Go to CCC website colchester.gov.uk for more details.

A footpath in Peldon has been dealt with thanks to an adjacent land owner and will also be attended to by ECC in due course.

Winstred Hundred PC Minutes – 12th September 2023

WINSTRED HUNDRED PARISH COUNCIL

Peldon   Great Wigborough   Little Wigborough   Salcott   Virley

Draft minutes of the meeting of Winstred Hundred Parish Council held at St Stephen’s Church, Great Wigborough on Tuesday 12th September 2023 at 7.30pm.

Present: Robert Davidson, Roger Pittock, Netty Knill Jones, Clare Lauwerys, Liz Davidson, Jinny Gale (chair), Kevin Bentley and 4 members of the public

Apologies for absence: Catherine Sprott, Phil Gladwin, John Walker

The minutes of the July 2023 meeting were agreed by all and signed by the chairman

County Councillor Report: Essex County Council is reassessing its waste strategy; collections, disposals etc are to be streamlined, information on the matter is on ECC website. Inspections for RAAC in schools and other public buildings have taken place and only one school, two libraries and a car park have had to be closed for the necessary work to take place.

City Councillor Report: Colchester City Council is struggling financially and certain services will need to be cut or reduced. Clear plastic sacks are out for delivery now.

Public-Have Your Say: There was a complaint about the untidiness of the green triangle at Peldon which will be followed up accordingly. Item 1 below was discussed at length.

Declarations of Interest: Robert and Liz Davidson for planning application 231889 and Roger Pittock for 231470.

  1. Salcott Speed Meeting was organised and attended by Salcott and Virley residents. It was established that certain sections of The Street were suffering from speeding vehicles and the lack of pavements, narrow sections and parked cars made it very difficult to walk along there safely. Suggestions from the parish council were sought and ideas to help the situation were discussed and a suggestion of setting up a meeting in the village hall with a County or City Councillor to establish what can or cannot be achieved would be a good start. Also, the Turf Farm will be consulted for their assistance as garden businesses picking up turf in the mornings are thought to be one of the problems.
  2. Playgrounds and Playing Fields are in good order, missing caps on a play item were fitted and rust on a pedal of the rower will be attended to.Thanks were expressed to Rob for strimming round the Peldon playground area.
  3. RCCE Affordable Housing Survey, accompanying letter and publication article; we agreed to proceed with finalising the details of the various pieces of text and arranging dates with RCCE. 
  4. Actions and Reminder List – updated and to note Little Wigborough village sign is being repainted having been dried out and repaired; following a meeting with ECC Highways a survey on speeding through Great Wigborough will be carried out which will determine if lengthening the 30 mph limit section is warranted; the weeds on the banks of Salcott creek have been reported to the Environmental Agency and they are due to carry out clearance work in the creek in October; the Moss Hay footpath fence will be repaired by Colchester Homes in due course.

Planning Applications:

231582Proposal: Demolition of existing conservatory and reception of a rear single storey link extension at Glebelands, The Street, Salcott
231627Proposal: Two storey outbuilding at Hillside Cottage, Colchester Road, Great Wigborough
