PC Minutes 8th May 2012

Draft minutes of the meeting of Winstred Hundred Parish Council
Held at Salcott Village Hall at 7.30pm on Tuesday 8th May 2012.

Present: Netty Knill-Jones, John Walker, Lynne Simmons, Phil Gladwin, Jinny Gale, Nicky Ellis, Jane Banks, Charles Dymond, Kevin Bentley, I Police Officer, Carys Handley (CBC Zone Warden), and 2 members of the public.

Apologies for absence: Andrew Ellis

The Annual Parish Assembly

The chairman welcomed everyone to the meeting.

County Councillor: Kevin Bentley explained that County Hall has, in line with government policy, cut spending significantly but that further cuts were necessary. Their aim is not to cut services but reduce wherever possible. They plan for commissioning and out-sourcing of certain services and staff will be trained to implement this efficiently. ECC has some 18,000 miles of roads to look after, so this alone is a huge task.

Borough Councillor: Kevin reported that pot holes on our roads are being dealt with systematically but that the recent very dry weather and now this very wet weather has made repaired pot holes bad again and new ones appear rapidly. A more efficient job is being carried out with usually just one visit from someone who will actually do the repair and then and by sealing around the edges of a repair.
There is still outstanding work to be carried out by a land owner in Salcott to improve flooding there although this recent bout of rain caused floods all across the county. The pipe work fitted in the last few years at Salcott crossroads appeared not to cope very well and will be reported back.
Road signage that has been missing for some time is on the list of out standing work and will be done eventually but priority is always given to emergency work.
A request from a resident for better signage to inform of Salcott Street being a dead-end will be looked into.
A grant source was suggested for repair work needed to the basket ball pad on Moss Hay at Peldon. This will be followed up.
The salt box in St Stephen’s Lane will be looked into for adding to the refill list.

Police: No crimes of late reported. During the year there have been some burglaries from homes, outbuildings and cars. Speed guns have been used on our roads and this will continue from time to time.

CBC Zone Warden: Carys explained the role and aims of the team who cover problems such as litter, graffiti, dog fouling and any other anti-social matter. They are always out and about and work closely with other bodies such as schools and the police. They will tackle and try their best to resolve any issues. We have asked for help with certain parking problems we have at present. The mobile number to reach them is 07507 665866.

Minutes of the last meeting were agreed and signed by the chairman

Parish Council AGM

Phil proposed, Jinny seconded and all agreed for Nicky to take over as Chairman for the next two years. John proposed, Nicky seconded and all agreed for Jane to be Vice-Chairman for the next two years. Jinny proposed, Nicky seconded and all agreed for Sue to be the Financial and Responsible Officer again. We have a vacancy for a parish councillor for the ward of Virley (anyone living within 3 miles of Virley can apply) contact the clerk if interested on 01206 735367.
Nicky expressed enormous thanks to Jinny for her huge contribution to the parish council in many ways. Jinny has proved to be a fair and dedicated leader, offering constant support whenever needed or requested and has moved the parish council forward with its performance. Everyone agreed totally with a round of applause.

Chairman’s Report – the main points were read out and the full version will be in the Gold Edition of the magazine that will go to every door in our villages as in previous years.
Financial Report was also mentioned in brief as the internal auditor was still in the process of completing the work. The full financial accounts will be in the Gold Edition.

Public-Have Your Say: The bus stop for the Visitor Centre on the new stretch of road alongside the reservoir was thought to be in a very dangerous position. This will be brought up at the next Reservoir Liaison Meeting.

Declarations of Interest: Nicky for planning application 120749 at Sampton Wick.

1. Playgrounds annual inspection report was discussed and considered to contain a couple of discrepancies in it that will be investigated. Any outstanding jobs will be addressed. James Faulkner from Peldon has very kindly offered to take a trailer to Salcott for Terry to fill with the old bark which he will then bring back to Peldon for Moss Hay play area. Charles has made a temporary repair to the Basket ball pad at Moss Hay. Specification and quotes will be sort for a proper repair job to be done when the weather is much drier.

2. Gold Edition Magazine is going to plan for the July edition and the cover will be much the same as last year.

3. Abbotts Hall/Essex Wildlife Trust – new meeting room will be finished within the year and it was thought that we would hold parish council meetings there in rotation with Peldon and Salcott village halls depending on cost and availability.

4. Broadband update – permission for an aerial on Peldon Church tower has been given by the PCC. A team of enthusiasts will be formed in preparation of rolling this important project out and also liaise with Abberton and Langenhoe. County Broadband will pay for social aspects and promotion. CBC will look after things for 5 years with agreement from Sue Jackson and then pass over to us. It was requested that all monies connected with this will be kept separately from parish council funds.

