PRESENT: Councillor I C Bates – Chairman. Ms A Constantine - Huntingdonshire Regional College Dr D Cox - NHS Cambridgeshire Mrs J Farrow - Hunts Forum of Voluntary Organisations Chief Superintendent - Cambridgeshire M Gipp Constabulary Cllr Mrs J Meiklejohn - Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Association of Local Councils Cllr L W McGuire - Cambridgeshire County Council Mr J Orr - Environment Agency Mr T Roberts - Business Sector Mrs S Smith - Cambridgeshire PCT APOLOGIES: Apologies for absence from the meeting were submitted on behalf of Mrs C Black and Ms S Rodriguez-Jimenez. IN ATTENDANCE: Mrs P Harding and Mr A Speed - Cambridgeshire County Council. Dr P José and Mr D Monks, Ms C Deller and Mrs C Sides - Huntingdonshire District Council. 35. MINUTES The Minutes of the meeting of the Board held on 7th January 2009 were approved as a correct record and signed by the Chairman. 36. MEMBERS' INTERESTS No interests were declared. 37. STRATEGIC THEME: THE ENVIRONMENT (ENERGY AND WATER EFFICIENCY) Dr P José, Head of Environmental Management, Huntingdonshire 1 District Council and Mr J Orr, Environment Agency, gave a presentation to the Board on "The Environment, Water and Energy Efficiency in Huntingdonshire" (a copy of their accompanying powerpoint presentation is appended in the Minute Book). Several issues arose during the Board discussion which followed. In response to the suggestion that a number of environmental initiatives had proved controversial, Dr José replied that it was the objective of "Renewables East", the renewable energy agency for the East of England to generate a broad mix of renewable energy sources in the region which would address those issues that proved more sensitive than others. In terms of the impact on young people, the Board were informed of initiatives to promote eco-schools, for District Council staff to visit schools and the launch of a project to install a modest wind turbine in conjunction with St. Ivo School and Leisure Centre. The Board also was aware of a monthly feature in the Hunts Post on environment issues. Mention was made of the Environment Agency's approach to proposals for development on flood plain. Mr Orr confirmed that the Agency would now undertake a risk assessment of the impact of proposed development on any potential site in the floodplain rather than reject development altogether. Whilst the Agency would continue to work in partnership with other authorities, it was not in a position currently to commit additional resources to undertaking new work with partners. In questioning how the NHS could work in partnership with the Environment Agency, Mrs Smith suggested several areas which the Health and Wellbeing Thematic Group might consider including fuel poverty, active travel and access to good food and invited Mr Orr to make a presentation to a future meeting of that Group. The Chairman made reference to the District Council's decision to purchase two properties with the aim of turning these into "green show homes" to encourage, among other things, residents to be energy efficient. Having identified a number of opportunities this initiative could present in showcasing the work of the partnership - fire safety features, energy efficiency and security measures and home grown vegetables - the Chairman asked Members to forward any other ideas they might have directly to Dr José. In closing discussion, the Board selected "employment and young people" as they key issue to be discussed at the next meeting. 38. ECONOMIC DOWNTURN - LATEST INFORMATION A report by the Acting Head of People, Performance and Partnerships was submitted (a copy of which is appended in the Minute Book) which updated the Board on the impact of the economic downturn on Huntingdonshire residents, businesses and services. It was explained that the report would be considered by each thematic group during the next cycle and submitted to the Board with any proposals for intervention arising at Group meetings. In commending the report, Members suggested that it was important 2 to distinguish those issues that were attributable to the economic downturn and those that were not, to circulate the document to town and parish councils and to feature the contents through the District Council's magazine "District Wide". The Board discussed the number of positive initiatives which had arisen from the current economic circumstances and considered it essential to convey to the public strong optimistic messages about the innovative projects which had been launched as a result. The Board considered that a similar exercise in other Districts in the County could provide useful information and the Chairman undertook to raise this suggestion at the next meeting of "Cambridgeshire Together". 39. CAMBRIDGESHIRE TOGETHER: REVIEW OF PARTNERSHIPS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR GOVERNANCE As a report on this Item was not available for despatch with the Agenda, the business was withdrawn without discussion from the Board meeting. 40. CAMBRIDGESHIRE TOGETHER, THE PLACES SURVEY, LPSA, SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY STRATEGY - UPDATES (a) Cambridgeshire Together Councillor L W McGuire updated the Board on the activities of Cambridgeshire Together and specific mention was made of the launch of an LAA refresh and the introduction of new performance indicators relating to young people in employment and education and training, on economic prosperity and safer communities. (b) Place Survey The Board was informed of early results arising from "the place survey" a postal questionnaire about satisfaction with public services and community involvement run in partnership with the police, fire authority, NHS, County and other District Councils who make up Cambridgeshire Together. The Chairman reported that 88% of Huntingdonshire residents, the second highest in the County, had expressed satisfaction with their local area as a place to live. (c) LPSA It was noted that several projects under the LPSA were underway and that some funding had been released for the purpose.

