PARISH COUNCIL NOTES
From the meeting held 5th July 2001 in the
Village Hall
Matters Arising from last meeting
Clay Street - It is hoped to do some ditch
clearing when building work has finished.
Path to school - No report from WCC has yet been received.
The contractors, Ringway Parkman, are to carry out a
study and report on feasibility and cost; there is a
possibility of a traffic light-controlled system in
Common Road to facilitate a footpath.
Rights of Way - WCC have stated that all RoW shall be
opened from 6th July 2001. Reasonable diversions could be
discussed with WCC. Any complaints to WCC.
 Skateboard Park
The park is now in use and being enjoyed by
local youngsters. There have been some problems including
litter and bad behaviour, some of which caused by those
from nearby villages. P C Day is to check the park
regularly and the Memorial Ground Management Committee to
erect a notice of conditions of use. The possibility of
erecting floodlights to be investigated in six months'
time.
Environment
It was noted that BKG are again parking trailers
on the old garage site in Common Road. SDC are still
looking into the legality of this.
Low flying helicopters - Clerk to report to MoD.
Biffa Grant
Still awaiting written confirmation of the grant.
Planning
Biffa Waste site - there has been a modification
to the pre-settlement waste infilling contours. The
Environment Agency have agreed Biffa will be allowed to
fill to higher levels as, due to large amounts of gas,
more settlement is taking place. The Parish Council have
written to express their extreme concern about the
increase in traffic to the site this will cause. The
Chairman is to attend the first meeting of a liaison
group involving the Road Haulage Association, WCC,
Hampshire CC, and others to discuss heavy traffic on the
A27. (Post meeting there is to be a traffic survey in
September on the A27).
Application for 5 dwellings on BKG site - the PC have
recommended this be refused as this is outside the
Housing Policy Boundary and it is not a redundant
brownfield site nor are the buildings of architectural
merit.
Cowesfield Nurseries - visibility splays have still not
been satisfactorily installed despite a small amount of
work done. To be pursued by SDC Enforcement.
Village Hall Committee
A meeting had been held during the first week in
July but the Parish Council representatives had not been
informed about it and so did not attend. A request had
been previously been sent from the PC that PC reps. be
informed of each meeting. Clerk to investigate why this
had not happened and to ask for the dates of meetings
over the next year.
Election of Parish Council Representatives
Following the elections at the AGM, Cllr Morrish
found she had to resign from the Planning Committee due
work and personal commitments. It was proposed by Cllr
LeQuesne and seconded by Cllr Bray that Cllr Billett fill
the vacancy on the Planning Committee. All were in favour.
The Planning Committee now consists of: Cllrs LeQuesne,
Green, Billett and Beauchamp.
Funding for classroom extension at School
The Chairman of the Governors made a
presentation about the need for an extra classroom; £40,000
is needed in total. There was some discussion about the
legality of the Parish Council donating money to the
school. The Finance Committee will meet to discuss
further after some investigations have been made and they
will report to the Parish Council.
Parish Council Website
No progress has yet been made due to holidays
and computer problems; however it is still planned to
publish the Parish Council notes on the website when
possible.
Next Meeting
To be held on Thursday, 16th August, 2001 at 7.30
pm in the Village Hall. Villagers may speak at the
discretion of the Chairman. Please contact the Clerk or
any Parish Councillor if you can't attend and wish to
raise any village matter.
