LACK of co-ordination between higher authorities was criticised at Monday's meeting of Inkberrow Parish Council, held under the chairmanship of Mr R Hunt.

The resurfacing of Church Road, Cookhill, was quoted as a case in point.

Although it was agreed that the county council had made an excellent job of it, members said it was a great pity that it had not been deferred for at least a few months.

Evesham RDC had completed the task of laying out mains along the side of the road and it was hoped to make connections for the supply of water to about seven houses in the next month.

This would entail breaking up the road in several places and completely spoiling the good work.

Members also referred to the refusal of the Ministry of Transport to allow signs to be reinstated at Inkberrow, although the request had been sponsored by the county council and the police.

It was also stated that no further steps had been taken to avoid more motor accidents at the junction of Arrow Lane and the main Evesham Road.