5. Churchyards Donations – Phil proposed, Jinny seconded and all agreed to donate the same amount as usual to the 4 churchyards but to write saying that unfortunately, due to the withdrawal of the grant from CBC, we may not be able to give the same level of funding next year.

6. Salcott Jubilee Celebrations – on the matter of their request for a donation it was agreed to write saying that unfortunately, due to rising expenses and with keeping the same level of services, and also not increasing our precept this year, we feel that we are sadly not in a position to donate to this event.

WINSTRED HUNDRED PARISH COUNCIL

Peldon Great Wigborough Little Wigborough Salcott Virley

Draft minutes of the meeting of Winstred Hundred Parish Council held at Peldon Village Hall at 7.30pm on Tuesday 10^th April 2012.

Present: Jane Banks, John Walker, Nicky Ellis, Phil Gladwin, Lynne Simmons, Netty Knill Jones and 3 members of the public

Apologies for absence: Kevin Bentley, Andrew Ellis, Charles Dymond, Jinny Gale

Minutes of the last meeting were agreed by all and signed by the vice chairman with the alteration at 6. Broadband update to say ‘It was agreed by all to give Phil a mandate to vote for this at the meeting and John Walker to represent us’ in our bid……..

Borough Councillors: Simon High, from CBC Street and Leisure Services, is making good progress with organizing ditch clearance in Great Wigborough and hopefully will pursue residents in Salcott for similar work to be carried out in order to assist with potential flooding issues.

Public-Have Your Say: None

Declarations of Interest: None

1. Police – no reports of crimes to our knowledge.

2. Gold Edition Magazine – cost will be the same as last year, John will organize the cover as before and as usual it will be delivered to all the houses in our five villages by various willing volunteers. This edition will include the Chairman’s and the year’s financial reports.

3. Playgrounds and fields – any outstanding work in the playgrounds will be carried out shortly. Volunteers will be asked to assist in collecting the old bark from Salcott play area and take to Peldon. Following that the rubber clipping can be arranged for Salcott. Volunteers will also be sort to help clear the ditch on Moss Hay, overgrown shrubbery will be cut back in the autumn and the basket ball area assessed for safety, repairs and obtaining a grant. There has been dog fouling again on Moss Hay. This is dangerous to children’s health and very unpleasant for all so please pick up your dog’s mess. We will report to the dog warden any culprits we hear of.

4. Website update – progress is being made.

5. Abberton Reservoir Expansion, Community Funds & Rights of Way – if all goes to plan the new road will be opened on Saturday. For the time being the old road from Layer Church will be used for access to the Visitor Centre. The water level in the reservoir will take a couple of years to adjust and be established. Our well presented application for funding has been accepted and funds granted (see Broadband below). Footpaths have yet to be sorted as that cannot be done until nearing completion of the main works. John offered to be our representative on the Rights of Way Committee when formed.

6. Broadband update – we have received confirmation that funding is available from the 106 Reservoir agreement to create hi-speed internet wireless network in the Winstred 100, the network will include Layer Breton. This will give our villages internet speed equivalent to the UK’s largest cities and access to ‘urban’ style online facilities including TV, films, video links, free phone calls etc. This gift is a unique opportunity, most rural areas in the UK will not ever in the foreseeable future benefit from this kind of facility.

7. CBC Emergency Planning Meeting – was attended and their main objective is forming lists of appropriate people to be of use in an emergency. Our updated plan when finished will be sent to CBC for advice and or approval.

8. Flooding matters update – as above in Borough Councillors

9. Standing Orders – Phil proposed, Jane seconded and all agreed for the small change in the wording in our Standing Orders be adopted. This accommodates for a situation where the chair cannot be found for one reason or another from our usual order of rotation of the villages.

10. Actions and Reminders List – updated

11. Complaint to CBC about the Parish Councillors – It was noted that Mr Bevan has lodged a formal complaint with CBC about all the members of the Parish Council. The complaint is related to planning issues. The Parish Council does not believe that there is any substance in the complaint but will, of course, co-operate fully with the relevant authorities who will investigate it.

12. Salcott crossroads bus shelter – many thanks were given to Terry Simmons for doing such a splendid job of modifying this bus shelter to make it more weather-proof for users. We hope to put a photo of the finished result on the website.

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.

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.

Draft minutes of the meeting of Winstred Hundred Parish Council held at Peldon Village Hall at 7.30pm on Tuesday 14^th February 2012.

Present: Charles Dymond, Jane Banks, Nicky Ellis, Jinny Gale, Phil Gladwin, Netty Knill Jones, Lynne Simmons, I Police Officer and 2 members of public

Apologies for absence: John Walker, Phil Gladwin, Kevin Bentley, Andrew Ellis

Minutes of the last meeting were agreed by all and signed by the chairman

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.

