Below are the minutes of the meeting followed by a link to the Treasurer mid-year report.
Minutes
of the Bielby Parish Meeting
Monday 21st October 2019
at St.
Giles’s Church, Bielby, by courtesy of the Church Council.
Present: Chairman - Paul Ward. Treasurer - Ian
Ross. Secretary - Gabrielle Rose.
14 residents.
Paul thanked everyone for attending this
evening.
1. Apologies for
absence
received from Debbie and Tony Britton, Mary Milner, Jenny Ward.
2. Minutes of
last meeting held on 7th May 2019 were read out and adopted as a true and correct record. Proposed by
Graham Tew and seconded by Richard Coe.
3. Matters
arising from the minutes. There were no matters arising.
4.
Financial position. Ian Ross summarized his mid-year report.
·
The current mid-year financial position as of the 21st October 2019 is
£3,636.83, with an estimated balance at the financial year
end of £2546.43. A contingency fund of £1000 and a minimum of £1000 to carry
forward leaves £546.43 available to spend.
·
Ian confirmed that compliance with the
Annual Governance and Accountability Return framework had been met and that no
comments from local electors had been received.
·
The local precept demand is due and Ian
proposed that the rate should remain the same with no further increase for
2020-2021. Seconded by Graham Tew.
5.
Planning applications and outcomes since
last meeting. Applications received for erection of a
detached outbuilding containing additional living space and garage following
demolition of existing outbuilding and for erection of a dwelling (access to be
considered) at Bergundenau, Beech Tree Farm. Mr J Halley attended the meeting
to address any concerns/comments, in particular, regarding the beech tree at
the property. Tree experts had no concerns and none were raised at the meeting.
Paul thanked Mr Halley for attending the meeting and read out a note of support
from Mr C Emptage.
6.
Village marquee. Tents and a marquee are available for the use of Bielby residents.
Having been in the care of Richard Coe for many years, Dale Greenaway has
kindly agreed to store them at Stoneleigh. John Peel provided some very
interesting background into the purchase of the original village tent and the
village charity that provided the funds. Ian Ross suggested that a register of
use should be made and was happy to be a point of contact for enquiries from
residents. Several issues were raised including insurance, wear and tear,
damage and help required to erect them. Val Nolton added that also available are
crockery and cutlery for 50 settings which are currently being stored at their
home.
7.
Flood Plan. Ian Simpson raised his concerns regarding flooding in village. The last
incident was in 2007 when several properties were affected. The increase in
house building in Pocklington could increase the risk to Bielby. He suggested
that an Action Plan be put together. This could record areas that are at risk based
on past events and local knowledge of the drains, beck and canal. Several
residents agreed to gather information and report back. Further information will
go on the Blog.
8.
Drains and Sewers. Ian then made the meeting aware that sewage had recently been coming
out of the gullies on his property. Yorkshire Water were working at the pumping
station and told Ian that wet wipes had blocked the main sewer. Ian explained
to the meeting that as the main sewer runs from Everingham across the fields to
the south of Bielby then up the main road to the pumping station, he requested
that Everingham Parish Council be contacted about the issue. Paul agreed to
contact their Chairman.
9.
Defibrillator training. Paul has been made aware of an offer of a free training session for up
to 12 people. Paul agreed to follow this up. Further information will go on the
Blog.
10. Village Taskforce Walkabout update. The walkabout took place during the summer and Paul went through the
list of works that had been scheduled.
There was confirmation that some work had already been completed. Graham
Tew asked if the gullies had been cleared, this is a Highways issue and the
gully near the post box on Gale Carr Lane was full. Paul said he would make
enquires.
11. VE Day 75. 8th to 10th May 2020. Paul read out the planned events (to include Bell ringing and Pipers)
that would take place nationally over the Bank Holiday weekend commencing on
Friday 8th May 2020. The meeting agreed that the village should
organise something and further information will go on the Blog.
12. Humber and Wolds Rural Action membership. The village has received an
invitation to join this organisation at an annual cost of £25. The meeting
suggested that the information should go on the Blog for comments from
residents.
13. Bielby beck update. Neil Readman was not present to update
the meeting. Paul observed that the beck appeared to be clear. He said that
some concerns had been raised but had been addressed by the contractor. Steve
Ridsdale and the Drainage Board had done some clearing. It was suggested that
the Environment Agency be contacted regarding responsibility for clearing the
beck. The Treasurer commented that it is the single largest item of expenditure
annually. Paul agreed to discuss this with Neil.
