MATTERS ARISING ...

From the minutes of the meeting of 5 June 2003.

Parish Room
It was agreed that Mr Sharpe would organise a working party to tidy up outside the Parish Room. The filing cabinet used to store archived documents would be moved to the Village Hall when agreed with Mr Hoyle. It was decided not to make a new Parish Room sign.

Deeds to Village Hall

The Clerk explained the procedure to gain Adverse Possession for the Village Hall and stated that the costs would be approximately £150 to the Land Registry and up to £300 for solicitors to prepare paperwork. The Clerk had spoken to Mr Enderby from LALC who had provided the address of the Charities Commission who may be able to help. There had been some correspondence in 1979 with the then Clerk, Sheila Lyon, concerning the transfer of Deeds. It was agreed to pursue the information gathering process, in conjunction with the Village Hall Committee, and leave the application for Adverse Possession as a last resort.

Willoughby Pub Post Box

The Clerk stated that the new post box should be installed within a month as planning had been approved. The request for a large Pillar-Box had been unsuccessful.


PLANNING APPLICATIONS

The following applications were still ongoing with SKDC ...

Spires Developers - Residential Development, Old Station Yard

Mr Reeves - Grange Lane

Orange - telecommunications mast application withdrawn

The meeting approved the application by Mr Wilkinson.


FINANCES

The Clerk stated that the audit return had been sent to the Auditors following the period for public inspection.


GENERAL ITEMS


Highway

The Clerk went through the list of items to be undertaken by the local Highways Division following the walk-about on 2 April 2003. All of the items had been actioned or were on the list to be actioned in the short term. The Clerk was asked to request to extend the 30mph sign out of the village to take account of the new development at St Medards Close, and to have the footpath next to the Railway Bridge past the allotment cleaned. Action was also needed to tidy the riverbank, which was overgrown, and to de-silt the culvert under the railway line.


CORRESPONDENCE

The following correspondence was discussed: Capital Grant Aid, Members Code of Conduct, Minor Authority Representation


AOB

The meeting agreed that two more 30mph signs were needed to replace the ones that had been removed. The Clerk informed the meeting that Manthorpe had two spare ones. The Clerk would seek approval for the sale of the two signs.