Public-Have Your Say – None

Declarations of Interest – Netty Knill Jones for planning item application no.120033

2. Village Design Statement is nearing completion and will be ready for the draft to be considered at the March meeting. Quotes for printing are being sort.

3. Police – there has been a break-in at a farm in Peldon and some items stolen. A number of cars etc have been retrieved from ditches due to the icy road conditions.

4. Broadband Update – our two sources of information were absent from this meeting

5. Walkabout following Flood Summit Meeting – Borough Councillors were joined by Parish Councillors along with Simon High, CBC Land Drainage and Building Technician to look closely at particularly bad spots for flooding. Letters have been written by Simon High to land owners with regard to ditch and culvert clearance.

6. Grass cutting offer from Tiptree – we will be replying to Tiptree PC declining their offer to join forces with their grass cutting equipment and staff as we are more than satisfied with our own arrangements.

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 10^th January 2012.

Present: Nicky Ellis, Phil Gladwin, Jane Banks, John Walker, Netty Knill-Jones, Kevin Bentley, 3 Police and 2 members of the public

Apologies for absence: Jinny Gale, Lynne Simmons, Charles Dymond, Terry Sutton, Andrew Ellis

Minutes of the last meeting were agreed by all and signed by the vice-chairman

Police: Thanks were given to the police for their attendance. There has been very little crime in our villages of late apart from hare coursing. Speed checks have been carried out periodically and just a few people are exceeding the limit. Possibly on one of the worst occasions out of 50 people checked 8 were speeding and none by very much. The perception often appears greater than the actual truth.

101 is the new number to call with non-emergency situations.

Borough Councillors: Grants from the Abberton Reservoir Community Funds have been awarded to the three applicants, Peldon Church, Peldon Village Hall and a resident in Layer affected by noise from the works. A time limit is given for spending these funds.

Following the Flood Summit meeting our Borough Councillors and an experienced CBC Officer will be visiting the places that have serious flooding problems when the weather is particularly wet. One of our parish councillors will join them if available at the time. Who owns which culvert will be the main source of the investigation.

Poor road surfaces including Maldon Road, School Lane and St Stephens Lane will be chased up for repairs as will empty salt boxes, in Great Wigborough and Salcott.

Broadband improvements are a concern for all our villages and ECC are working alongside other bodies to help achieve a good solution to the problem.

Public-Have Your Say – None

Declarations of Interest – None

1. Playgrounds – reports were not available due to illness etc. but inspections had been carried out as normal. Rubber clippings will be ordered when a suitable drop off time and place have been decided.

2. Salcott Meadow/Creek – requests for fencing along the creek edge were discussed at length all of us having read the four reports received from authoritative bodies. Phil proposed, Netty seconded and all agreed that following four independent reports regarding a potential water hazard the advice received was to install more signage which we will carry out shortly. Only one report mentioned fencing but advising against it. We were required to pay for two of the reports totaling £260.

3. Precept/Grant 2012/2013 – finances were discussed at length using the prepared detailed sheet. Our predicted spending for the year (year finishes 31/03/12) is not far out from the money received therefore Phil proposed, Jane seconded and all agreed to keep the precept/grant the same as last year.

4. Police – as above

5. Chairman and Vice for the next 2 year period – following councillors circumstances changing it will prove difficult to keep to the same village rotation system that we have been using therefore we will amend our standing orders to adapt this at the AGM in May. It was agreed by all that Jinny has made a huge contribution to the parish council since she joined and every effort will be made to keep up the standard that she has created.

6. Broadband update: John presented us with a very informative pack and has been researching this matter thoroughly in the aim of better broadband speed and availability for all our villages.

7. Website update: Again John has been working to take up this work.

8. Sparklers Report: The number of people seemed to be similar to last year, although by mistake the counter wasn’t carried out. The set-up had been moved around to give more space for the crowds. A road sign had been put in the wrong place causing congestion. A few people had been treated by the Red Cross, mainly for grit in eyes and nothing too serious although one person had been hit by a bottle being thrown. Record money was taken and in general it was a very successful evening. Any problems have been noted and will be addressed for next year’s event including a limit on the advertising.

9. Abberton Reservoir Report: Work has progressed well due to the dry weather. The new road will be opened in March. Any complaints to the Water Company have been addressed immediately. We are not happy with the outside lighting at the new Visitor Centre and will be making our feelings known to the planning department.

10. Actions and Reminders List – updated

Planning:

112327 Proposal: 3 vehicle detached garage at Fourways Farm, Barnhall Road, Salcott
