Rural Sounding Board

The Parish Council has received this email regarding the rural sounding board.

The Rural Sounding Board was established as a way of gathering Councillors opinion on a range of topics.  It has two separate Boards, one for Local Authority Councillors (one per member authority) and one for Parish Councillors (one per Parish Council as part of the Rural Services Community). 

This information will be used to inform our research and enable Councillors to share their views on key issues affecting their local area.
 
The first survey was on The Impact of Austerity Measures on Local Services.
 
The results of this survey were presented at the recent AGM in London on 17th November.
They can be accessed at this webpage:
 
Rural Sounding Board
The Rural Sounding Board will gather views and opinions of rural Local Authority Councillors and Parish Councillors across England and will use the re...
The second survey for the Rural Sounding Board will be taking place early next year.

Fireworks

I have had a comment left on the website asking if we could just ask if any one is letting off fireworks other than on bonfire night if they could let their neighbours and those they know who have pets that they will be letting off fireworks on a particular night, as animals can get frightened and distressed by the noise of the fireworks. The person didn't leave their name but just thought I would pass on the reminder.

Information Re Flooding

Someone kindly sent Richard Watts an email about the flooding, however Richard deleted it by mistake before he read it, so just wondered if the person would you be kind enough to send it again. kind regards and Richard says sorry about that!

Bernard Whatling
I would like to thank everyone who attended Bernard’s funeral and all those who took the time to send cards and letters to me and my family. We feel we’ve had a lot of arms around us, helping us through a very difficult time.
I would also like to thank Mike for keeping everything tidy and those who made the church look so beautiful. Thank you all it is appreciated.
Diane Whatling and family.

From the village.
Sadly Bernard passed away on Sunday, 12th October. He was a familiar figure on his mobility scooter around and about the village, with Polly, his little dog keeping him company on the step. He was born in Thornton and became a builder. Bernard worked for John Layton of Bielby before setting up his own business. He was well known for his woodcraft work, producing everything from pincushion holders made from local wood to copying a farmhouse porch from an old photograph.
The Whatlings moved to Rose Cottage in the late 1970s. Bernard served on the Parish Council for many years and was a mine of local information.
Everybody will miss him and our thoughts are with Diane and family.

Supporting the performing arts - begging bowl time!
Next year Melbourne Community Primary School's drama group (the M&M Club) will be performing Bugsy Malone. The cost to the school is immense what with the licence, costumes and props and so they ask well-wishers if they would like to become a patron or a sponsor of the club. As a patron, following a donation to the drama group, your name will be published in the programme. (If you so wish) Or you might like to become a sponsor of the Club whereby following a donation to Club funds, your company would be advertised in the programme. 
If you fancy supporting Everingham's youngsters who attend M&M (Melbourne & Music) Club, please contact the school on melbournecommunity.primary@eastriding.gov.uk. Even the smallest donation will be very gratefully received or if you want any more information, give me a ring.  
Many thanks.

More details to follow, from Sally.


Everingham and Harswell Parish Council
Minutes of the meeting held on 10 September 2014 in the Village Hall, Everingham.
  1. Present: Councillors Tom Featherby (Chairman); Marcia Call; Patricia Coole; Rachel Glossop; Bryn James; Edward Pettifer; and Alison Thompson.
Clerk to the Council: Anthony Stocking.
  1. Councillors agreed the correctness of the 09 July 2014 meeting’s minutes.
  2. No Councillor declared a pecuniary or non-pecuniary interest in any agenda item.
  3. Matters arising:
    1. The committee monitoring progress of the Everingham Wind Farm application has discussed with Councillors the means of maintaining a dialogue so that each party is aware of events. The committee agreed to keep the Council informed of events via the normal channel. No application is yet available. TF emphasised that the Council will discuss the matter when ERYC has issued a formal planning application. Then Councillors will take a decision based on the facts and consider the electorate’s views.
    2. TF has learned that the contract to transport some 52000 tonnes of recyclable waste has not gone to Kemps of Seaton Ross. This should reduce the HGV traffic through the village by three movements daily. It is possible that Hargreaves will continue to use the Seaton Ross facility.
AS made a request for local PCSO Cundiff to undertake a further speed survey. His report of the initial survey gave the following information:
“The total amount of traffic that passed through the village as 75 vehicles between 15:30 & 17:00. Total Speed 2102 MPH divided by 75.  Average speed 28.1 MPH. Total number of cars that would have received a speeding ticket  3. The highest speed was 40Mph. 1 in 25 cars found to be speeding this equates to 4 % were speeding. Speed board was used to collate the speeds of vehicles passing through the village, This device is not as accurate as the Pro Laser.”
No discussion took place regarding involving the Community Partnership to reduce HGV traffic through the villages and the matter will be on the agenda of the November meeting.
    1. Renovation and painting of the telephone box is complete. The Council recorded appreciation to members of the Thompson family for their work.
    2. The telephone box has become available for adoption once again. BT has not finalised the procedure to do so and there is some confusion at BT as to the means of doing so. It appears that should a Parish Council agree to the removal of the equipment then adoption and retention of the box will be a formality. AS has contacted ERYC and awaits confirmation of the procedure.
    3. AS will learn of the extent of cover for damage to or claims from incidents concerning the ‘bus shelter.
    4. No action has taken place regarding ascertaining the location and direction of culverts in Everingham. However, TF continues to liaise with Rob Brown at ERYC Highways Department
    5. One bridge along pathway 8 has received attention but a second requires renovation. RG has contacted Lesley Whitehead.
    6. MC will contact Jim McGivern regarding the completion of the work by Streetscene operatives and report to the November meeting.  
    7. The redundant power pole on Thorpe le Street Road is still in place. AS requested a response from Northern PowerGrid regarding the unsightly replacement.
    8. ERYC Lighting Department has replied to the query about the cost of work on the lamp standards. It is not possible to defer payment outside this fiscal year but a request for assistance can be made to ERYC Finance department.
    9. No details of defibrillators at Brandesburton or Melbourne are available from the respective Council clerks. AS has circulated information to Councillors on two sources and the subject will be on the agenda of the November meeting.
  1. Emergency Plan:
    1. BJ has informed HEPS of the Council’s plan. RG is now the co-ordinator of the Emergency Committee.
  2. Finance:
    1. AS submitted the up-to-date accounts. MC proposed and PC seconded a motion for their approval. This was given unanimously and they were signed by TF. The balance of £5405.74 agrees with the bank statement.
    2. The External Auditor has approved the accounts.
  3. Planning:
    1. The investigation of the building in the grounds of Elleker House continues.
    2. The Everingham Stud is compliant with the terms of its planning approval.

    1. July and August bank statements.
    2. Confirmation of receipt of a request for information on the redundant power pole and the installed replacement.
    3. Joining a Rural Sounding Board sponsored by Rural Services Network.
    4. Market Weighton Community Council minutes and agenda.
    5. Proposed replacement of lighting pole brackets and lighting upgrades.
  5. Business:
    1. There was none.
  6. Items for inclusion on agenda of next meeting:

  1. Date of next meeting:

Information About Flooding

I have received an email from Richard Watts who said, "I am in the process of buying a property in Crudhall Lane, my family and I have been really looking forward to this move. However our survey says this is a flood risk area. Can anyone tell us of any history of flooding problems and or how well the beck and rivers are maintained/flood defences. Thanks for your help."
