reasons. Andrew Hubinger stated the road is like a country lane with a canopy of trees lining it

and is concerned with increased speed resulting with widening the road as well al loss of the

character of the road. The residents are looking for a compromise to achieve a safer road with

minimal changes.

and stated the upgrade is necessary. Rocky said a compromise is being made in saving the stone

walls and saving as many trees as practical.

Faith stated that as improving the road is part of his planning approval condition a CO will not be issued till that is done.
