FINANCIAL REPORTS a) List of Cheques & Monthly Statement of Accounts To APPROVE the lists of payments which have been made up to the 30th June 2020 and NOTE the account balances at the end of the month - this list will be circulated prior to the Meeting 9. RAINBOW STONES The Clerk was approached by a number of local residents to set aside an area to place ‘Rainbow Stones’ as a permanent memorial to the NHS and other services and to remember those who had either passed away or been affected by the Covid 19 crisis. Details of how these stones have been used as a Memorial in other areas are attached at Appendix 3. Many young people painted these stones during the Covid-19 Crisis. Members are asked to CONSIDER how they would like to move forward in this matter. 10 a) ‘GOING FORWARD’ PARISH COUNCIL Following last month’s decision to work out of the Parish Hall from September 2020, subject to Government Guidance and where social distancing can easily be maintained, together with adequate cleaning and sanitising schedules being adhered to, the hall is being currently set up with some frontline services to ensure that we are able to open to the public, initially twice a week on a Monday and Friday between 9.15 and 12.30. This would be increased to include a Wednesday once we have reached Step 2 and with the appropriate R level being in place, as per the Government’s Document ‘OUR PLAN TO REBUILD the UK Government’s COVID-19 Recovery strategy’. Document attached Decision required NORTH WEALD BASSETT PARISH COUNCIL - 3 - Meeting: PARISH COUNCIL Date 6th July 2020 We could also look at including a Councillors Surgery once a month. We have ordered appropriate PPE, a Sanitising Station and arranged for the move of the photocopier, Fireproof Safe, and other such matters. It was understood that Essex County Councillors were give some funding to use specifically for Coronavirus implications and problems in their communities. In view of this the Clerk has asked if those Councillors would be willing to provide some funding from this fund to help set up this face to face service for residents. An extract of the copy of the request is attached at Appendix 4. A date that the Parish Council will be operational for this ‘face to face service for residents’ is still being worked on, but it is hoped to be the week commencing 14th September. The Government & HSE has reissued the 39 Steps for Offices/Contact Centre to re-open and these are currently being worked on by the Clerk and PFO to ensure that we can offer the face to face service safely. b) ‘GOING FORWARD’ PARISH COUNCIL ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT OF PC FUNCTIONS The Parish Council office staff currently employ a range of measures to manage some of the different functions of the Council, as follows: • Parish Council Accounts – Rialtas Omega Software • Parish Hall Bookings – Volunteer Booking Secretary, with manual records and reports • Assets – Excel Spreadsheet and Word • Allotments – Excel Spreadsheet • Cemetery – Hard copy Cemetery Books, hard copy files and Excel Spreadsheet As has become clear in lock down, in order to improve both efficiency and record keeping the Office Staff have had to look at the different software packages available to facilitate ‘one stop’ electronic records, along with how these could be managed and backed up. In addition, concerns have been raised by the internal auditor for the past few audits of the inadequacy of the current system for Parish Hall Bookings. The Council already uses Rialtas to manage its accounts, and the office staff have received a demonstration on the bespoke Rialtas software packages. Whilst some further investigation is needed to establish the best method of software hosting, the Clerk recommends the purchase of tailored software to manage the Cemetery, Allotments, and the Parish Hall bookings. After the demonstration, It is felt the purchase of the Asset management software would not add any particular value to the method currently used. The cost of the initial purchase of all three software packages would be £2,470 (one off cost), with some additional training costs, followed by a yearly annual support fee (dependent on what user licence is needed). Council is asked to CONSIDER the purchase of this software. c) ‘GOING FORWARD’ PARISH HALL AT THORNWOOD Members are advised that as of 4th July, the Government Guidance is that Halls may be able to re- open subject to the ‘R’ Rate being at an appropriate level. This Council is also Guided by RCCE / EALC who are sending over their interpretation of Government Guidance. As previously stated, the Clerk has contacted all the Hall users and it still seems highly unlikely that any of the usual groups will return before September. Further