PAWS – March St Trinians Experience

At our recent March AGM/St. Trinians evening on the 27^th March 44 members came along to select the new President- Sheila Gray. Sheila replaces Gen Fretwell as President and Pam Foakes will be her Vice-President for the forthcoming year. 9 of the existing committee were re-elected with Sue Copeland standing down having served many years on the W.I. committee before forming part of the new committee for P.A.W.S. Both were presented with flowers to thank them for all their hard work.

It was a very enjoyable evening with the majority of the members getting into the spirit of the evening by dressing up in “school attire” and we all tucked into some excellent Fish and Chips. We rounded the evening off with a quiz based on “Who Did What” which were fun questions supplied by the committee for the members to guess who did what.

Our next meeting is on 24^th April and we will be having Mr. Kaufmann-Wright back to tell us all about working with Gerald Durrell. Details of all our meetings and speakers can be found on the diary on the home page of the Winstred 100 website.

Membership is currently full, but visitors are very welcome at a cost of £3.50. If you would like any further information about P.A.W.S. please ring any of us on the following numbers. Alice 01206 735510, Jane 01206 735004 or Julia 01206 735053.

Village Design Statement & Parish Plan

parish-signs Cause for rejoicing! The Village Design Statement is complete and has been approved by Colchester Borough Council. You should expect your own copy to drop through your letterbox in a month or so.

It covers the villages of Peldon, The Wigboroughs, and Salcott cum Virley. Many of you contributed to it by completing a long and detailed questionnaire back in 2009 and a small group have been working on the results ever since.

A Village Design Statement is a statement of a village’s character and qualities. It documents what residents value about their area and what they consider are the important character and features which should be retained and preserved for current and future generations when new developments are considered. Once approved by the Borough Council the VDS must be taken account of when planning applications are assessed.

In giving unanimous approval to our VDS the Borough Council were most complimentary. Comments included “wonderful”, “fabulous”, “interesting and unique”, ”very useful to other groups”, “should be issued to Estate Agents to describe the parish to buyers”. A councillor representing one group who started their VDS before we did said they would be using ours as a model.

Unusually our VDS also includes a Parish Plan which highlights those issues the community would like the Parish Council and other authorities to address. Many suggestions were made during the lengthy process of producing the VDS and Parish Plan – not all of them correctly reported in the recent edition of the County Standard! The Parish Council will be formally considering the feasibility of implementing those suggestions which were supported by a majority of residents.

WINSTRED HUNDRED PARISH COUNCIL
Peldon Great Wigborough Little Wigborough Salcott Virley

Draft minutes of the meeting of Winstred Hundred Parish Council held at Salcott Village Hall at 7.30pm on Tuesday 13^th March 2012.

Present: Netty Knill Jones, Lynne Simmons, Phil Gladwin, Jinny Gale, Nicky Ellis, Jane Banks, Charles Dymond, Kevin Bentley, 1 Police Officer and 4 members of the public

Apologies for absence: John Walker, Andrew Ellis

Minutes of the last meeting were agreed by all and signed by the chairman with the alteration of Phil Gladwin being absent (not present) and the additional wording to Declarations of Interest: ‘and left the room when this was discussed.’

Borough Councillors: The structure of the Police force will be changing with the appointment of a Police and Crime Commissioner who will have overall responsibility for financial affairs, crime figures etc.

Essex has been picked for trials for the Community Budget in joining up of some government public bodies with ECC with the aim of reducing spending in certain areas. Civil Servants from Whitehall have come to County Hall for this purpose.

Abberton Reservoir Liaison Group meet tomorrow and our application for funds to improve our broadband will be discussed.

Lighting at the new Visitor Centre will be brought up for complaint. We’ve heard since that this was due to the time switch not working correctly and it should therefore not be a problem in future as the lights will only be used on occasions.

School Lane has had repair work carried out and all pot holes are being repaired more sensibly by repairing all in an area rather than the worst ones first and then returning for lesser ones later.

CBC have sent further letters to residents about cost of works that must be carried out in clearing drains and culverts to help in potential flooding problem areas.

Certain missing road signs will be reported for reinstating.

Public-Have Your Say – None

Declarations of Interest – None

1. Playgrounds – inspections have been routinely carried out and arising matters will be dealt with. Rubber clippings for Salcott have yet to be organized. Salcott goalposts have been repainted.

2. Village Design Statement – the completed work was presented to everyone for approval. With the alteration of a couple of minor details the parish council agreed unanimously to adopt this document. A very big thank you was given to all the team who contributed to the completion of this splendid piece of work. All households in our villages will receive a copy and it will be put on our website.

3. Police – there has been hare coursing locally, some children damaged a fence and the theft of diesel and catalytic converters still continues.

4. Website update – next month due to John’s absence.

5. CALC Meeting – was attended by two parish councillors where there was a presentation from CBC Tree Preservation Officer.

6. Broadband update – Parish Councillors have had a meeting with Lloyd Felton from County Broadband to discuss a scheme taking in some surrounding parish councils for faster broadband.

A vote of thanks was given to John and Phil for their extensive work on this so far.

7. Les Lapwood – due to family commitments has resigned and therefore the correct procedure will be followed to enable us to fill the vacancy. A letter of thanks will be written to him. See below.

PAWS – February 1st Ladies report

paws-john-knight PAWS’ February meeting on 28^th February was when Ann Hardy was due to reveal the “Secrets of the Royal Jewels”, but unfortunately due to ill-health she had to cancel and we were fortunate to enlist John Knight for the evening who told us about “America’s First Ladies.”

John proved to be a very able and knowledgeable speaker who has spent a lot of time in the U.S.A and indeed had a photo of his wife and himself with Bill Clinton taken in 2004, together with photographs of the portraits of the 13 First Ladies that are in the gallery of the Whitehouse. He told us a lot of background information about the First Ladies from Eleanor Roosevelt through to Michelle Obama and that the average age of an incoming President was 58 with his wife being 52. When most of us are thinking about taking things easy, or retiring, these people are taking on the most powerful job in the USA if not the world. A most interesting evening and hopefully we’ll see Ann next year.

Our next meeting is actually our AGM and therefore it is for Members only and is on 27^th March. We will be having a St. Trinians Night (so get out all the old school uniforms ladies). A Fish and Chip Supper will be provided and a Quiz. Details of all our meetings and speakers can we found on the diary on the home page of the Winstred 100 website.

Membership is currently full, but visitors are very welcome at a cost of £3.50, at any other meeting other than March.

If you would like any further information about P.A.W.S. please ring any of us on any of the following numbers. Alice 01206 735510, Jane 01206 735004, Julia 01206 735053 or Sue 01206 735212.

Borough Councillors: Empty salt bins have been an issue in Salcott and Great Wigborough and been followed up rigorously. The contractors who carried out the initial fill up insisted they had filled them all. This is obviously not the case but it was considered too late to address this now even though we had tried many times to get them filled up during the past month or two. Next year things will be noted and acted on more positively much sooner. There will be another fill all round this winter if there is another cold spell.

The Parish Council would like to express thanks to Chris Jones for clearing away the snow on Mill Lane.

Flooding issues are explained at item 5.
