Of Clocks and wild flowers
As you can see work on the clock faces in the Church is
complete. The final cost of this work was £2514.
May we, the PCC, take this opportunity to thank all who made
donations or supported our many fund raising events.
I am sure you agree it was worth all the hard work!
You may wonder why the centre section of the Church grounds
is not being cut.
This is because we are attempting to develop a wildflower
meadow. We started last year spreading hay, from an established wildflower
meadow, over the ground to allow seed to set and also scattered thousands of
Yellow Rattle seed.
Spring this year and seeds of wild flowers from the National
Trust collection were sown and throughout the year these plants have been
introduced into the area.
Among the varieties
are Ox-eyed Daisies, Foxgloves, Pink Campion, Red Clover, Corn cockle, Corn
flowers and poppies. These should, hopefully, become more established next
year.
In early September we will cut the grass down and let it lie
to allow seed to fall on the ground. After this has happened the hay will be
available to anyone willing to collect it for pet little etc.
Please check with Mike
Rogers in September when this will be ready for collection.
Mike has also mown a pathway through and set up a seat for
those wishing to have a wonder through and sit a while. Please feel free to
have a look, all we ask is you respect this is a Church Ground and avoid the
graves and remove any litter.
Thank you

Everingham
and Harswell Parish Council
Minutes of the meeting
held on 9.7.14 in the Village Hall, Everingham
1. Present: Councillors Tom Featherby
(Chairman); Marcia Call; Patricia Coole; and Alison Thompson. Clerk to the
Council Anthony Stocking.
2. Councillor Edward Pettifer was
absent and Councillors Bryn James and Rachel Glossop tendered their apologies.
3. Three residents were present: Chris
and Jane Berridge and Patrick Wilkinson
4. Councillors agreed the correctness
of the 14 May 2014 meeting’s minutes.
5. No Councillor declared a
pecuniary or non-pecuniary interest in any agenda item.
6. Everingham Wind Farm:
Since the May meeting more
facts have been found about the wind farm that may be erected on land between
Everingham and Harswell. Residents have formed an action group to oppose the
proposal and is gathering information for use should a planning application be
submitted. The group
has engaged an advisor who has experience in preparing submissions in support
of applications to erect commercial wind farms.
Three of its members
addressed the meeting in order to communicate their objectives and current
findings. Councillors received insight into the group’s investigations. The
group sought to identify the Parish Council’s stance respecting any planning
application.
TF stated that because three
Councillors were absent it was not feasible for an in-depth discussion to take
place using the information put forward by the Group. Such will take place in
September. No application has been submitted to ERYC yet and until the Council
is informed officially it is inappropriate for the Council to comment.
TF assured the representatives of
the Group that a decision will be taken in the light of the facts presented by
the developer and stated that the Council will welcome further information from
the Group.
The representatives emphasised that
the Group is not anti-wind farm per se but
their resistance is based on the premise that the position of the site is
inappropriate and too small for the proposed number of turbines.
7. Matters arising:
7.1
There
was nothing to discuss on the subject of heavy goods vehicle traffic through
the villages but the item will be on the next meeting’s agenda.
A speed survey taken
on 01 July between 15h30 and 17h00 by local PCSO Cundiff revealed that 75
vehicles passed through Everingham at an average speed of 28.1mph. Three cars
would have received a speeding ticket, with one travelling at 40mph.
AS will thank PCSO
Cundiff for his work and ask him to carry out a survey from 06h00 on a workday
morning.
No discussion took
place regarding involving the Community Partnership in attempts to reduce HGV
traffic through the villages and the matter will be carried over to the
September meeting.
7.2
The materials needed to renovate the telephone box have been received
and a provisional date for work to begin has been set by AT for early
September.

and/or a delay in payment.