emails will be sent out this week asking for updates. The Caretaker continues to check the Hall on a regular basis and is to do additional jobs and to ensure that we are ready to open safely. Staff are continuing to review the Cleaning Schedules called ‘Restart For Hall & Caretaker’ and ‘Draft Cleaning Schedule’ (amendments may be necessary dependent on Government Guidance before any opening and changes to any Social Distancing) however these are the current appropriate Document attached Decision required NORTH WEALD BASSETT PARISH COUNCIL - 4 - Meeting: PARISH COUNCIL Date 6th July 2020 documents we will continue to work from in the absence of any others. A further set of paperwork will be sent to Members prior to the Hall opening once these are known to be the ones that we will be ‘Up and Ready To Run With’. d) GOING FORWARD - REPORTING OF ENVIRONMENTAL, HIGHWAY OR FLY TIPPING ISSUES Over the last few months the reporting of these issues is becoming increasingly more difficult, especially to Essex County Council, when the issue has not been resolved for a considerable time. We are not able to re-report or chase the matter on the website. The website clearly states that if the person reporting the issue believes there is a risk to health and safety they should call ECC Highways as a matter of urgency, if we try to do this we get told to report on the website – ‘it’s a catch 22 situation’ .

    North Weald Airfield – Strategic Masterplan Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 09.12.20 1. General 1.1 Strategic Masterplan The Strategic Masterplan is required by the draft Epping Forest Local Plan. The draft Local Plan identifies land at the airfield for an employment site. What is a Strategic Masterplan and why is one The Strategic Masterplan is not a planning application for being prepared for land at development of the land. It is a document that will guide future the airfield? development and inform future planning applications. It sets out a vision for development of the allocated site and ‘design parameters’ to guide how the development could be laid out. Future planning applications will need to be worked-up within these agreed parameters which will guide future decision-making. A Strategic Masterplan is a document that, once endorsed by Council, will carry planning weight in decision-making. 1.2 The Site Land to the east of the main runway within the North Weald Airfield boundary is included in the Strategic Masterplan. What land is included in the Strategic Masterplan? The land is owned by Epping Forest District Council. 1.3 Airfield Uses Policy P6 (O) in the emerging Epping Forest Local Plan requires that the North Weald Airfield Masterplan makes provision for the Will airfield uses continue at retention and expansion of aviation uses to the west of the main the site? runway. This is an objective of the Strategic Masterplan and airfield operations will not be impeded by the proposed employment development. 1.4 HMRC Customs Facility The HMRC facility is not expected to be in place when the masterplan development is operational.

    Police Aviation News August 2021 1 ©Police Aviation Research Issue 304 August 2021 Police Aviation News August 2021 2 EDITORIAL In the past I have pointed out that those you do not take heed of their past put themselves in danger of making the same mistakes again. It is daunting to see how often that advice is being ignored. In the past month the Editor has contacted several important organisations affected by the situation in Wakefield and have even directly complained to NPAS in an effort to overcome the ongoing air of secrecy surrounding their past and present operations. Time will tell whether this will have any positive outcome. Meanwhile the UK Home Office, and by default the Government of the day, seem to have a plan that pro- motes offshore police aviation rather than its own. The troubles at NPAS are way beyond money but, far from ensuring that resources are available for UK police aviation money continues to be exported to France to bolster their apparently inadequate reaction to stemming the ongoing wave of migrants boating their way to England. In addition to significant sums sent to France last November [which clearly failed to work] a sum of £55M has been set aside to boost French border activity, including air patrols, into the future. That is significantly more than it cost to run NPAS for a whole year. Not that I am advocating that money would in any way resolve the ‘Wakefield Problem.’ They would probably use it to buy a new hangar somewhere, anywhere. Bryn Elliott LAW ENFORCEMENT AUSTRALIA VICTORIA: A campaign to save “the first Victoria Police helicopter” has started after a news story started on News Channel 7.
