Matters arising from the minutes. none

Beech House - 22/03442/TPO - Crown reduce 1 no. Mature Purple Beech (T1) by 1.5 to 2 metres and remove deadwood approximately to 25 mm diameter in crown. Pending, however it was noted as the work required was of a safety nature, that planning permission was not required.
Defibrillator. Paul Ward reported that the defibrillator had been replaced with an updated version and is fully functional. One or two residents were not aware of its location, and for information, it is in the Old Phone box 2 doors south of the Pub.
Parish Walkabout 2022 - update There were 3 jobs that the Task force were to undertake;
digging back the soil off back of the path in front of stoneleigh Home approx 22m
Stain wooden bench at Seaton Ross end
Clean village nameplate at Seaton Ross end.
Items outside Task force remit, passed on to Highways;
Damage at bend opposite Mill Lane wasnt marked up for repair - highways commented it was now scheduled for repair.
Request for footpaths along length of road either side to be included in future slurry seal programme - on list for consideration.
Bielby in Bloom. Thanks given to the volunteers who maintain and create a wonderful display, Winter planting had been carried out and concern expressed that a budget was insufficient, GT confirmed it was included in overall budget approved at last meeting £150 x 2 =£300 total for year to include bulbs etc for spring 2023 it was thought this may not be sufficient for the amount of planting we have in the village now. To be raised at the next meeting.
Bielby Beck update. CE read out Neil Readmans update,; Work had been carried out by the normal contractor and paid for by the Environment Agency (EA). NR commented that the standard of work was somewhat less than previously probably because the EA have to be seen to be protecting endangered species. Also in an effort to slow down the flow during periods of high rainfall and cause subsequent issues downstream. NR let it be known that if anyone has questions, to contact him.
Speed limit in village. Several residents expressed concern at speeding through the village, particularly at the South end. Cllr Leo Hammond, in attendance, spoke about how diversions through the village from works on the A1079 were an issue for other villages too and that there is legislation that encourages contractors to make sure the diversions lasted for as little time as possible and that if they did extend beyond a reasonable time that payment could be claimed by parishes affected.
On measures within the village, there are 3 things that could be done;
Create a community speed watch - volunteers from the village would be trained to use and record speeders through the village with a camera - requires a minimum of 6 volunteers.
Physical measures including speed bumps or chicanes, experience from ERYC shows that these measures often create other hazards and quoted higher accident rates at Fangfoss when a chicane was installed. They are less enthusiastic about these.
Humber Community speed watch vans - these could be requested but we are at the mercy of their timetable and other commitments.
Dorothy Zottola asked about a weight restriction, LH commented that there are some already in place which forces traffic through other routes, Seaton Ross however had put up HGV Route signs to assist drivers to a suitable road. It was put to the room to seek volunteers for the community speedwatch, there were 5; Robert Zottola, Elizabeth Thompson, Tony Britton, Paul Ward and David Tyas.
LH said he would ask ERYC about HGV route signs.
Steve Ridsdale commented to LH about poor visibility for large vehicles near the SUMO junction
Consolidation of Village lands; CE is working on resolving where village lands were and is making progress.
Information board for the public bench area, Julie Tew gave an update on a new information panel for the Bench area, she has two quotes, one in excess of £2500. However, it was agreed that we apply for grant funding from the “Do it for East Yorkshire fund”.
JT is working with John Peel on the content of the sign and expects to incorporate history and information on the Mill, The Pub, School(s) Church and Methodist Chapel as well as incorporating a section of the 17th Century map of the village
Mill Lane – picnic bench. No update, it is assumed that with the departure of Susan Richardson, that the scheme will not continue.
Do it for East Yorks Fund. GT commented that the fund is still available and actually has increased its funding by another £150k. LH said it is available for further projects, as Bielby had already used the fund to create the bench and paving area opposite the church.
Memorial service and wreaths, Val Nolton had sourced 2 wreaths for the village, one to be placed at the memorial in the churchyard, the other to be placed at the memorial along the canal at the WW2 aircraft crash site. CE took the wreaths to give to Steve Smith to place. John Peel commented that both the Memorial and the arched gate are 100 years old this year, hence a service is to be held onSunday 13th September at 10.50 a.m. to mark the occasion and to remember those lost in conflict.
Storage of Village crockery, Val Nolton has carefully stored the 50 place setting village crockery for some years now, but is refurbishing the garage in which it is stored. So we are seeking anyone with some spare storage and is willing to be available to let it out and return it whenever it is used. It was also used as a reminder to let people know that the crockery is available for any villager to use, its a 50 place setting of Dinner plates, side plates, cups and saucers etc.
Councillor Leo Hammond addressed the meeting.He said how impressed he was with the attendance for such a small village.
He presented a short briefing on the£4m budget ERYC have for helping families and households through the cost of living crisis, about a taskforce established with £200k for food banks and community groups offering help to vulnerable families. Also a programme to upgrade several hundred social housing dwellings. If anyone is seeking help, he referred them to the ERYC website ( https://www.eastriding.gov.uk/cost-of-living-help-for-households/ ) or to contact him.
CE asked about a Public right of way (PROW) across the field from the canal bridge to the beck, LH said that if its not registered with ERYC then it is unlikely to be a PROW, however an application could be made if someone had the motivation and evidence of 20 years continued use. In the meantime please respect the landowners request not to use the shortcut however tempting it is to make a circular walk. It does cause damage and financial loss as crops are damaged and the ground is consolidated causing even worse drainage problems.
Meeting closed at 8.35pm
Graham Tew
Secretary to Bielby Parish Meeting
Are there any senior members of the village who would like to come to Stoneleigh one day a week for their meals and a day of activities. Please pass the message on to anyone who may not see this. Thanks.
Dale is hoping to host a day a week where you can come and have a hot meal, buffet style tea, hot drinks and company.
There will also be the opportunity to use the facilities - shower/bath, laundry.
Stoneleigh is always warm and if our elderly community can save on their bills we’d be happy to help.
It will probably be a Wednesday.
Thanks
Dale
Please let Dale know if you would like to go or if you know someone who you think would like to go. Thanks.
First of all we want to thank everyone for all the help and support given to us on the opening of the tearoom. We have revised the opening times so as from next week we will be closed Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. If there is anyone who could help us for 3 to 4 hours a day around 10.30 to 2.30 we would love to hear from. Either call in or text on 07495080802.
