42/15	CLERK’S REPORT

The following updates to matters arising were noted:

1)	Northfield Road Cycle/Pedestrian Path:  Actual sum supplied by TW = £115,716.65.   HCC estimate could cost £500k.  The results of the topography element of the engineering study will not now be available until the end of July, so the parish council does not anticipate an update until August.
2)	Marsworth-Pitstone footpath: 2nd feasibility study funding of £6,862 approved at LAF on 12/3/15. Main concerns from first study were restricted width in some places and drainage issues.  Allan Purchase the nominated Schemes Engineer for the project.  He visited site with Peter Smythe on 2/7/15 & had a meeting with Paul Hodson (BCC) on 8/7/15.  Discussed at LAF on 9/7/15.  Allan Purchase advised on 16/7/15 that been made aware of potential alternative routes that must be considered & therefore a meeting arranged for 5/8/15 (being attended by Cllrs Saintey & Arney) to determine exact scope.  Results will be received too late to submit a bid for New Homes Bonus funding this September.
3)	Castlemead Issues: Steve Essam at Transport for Bucks in charge of negotiating highways handover.   No progress with Taylor Wimpey.
4)	Castlemead Lighting:  Requirements for Phase V, and Phases I-V, submitted.  Daniel Hadaway of JLES Group handling Phase V.  Tyler Merries of TDS responsible for Phases I-IV.  BCC advise that adoption can’t take place until post Westfield Road adoption, so agreement not anticipated in the short term.  BCC to adopt Westfield Road and industrial estate lighting in due course.  
5)	Parish map: almost complete.  Hope to present a draft to the September meeting.  	
6)	Castlemead Post Box:  Gary Plummer at Royal Mail hopes the post box will be installed by the middle of August.
7)	BCC and AVDC Land by The Crescent: Both AVDC and BCC oppose registering the land as Local Green Space within the NDP.  Both wish to retain flexibility to develop for other uses.  PPC has submitted applications to register both parcels as Assets of Community Value under the Community Right to Bid scheme, to AVDC.  AVDC have advised the residents of The Crescent about the application & Kris Weber/Clerk attended a meeting with residents of The Crescent to explain the scheme on 28/7/15.  AVDC to respond to the latter within 8 weeks ie in September.   It was noted that BCC has now also submitted their land at The Crescent under the “Call for Sites” with AVDC.
8)	Quarry 1, Local Wildlife Site: Surveys continue to be undertaken.  Further advice may be available once the results are known.
9)	Leisure Land by the Recreation Ground, including Skate Park and Play Space: No action can be taken by the Parish Council at this point.  Parish Charity is unable to negotiate until such time as planning permission has been granted & therefore sale of the PDA has completed.   
10)	Football/Mini-Tennis/Tennis/Netball/Scout Hut: all being discussed as part of pavilion redevelopment project
11)	Legionella Training: course completed and passed by the clerk.  Course purchased for

16)	Pensions Staging – full report to appear on a later agenda

Party in the Park consultation event on 3/7/15, event attended by an estimated 2,000 people.   Kris Weber attended Marsworth Parish Council meeting on 13/7/15.  Over 120 responses received.   RCOH assessing the statutory consultees’ responses.  NDP Steering Group assessing both the statutory and non-statutory responses.  Then the necessary changes will be made to the plan.

Both the Local Green Space and Landscape Designation policies may need additional evidence to support.  It was noted that the Cheddington examiners report is now available on the AVDC web site, and this will be reviewed by the Pitstone NDP team as it also includes landscape policies.

4)	Pub Consultation
Ran from 1 to 30 June 2015.  117 responses received via hard copy plus further 86 responses electronically.  47 residents offered assistance of some form.   NDP setting up a separate sub-group meeting for all those that expressed an interest to determine viability.

5)	Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) 
Consultation ran from 10 June to 15 July 2015.  Responses being considered by NDP and rCOH, before amendments to the plan put into place.

