• Finally, 2021 is here, 2020 was a long tough year for everyone, especially for those living alone and being isolated for most of the year, and unfortunately 2021 has found us in the same position, the message of staying at home and keeping safe must be followed.
• The Covid Vaccine for the Toynton area is Spilsby Franklin Hall. Residents will be contacted with a date to attend and anyone unable to attend due to being housebound will still be able to have a vaccination with the new vaccines that are being made available but will take a little longer.  Every adult will be offered the vaccine during 2021 and hopefully as many as possible will take the offer up. 
• Please remember to call 111 if you have an urgent medical problem, they will offer you advice on where to get treated safely and effectively, not forgetting if it is life threatening then call 999.
• Parents who have paid for school transport will be offered a 40% refund.
• Test and trace support payments are still available to support residents and their families if they have to isolate.
• Spoken with Highways regarding the double yellow lines.  This was previously assessed and after speaking with residents they were informed that this was no longer required but not contacted the Parish Council to confirm this, therefore will  get them to reassess this after lockdown.
• The County Council are working with Toynton All Saints Primary School’s new head teacher regarding plans and ideas for getting the children to the school safer.

This matter was discussed earlier in the meeting with LCC Cllr Bowkett and considered that this was still a necessity.

A letter had been received from the Headmistress of the Primary School which had been circulated among the Councillors regarding this matter stipulating measures in place with staggered start and end times for pupils and talking with Local Authority in aiding with this situation.

                           PCSO Pearson had contacted the clerk and informed that the area team have been paying attention to this as and when possible and will continue to do so, however they have not                               yet noticed any unnecessary obstructions.

                                On “Nextdoor” it has been reported how horrific the speeding is within the village.

The following planning applications had been received since the last meeting which were circulated among the planning forum for their observations:

Notification has been received from the Planning Inspectorate in association with appealing against conditions 2,6 and 7 relating to approved planning application applied to 9 Main Road, Toynton All Saints.  The decision was that condition 6 should be deleted and then a new condition imposed requiring the acoustic fence to be erected within two months from the date of this decision and thereafter retained and maintained.  However, conditions 2 and 7 were not reasonably imposed and therefore should be deleted.