14. Bielby Newsletter. Sue Richardson was not present to give an
update. The meeting agreed that having a paper copy of local news was a good
idea for those residents who did not have access to the Internet. Richard
suggested that the Sunday services could be included. Val was disappointed that
the annual Duck Race taking place this weekend had not been included. Paul will
speak with Sue.
Steve Ridsdale had some information about
the Blog. Due to a support issue with the Blog’s email provider, anyone
subscribing recently to the Blog was not receiving the Blog posts by email. A
no cost replacement provider was being sought.
15. Bielby in bloom. Expenditure of up to £50 for winter plants
and spring bulbs was suggested. Proposed by Graham Tew seconded by Val Nolton.
16. Remembrance service. There would be no church service this
year but there will be a gathering at the memorial at the canal. Meet outside
the church at 10.45
17. Carol singing. Wednesday 18th December 6pm,
meet outside Stoneleigh Care Home. The meeting agreed to donate the funds
raised to a local charity - York Against Cancer.
18. Christmas meal. About 39 people will be attending this
year. The meeting thanked Jenny Ward for organising it this year but she is
looking for someone else to take over for next year.
19. Any other business.
·
East Riding of Yorkshire Council Code of
Conduct. The document was received after the agenda had been set. Paul Ward
requested that the Code be adopted. The meeting agreed.
·
Ian Simpson requested that the cost of
Insurance and Toilets (up to a maximum of £500) for the 2020 Festival be
underwritten by the Parish Meeting. Proposed by Steve Ridsdale seconded by
Margaret Wilkinson.
·
Christmas Walk is arranged for 29th
December, destination North Newbald unless another route is suggested. More
Information will be on the Blog.
·
Several vehicles are blocking the footpath
on Gale Carr Lane. It is illegal to park on a footpath and the police should be
contacted if necessary. Vehicles on grass verges may be a council issue.
There was no other business and the
meeting closed at 9.10pm

Use Of Wet Wipes & Toilets
An issue came up at the Parish meeting on Tuesday about sewage coming up through the gullies in to the street.
Yorkshire water say this is caused primarily by wet wipes being put in to the system.
Could people kindly refrain from putting wet wipes down the toilet but to dispose of them in the bin as they do not dissolve and eventually block the system up.
This is not just inconvenient but is a potential health hazard. Thank you.

Number Of Break Ins In The Area
This was on the Melbourne Facebook page yesterday. ALERT!
There have been 4 residential burglaries reported in the last 5 days, at Pocklington, Barmby Moor, Seaton Ross and Market Weighton and a further attempted break in at Allerthorpe, where damage was caused to a rear patio door lock.
There have been 4 residential burglaries reported in the last 5 days, at Pocklington, Barmby Moor, Seaton Ross and Market Weighton and a further attempted break in at Allerthorpe, where damage was caused to a rear patio door lock.
Often when residents are away on holiday, the reported MO is that rear doors are being smashed to gain entry and an untidy search being carried out with jewellery being stolen.
If you are going away from home then consider crime prevention measures such as ensuring valuables are kept out of sight and somewhere secure, asking a friend / neighbour you know and trust to house sit, or conduct regulars visits to check on your property for you.
If you notice any suspicious activity in your area please contact Humberside Police Non-Emergency number 101 or 999 if a crime is in progress. Thank you.
I also know of another break in in the Melbourne/Ellerton area where tools and bikes were taken, so please be vigilant and safety conscious.
Halloween Pumpkin Carving At Stoneleigh Tuesday 29th October 2-4pm
Dale is going to do another Halloween pumpkin carving event like last year, which was a brilliant afternoon.
So Dale is inviting any children of Bielby who would like to come to Stoneleigh on Tuesday 29th October at 2pm till 4pm to come and carve a pumpkin.
Dale thought the children might come in Halloween costumes, and Dale will hollow out the pumpkins so they’re ready to carve when the children arrive. They'll put on a Halloween tea. There will be a boy and girl prize for the younger children and a boy and girl prize for the older children.
It was a brilliant afternoon last year and all the children, parents, grandparents and residents had a lovely time all together. Thanks Dale and the Stoneleigh team for asking us back again, we can't wait to pop over for some Halloween fun.
Let me or Dale know you are coming so Dale can organise Pumpkins. Thanks.
