Traffic liaison speed awareness in the village took place outside the school which is not the best place, also CREST has been in Dale Abbey and resident asked why this can’t happen in Stanton by Dale. Cllr Harvey confirmed this would be happening within the week. The June issue of the Ilkeston paper printed that the Ilkeston/Hallam area has plans for 700 houses. Cllr Wayne replied that the Core Strategy is coming to an end and there were 2000 planned for Stanton Ironworks and this is looking un-deliverable, so other areas are being looked at. The Core Strategy is being renewed for the Greater Nottingham area and there is a housing target from national government and Erewash will get a housing target and will have to look where they can put the houses. It has a 25-year span and the first five years are most important and will need to be deliverable. EBC will do as much as they can to preserve the environment. The Brick yard near Kirk Hallam is also contaminated and likely to be developed. The new vicar, Phil was welcomed to village and to the meeting. Resident is concerned about parking on the pavement on Main Street as his wife is visually impaired and this is a problem. Council to look at taking the matter up at a higher level. Police – No incidents sent but only two weeks since last meeting. DCC – Council Plan has been published with DCC priorities. Action Grants are available for community groups and details are on the DCC website On 15th July at 6.00 there is a meeting at Long Eaton Police Station for anyone interested in Community Speed Watch.

Cllr Harvey has contacted DCC and the police and has been trying to arrange for CREST to do a survey. There has been a speed check in the village. CREST will install 2 traffic survey units between the Church and car park and a second on school Lane and they will be there for about a week and will measure speed, numbers and weight. Cllr Harvey suggested to delay the Village Entrance Gates until after the survey. He suggested that we need a cohesive idea to get sorted and he favours the Hamilton Bailie approach. Parish Councils work in isolation and Hamilton Bailie looked at the three villages, Stanton by Dale, Dale Abbey and Risley and the way forward is to work with the other local Parish Councils and re-educate Derbyshire Highways. A larger group will encourage them to take more notice. Clerk to invite two Cllrs from each Council and Sandiacre PC to meet with Steve Birkinshaw (EBC) in August.

Chair to look at the content and ask other Councillors for input. 128/2019 Establishing a wider rapport with village residents. Councillors have already talked about fund raising and social events in Village Hall. It was felt that residents don’t understand Parish Councils and they only attend meetings when there is a major problem. We need to build on the fact that 50% of residents voted at the last election.
