Flooding and weather related issues
There was a large attendance from Salcott on the back of flooding concerns. Alex Graham and his neighbour had also been flooded. Phil and Kevin Bradshaw and others did an excellent job in helping out and getting CBC and Highways involved.
A full examination of ditches in the Wigboroughs (and Peldon?) had taken place and Roger Went would be writing to land owners reminding them of their responsibility to keep ditches clear. He will also deal with the flooded ditch problem at the entrance to Peldon Hall. It was good that Roger had come out while the water was still lying and running so that he could really see the impact and extent of things we have complained about before but which he had never seen for himself. As a result it looks as though there will be some action taken.
Roger and Alan Bligh(?) will meet with Kevin Bradshaw within a few days re the flooding at Salcott. Subsequent note from Terry Simmons:
Today (
Three members of the village and three from highway’s ie -Martin Parminter ,Dave Whybrow, and Myself from Salcott Plus Alan Blyth, Roger Went ,And Simon High, from highway’s they also brought with them a jetting machine .
The drains from the crossroad’s to Mill lane were jetted and the finding’s are as follows.
Highways will repair broken drain and pipe work across road number’s 1 and 9
Simon High will write to home/land owners to request for work to done for number’s 2.3.4.5.6.7.8.10.11.
appended.
The mood at the start of the meeting from the Salcott section of the public was fairly antagonistic but when they heard what had been done and was still to be done they went away well pleased.
Emergency Plan
There were new telephone numbers for the CBC Emergency Team (which they had changed without telling us!) and we were urged to investigate and make emergency provision related to any hazardous activities which regularly take place on our patch. We decided that there was nothing of particular note which we should include in our Emergency Plan.
Jinny to update the Plan and arrange with Sue for amendments to be circulated.
Salt bins
CBC would not supply an additional salt bin free of charge for the Turf Farm area of Salcott but one could be provided and kept filled for a charge of £350. The mood of the Council was receptive to this idea but it needs to be formally proposed and voted on at the next Council Meeting.
Abberton Liaison Group
The Abberton Liaison Group will be meeting on 9th March.
Communications Committee
The council approved the Communications Committee’s work to date on the website, agreed with the proposal to abandon formal computer training and institute a self-help approach and agreed in principle with the e-mail protocol which needs to be formally submitted and voted on at the next meeting.
We recruited four more people to the e-mail experiment, bringing the total number of people on that list up to 36. This service was rated as well worth keeping.
The Freedom of Information document was referred back to the Communications Committee for further discussion, in particular with Sue about what records she holds. The council agreed that access to information should normally be free although, at the Clerk’s discretion, a charge not exceeding the cost of producing the information could be made. This to protect the Council against repeated frivolous enquiries and to reclaim any expenditure should any enquiry require a large effort or incur incidental significant costs.
The Council was happy for the Communications Committee to progress consideration of the short list of four possible website designers.
The Council felt that we should explore fully the costs of sponsoring another Gold Edition of the Peldon and Wigboroughs Parish News this year to ensure that our Annual Report was delivered to every house in the Parish. Nicky had asked Bill for quotes for up to four pages extra. The estimate is a maximum of £100. Last year we felt that we could do a circular ourselves for £84 but we preferred the marginally more expensive Parish News approach as being more community-minded, provided the costs did not exceed the quote. Nicky pointed out that we could probably split the cost with the Five Parishes group who were pleased to take advantage of the initiative last year.
Nicky suggested and all agreed that we should make sure that copies of Minutes put into the Parish News should be clearly marked as being Draft Minutes not yet agreed by the Parish Council.
Village Design Statement
The council was pleased to hear of very good progress with the VDS. The questionnaire was finalised, CBC had agreed to be the receiving point for our returned forms and Nicky had applied for a grant. The Council made sympathetic noises about possibly deploying excess money budgeted for the VDS (should there be any) to the website development if required. It was noted that the website would benefit a number of Parish Council initiatives.
Essex Speed Management Consultation
We agreed to respond to the Essex Speed Management Strategy consultation commenting that we supported the strategy and welcomed the greater emphasis on speed limits on rural roads. We had been asking for limits on roads which we know to be dangerous and accident prone and look forward to receiving a more sympathetic response in future
Moss Hay
We talked about Christine Nash’s thoughts about tidying up Moss Hay. The Parish Council supported the idea of a community initiative to progress this with the thought that there might be funds available if required once a clear plan of action had been set out. Frances and Christine will get together to work out what might be necessary and possible and bring back a proposal to the next Parish Council meeting.

> K R Fellowes
Sue had acknowledged Mr Fellowes’ e-mail saying that he had not been contacted re the VDS and with comments about LDF sites. Nicky had replied to the VDS part and Jinny would reply to the section of his e-mail referring to the LDF consultation.
LDF Public Consultation
Jinny to draft a reply along the lines that we noted the non-selection of all the sites in our parish except for possibly affordable housing. We supported the decision to restrict the site at Pantiles since although it is technically outside our area any change to traffic to and from the site would affect Peldon.
We would repeat the gist of the comments made earlier to CBC, since these are not carried forward into the conclusions of the Public Consultation. These to include the strong desire for the return of a shop and that there was some support for small and sympathetic residential development if that would bring more families into the community.
Rural Housing Association
We agreed to respond to a letter from the English Rural Housing Association asking whether they could present at one of our meetings to the effect that if the possibility of development on one of our ‘affordable housing only’ sites looked possible we would be pleased to have presentation from them but until such a possibility loomed we would decline their kind offer.
Peldon Fireworks
We noted the independent report by Robert Kean which satisfactorily addressed the issues which arose from this year’s event and thanked Robert for producing it.