6)	Update to HRA
Further to the resolution at the last meeting, Lepus Consulting were employed to update the HRA at a cost of £789.05 excluding VAT and expenses.   RCOH advised that they couldn’t undertake this work.  AVDC consultancy services declined to update their own HRA in case any conflicts of interest arose.  Mr Frearson (local resident) couldn’t assist and directed us to Ben Poulton of Acer Conservation, who couldn’t assist, and referred us to Stephen Mason of Tuolomni Nature Restoration, who also declined.  Invitations to quote were sent to Arcus, Atmos, LUC, Lepus and URS agencies.   Only Lepus Consulting initially replied that they were willing to undertake the work and provided a quotation (£780).   The parish council considered the information electronically and approved appointment.  Lepus were instructed on 13/7/15.    After appointing Lepus, LUC apologised for a delayed response and quoted £1,020 + VAT on 15/7/15, which was considerably higher than Lepus.  Also on 15/7/15 Arcus responded to say that they had not yet had time to prepare a quotation.  Lepus carried out the work and provided the report on 29/7/15.  This is now being reviewed by NDP prior to issuing the consultation.  The HRA must be submitted to Natural England & AVDC + publicised on the web site for a period of 4 weeks.  The outcome of the consultation must be taken into consideration when compiling the final version of the NDP plan.

7)	Neighbourhood Planning Independent Examiner Referral Service
AVDC’s response included information about the above service offered by RICS.  This service checks your final draft to ensure that it meets the Basic Conditions requirements, and highlights any areas of concern, so that they are identified and rectified before the final report is submitted.   Cost £375 + VAT per day + reasonable expenses.  It was RESOLVED that this would be desirable and to make enquiries about the likely extent of works required.  Council RESOLVED to approve up to 3 days of work, and if RICS estimate is higher than this, to revert back to the next council meeting.

8)	CIB Financial Update
It was noted that £3,779.17 of net costs remain outstanding with the CIB/rCOH consultancy contract.

45/15	PITSTONE DEVELOPMENT AREA

46/15	SPORTS AND LEISURE COMMITTEE

1)	Pavilion/Football
1.1	It was RESOLVED to meet the cost of the following remedial works at the pavilion: re-attach a section of guttering; repair all vandalised fence panels, repair gate post on maintenance access gate and replace padlock on pedestrian gate.
1.2	It was noted that P&I FC had returned their booking form for the pavilion, and also that both the Sunday team and P&I Senior side had returned their occupational licence agreements for the Recreation Ground.
1.3	The next agenda item was to discuss enhancements required at the pavilion site to enable play by the P&I reserve team within the South Midlands League.  Both P&I teams will need to play at the pavilion site the following season, as the Memorial Hall doesn’t meet the league’s minimum regulations with regard to toilets in the referees room or segregated toilets from the public.  It was therefore RESOLVED to permit Paolo Aquila, Chairman of P&I FC, to speak on behalf of the club.  After a debate, it was RESOLVED that:

a)	The Parish Council would meet the cost of installing an additional internal door to segregate the player’s toilets from those of the public (£695 + VAT) and the associated additional signage for the door and disabled toilet door (£3.50).
b)	The Parish Council has already met the cost of post and rope barriers.
c)	The Parish Council will fund the cost of an emergency stretcher (£99.99 + VAT)
d)	The Parish Council will meet the initial cost of £528.28 for parts for the dug outs and Paolo will contribute labour to construct the dug outs.  P&I FC will seek to contribute further voluntary labour at the pavilion site, and/or funds to repay the cost of the materials, as the season progresses.   The Parish Council retained the right to increase fees at the pavilion site commensurately to fund any outlay if no contributions were forthcoming.
e)	It was noted that the clerk had obtained permission from Taylor Wimpey for P&I FC to clear the balancing pond if they so wished.
f)	The Parish Council confirmed that they would be open to an approach from P&I FC relating to advertising boards at the pavilion site as a means of generating income.
g)	Following this agenda item Paolo Aquila left the meeting.

1.4	Site Redevelopment
The original minutes of the meeting with Town Lands Charity were noted, where TLC were willing to discuss leasing an 11m strip to the Parish Council.  Following a meeting with the designer, it was noted that such a long thin strip did not easily accommodate the required facilities and therefore the same amount of space had been requested, but 22m wide and only half as long.  TLC had responded that they would need to discuss the request with their board on 24/8/15 and would respond thereafter.