  • Pidley-Cum-Fenton Community Plan
    Pidley-cum-Fenton Community Plan The plan's aim is to make the village a safer and more pleasant place for us to live and work and to strengthen the sense of community by making it more caring, communicative, supportive and welcoming to all. This can be achieved by ensuring that the parishioners are represented in the preparation of the plan and agree the plan before it is given to the Parish Council. 1 INTRODUCTION. Following the Village Questionnaire Meeting of 14th October 2015, the Parish Council at its meeting on 11 November 2015 delegated the task of creating the village plan to a Working Group of volunteers from different parts of Pidley and Fenton. This group was to be independent of the Parish Council and was to use the replies to the questionnaire as the source of the requirements of the parishioners. These requirements would be analysed, prioritised and a draft plan formulated bearing in mind the finances and resources available. Short, medium and long term goals could equate to requirements being achieved within one year, three years or five years. For each goal the plan will identify if the Parishioners, Parish Council, District Council or County Council need to be consulted before it could be actioned. The draft plan would then be presented to the parishioners for approval or amendment at an open meeting on the 27th April 2016 before the plan would be given to the Parish Council. With the joint boundary of the two settlements of Pidley and Fenton being one Parish with areas outside of the actual settlements, it was felt that a “Community Plan” would be a more appropriate title than 'Village Plan'.

  • GCOR 2018 09 25 from Warboys PC & WLAG To
    Appendix 4A Ms G Beasley, Chief Executive, Cambridgeshire County Council, Shire Hall, Castle Hill, Cambridge. CB3 0AP 25th September 2018 Dear Ms Beasley, REQUEST FOR REVIEW OF PLANNING DECISION H/5002/18/CW We are writing to you with regard to the following planning application - Application no. H/5002/18/CW Warboys Landfill Site, Puddock Hill, Warboys, Cambridgeshire - Construction of a heat and power plant comprising biomass energy from waste (fluidised bed combustion) facility and treatment of waste water by evaporation treatment plant and associated infrastructure comprising tank farm, combuster with 25 metre high chimney, process building, store building, office building, walking floor canopy, car park, fuel storage bays, fire water tank, conveyor, pipe gantry, diesel tank, control room, auxiliary plant skid, high voltage transformers. This application was approved at a meeting of the Planning Committee held on 6th September 2018 but we understand that planning permission has yet to be granted pending completion of a section 106 agreement with the applicants, Sycamore Planning Ltd. This application is extremely controversial, principally because of the nature of the processes proposed but also due to the history of Warboys Landfill Site and past failures by the County Council and the Environment Agency to require planning permission for hazardous landfill and to effectively monitor activities on site respectively. The current application attracted representations from 470 local residents, all but one of whom objected. Objections were submitted by Shailesh Vara MP, the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE), the parish councils of Warboys, Wistow and Pidley-cum- Fenton, the town councils of Ramsey and Chatteris, the British Horse Society, Warboys Community Primary School and Warboys Landfill Action Group.