Apologies for absence: None
Minutes of the last meeting were agreed and signed by the chairman with one alteration at 7. obtained from ‘ECC Community Initiative Funding (CIF)’ and CBC Town and Parish Grant Scheme etc.
County Councillor: There will be money for power plants using farm waste for cheap heating for affordable housing. Lead by Environmental Agency and Natural England the shore line management plan is to be altered. The request is for wind farms not to be on land. The Regional Assembly is being abolished. There should be more incentive to land owners to supply land for affordable housing which can be part owned and for which the criteria for having one may be controlled by the village itself. Community Initiative Funds and Youth CIFs will continue. Many of the houses allocated for this part of the country have been built already.
Peldon Village Hall money granted to them in the last year’s scheme was withdrawn as their project has changed. Funding from elsewhere was confirmed as village halls are an important part of rural life. Essex is 72% rural.
Borough Councillors: There was a speed gun in operation in Peldon recently and apparently some were caught. Gritting of Barnhall Road has been requested again. There has been a request for a salt bin to be situated along The Street in Salcott. Excess water on the road by Hillside Farm in Great Wigborough will be investigated next time it appears.
Chevrons on a bend in Great Wigborough have been knocked over and will be reported to ECC Highways. The spending of the money acquired from the Abberton Reservoir expansion scheme is to be decided by a panel from the local parish councils. Liaison with Essex and Suffolk Water will be constant.

Minutes of the last meeting were agreed with two alterations: a) Borough Councilliors’ section should be ‘There will be an investigation and we note there was no money in Icelandic banks on 01/05/08’ (deleting: ‘because they had been advised that it was a bad investment had taken the money out but put it back in some months later’). b) 6. Meetings and courses attended – adding ‘it was agreed to write to Ian Vipond, Executive Director at CBC, with our concerns about CALC’. After these amendments the minutes were signed by the chairman.
Borough Councillors: We are hopeful of Police or PCSO attendance to our meetings now and again, and are expecting a letter from the Police to that effect.
It has been noted that some people, when moving house, are taking the green plastic waste boxes with them. Please leave them for the next occupant as the boxes are for the property and not the people. There will be a delivery of clear waste sacks fairly soon.

Borough Councillors: The reservoir application will probably come before the Planning Committee in October and we will send a nominated spokesperson to make our requests. More dog bins are now available and suggested sites, which must meet a certain criteria, will be submitted.
Public – Have Your Say: New sign and chevrons near Salcott crossroads obstructed by overgrown hedges will be reported, also a rut in the verge opposite Hillside Farm in Wigborough. The hedge surrounding Moss Hay is overgrown and so this will be dealt with using a flail cutter. The footpath there also needs attention.

County Councillor: NATS are proposing to reroute the stacking area possibly over Dedham Vale and Saffron Walden but it will be over 8000 feet high. Another one is being considered over the Thames and Southend. The Bradwell Power Station application will be submitted soon and it is thought that Maldon Council will give their approval. The government talks of ECO towns which are really just new houses. A Countryside Commission Panel is being formed to discuss and take action on things such as local industry, using old redundant farm buildings etc. The Abberton Reservoir application is now being considered.
Borough Councillor: There is a China Exhibition in the castle from July to September. The new stadium will open in 2 weeks time and will be used for other activities or events than just football. Money is to be spent on better cycle paths and road lanes to encourage people to cycle more.
Public – Salcott Village Hall is to have new toilets. Salcott will no longer hold a fireworks event but will continue with the Open Air Band Night which is a good fund raiser.
Declarations of Interest: None if item 10. is not discussed in detail.
Items for Discussion
10. Local Development Framework Site Allocations – sites can be added or taken out until the consultation period in January 09. Phil proposed, Lynne seconded and the majority agreed to wait until then for our reply, unless the planners say otherwise. When the list is complete we will probably hold a public meeting, possibly in conjunction with VDS work, to discuss all the sites in our villages.

081237 Proposal: Listed Building application for internal and external alterations at Brickhouse Farm, Lower Road, Peldon

Borough Councillor: Householders along the Salcott to Peldon Rose road have all had a notification letter advising them of the proposed highway safety and maintenance works. Salcott Street cannot be included in the scheme but pot holes will be dealt with efficiently.
Pressure will be applied on CBC for the Bellwood caravan inhabitant to be prosecuted for the appeal decision to be upheld. BT have sent a notification about their intention to remove certain telephone boxes that are not used sufficiently. Letters will be written to express disapproval. The date for CBC Planning Committee to discuss the reservoir planning application has yet to be decided. Verge cutting in our area needs doing badly – this will be chased up.
County Councillor: Help was given for funding our road improvement scheme for which we are very grateful. There are to be several new nuclear power stations built over the next few years. NATS proposed changes to airspace involves a stacking area over Dengie. This is for a city airport therefore none at night but will be noisy and pollutant. We will also write to suggest it is moved out a few miles over the sea. The capital grant fund comes from selling property over the years and there is a substantial amount for all the parish councils to bid for. Several other matters were explained such as County Planning, abolishment of the Regional Assembly, etc.