1.5	Water Heater Service Contract
It was RESOLVED to renew the service contract for the pavilion Lochinvar water heater with British Gas at a cost of £384.26 + VAT.  

1.6	Other Bookings
a)	It was RESOLVED (voted unanimously) to grant the hire of the pavilion site to Ivinghoe Entertainments for their annual bonfire & firework display.  Set up on 6/11, event on 7/11, clear up on 8/11/15.  It was further RESOLVED to charge the previously agreed £500.00 refundable deposit fee against damage etc with no individual event booking charge.  The council wished Ivinghoe Entertainments every success with their event.
b)	As there was no separate meeting on the Recreation Ground Charity in the near future, the full Parish Council (as sole trustee of the Recreation Ground) considered the request for a private fireworks display to accompany a wedding at the museum.  It was RESOLVED with 7 votes to 1, to regrettably decline the request due to complications arising from Village Green legislation but to recommend the applicant approach the private owner of the adjacent field.
1.7	Policies
Following consideration of the annual review and associated draft documentation, it was RESOLVED to approve all the following amended policies and the Chairman was duly authorised to sign them on behalf of the council:

a)	Fire Risk Assessment
b)	Emergency Plan
c)	H&S Policy
d)	H&S Risk Assessment

1.8	Licence
It was RESOLVED to renew the licence with South Beds Driving relating to the hire of the pavilion car park with no amendments to the terms & conditions or monthly charge.  It was noted that the kids that trespass at the pavilion are also causing problems in the car park, weaving in and out whilst the learners are trying to reverse the trailers.

2)	Grant application from Ivinghoe & Pitstone United Cricket Club
It was RESOLVED to bring forward this item so that the guest speakers, John Lowe and John Groom, representing the cricket club could present additional information to support their application.  It was further RESOLVED to permit the two named gentlemen to present to the meeting.

Having given some general background into the application and brought the council up-to-date since the last presentation, John Lowe also explained that I&PUCC were hoping to achieve Club Mark status by the end of this year and had already undertaken a significant amount of work, including a dedicated focus last year on recruiting and training coaches & welfare officers etc.  I&PUCC is also one of a limited number of clubs with an increasing membership.   

It was RESOLVED to support the project and to purchase the ground consumables required eg lime, sand and limestone with an anticipated cost of £3,201.80.  The club will contribute an equal equivalent amount of skilled voluntary time to undertake the work and the individuals have already attended a number of training sessions and seminars.  The club could hopefully contribute a similar financial sum to cover the hire of any necessary equipment etc.    It was further RESOLVED to permit the disposal of any non-contaminated top soil/turf not sold/donated around the village.

The Parish Council congratulated I&PUCC for the excellent work achieved in the past 12 months and wished them every success with their project.

It was further RESOLVED to make another application to Joe Houston at AVDC for the additional hire/purchase costs of £2,520 to see if the project how qualifies for S106 funding as additional wickets are being installed and participation of cricket levels will increase.

Following this agenda item, John Lowe and John Groom departed.

3)	Playground and Asset Inspection Issues
3.1	Cricket nets by the bus shelter
It was RESOLVED to obtain a quotation for permanent posts to hold ball stop netting to protect the bus shelter.
3.2	Fence by The Crescent

3.3	Seat at Glebe Close

3.7	Toddler swing on the Recreation Ground
It was RESOLVED to tape the split rubber in the first instance as this item is due for replacement.
3.8	Windsor Road Spring Mobiles and Gate
It was noted that the gate to the cycle path may need remedial work soon as it is sticking against the floor.  It was RESOLVED to infill the foot rest places by both the chicken and elephant toddler bouncers after the summer holidays (and perhaps once the top soil/turf is available from the cricket works at the recreation ground).

4)	Bucks Playing Field Association
It was RESOLVED to renew membership to this body at a cost of £20.00 for the forthcoming annum.

5)	Allotments
It was RESOLVED to write to John Hunt at National Trust in support of Pitstone Allotment Associations request to have both incinerators and sheds on the site, both of which are currently prohibited under the terms of the lease to the Parish Council.
