1045 DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST
None.
1046 QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC
1046.1 Riseley Resident – I have some questions regarding the Cala Homes site in Riseley; what the position regarding the road from the site onto the Basingstoke Road; what can be done about the condition of the Devil’s Highway footpath and pedestrian crossing which has been removed at the Odiham Road end.
Clerk – I have been in contact with the various authorities involved regarding these issues. See items 1048.1.1, 1048.1.2 and 1048.2.1 in these minutes.
1046.2 Riseley Resident – I would like to report that some cars are driving over The Green instead of waiting to turn left onto the Basingstoke Road from the Odiham Road. Some cars are also turning into the cul-de-sac then driving over the raised paving to join the Basingstoke Road, both are putting pedestrians at risk.
Cllr. Anderson – do you have any photographic evidence, if possible, you should report incidents to the police.
Clerk – in 2015 the short post and rail fence preventing this was demolished by a lorry, the Parks Team at Wokingham Borough Council (WBC) replaced it with some short sturdy posts which have gradually been knocked over. At the time Highways, WBC would not commit to improve the kerbing along the green.
Cllr. McDonald – I will bring this up at the Fields NAG meeting tomorrow. 1 2
1046.3 Riseley Resident is anything which the Parish Council can do to help tackle the issue of speed in Riseley.
Cllr. Wheelwright – we are going to borrow some speed monitoring equipment from a neighbouring parish with the intention of capturing vehicle speed data around the parish. Once we have analysed the data we will work with WBC and Thames Valley Police on

1048 CLERKS REPORT
1048.1 Update on items from previous meetings
1048.1.1 1016.2 Road access to the Cala Homes site on the Basingstoke Road – it was NOTED that Hart District Council had confirmed that permission was granted for this temporary access. It would be closed up once work is complete.
1048.1.2 1016.2 Footpath 501 (The Devil’s Highway) – it was NOTED that the Northern Countryside Access Team of Hampshire Country Council had inspected the footpath and did not believe it posed a Health and Safety risk, however, the diversion is temporary and the original line of the footpath would be restored once development had been completed.
1048.1.3 1016.3 Missing signage in Riseley – it was NOTED that Cala Homes had now located the missing “Welcome to Riseley” sign and it would be replaced shortly.
1048.1.4 1040.1 Riseley Common Board Walk – it was NOTED that the Clerk was investigating options for installing a board saying “Welcome to The Marsh Local Nature Reserve” ideally made out of recycled plastic. Indications are that such sign would cost approx. £300 plus VAT.
It was NOTED that the Riseley Commoners would hold a Working Party on Saturday 14th September to clear the path from School Road to School Lane. 5

5. Re- grass the area with hard wearing grass which requires little or no watering or provide some other ground cover of choice 6. Put Foxes Run on a maintenance schedule (tasks to be defined). 1048.2 Other Items
1048.2.1 Odiham Road – it was NOTED that Cala Homes had removed the pedestrian island/refuge outside the village hall. This was installed by WBC in 2005/2006 to provide a safe crossing point for pedestrians using the village hall / recreation ground and to help prevent cars racing down the Odiham Road. The outline planning application indicated that this island would be retained and upgraded to facilitate pedestrians crossing and associated dropped kerbs and tactile paving would be installed. However, during the process of granting approval of the details the current plan shows no island, just red surfacing with 30 painted on it. The Clerk has written to Wokingham Borough Council (WBC) asking whether they gave permission for this change, given that WBC spent approximately £60K installing the island. 6
1048.2.2 Riseley Recreation Ground, paving slab – it was NOTED that a resident had reported a broken paving slab on the path by the Tea Room at Riseley. The slab had been repaired but would be monitored and replaced if necessary. 7
1048.2.3 Swallowfield Recreation Ground, wooded area – it was NOTED that a significant amount of broken glass was found in the wooded area, including beer bottles which appear to have been left in a position which would cause injury to anyone walking over it. It has been cleared and the site would be monitored. 8
1048.2.4 Church Road – it was NOTED that the mud encroaching onto the pavement along Church Road from the village down to the church had been hand cleared by WBC. Many thanks to Mr. Drew, Mrs. Cleaver and our Localities Officer Ricky Josey for their perseverance to ensure this work was carried out. 9
1048.2.5 Pond at Handpost Corner – it was NOTED that our Localities Officer at WBC had investigated this piece of land and reported:
“The area all around the pond is adopted highway to the rear of the pond measured off the mapping system it is approx. 1.3m. I believe that the highway drainage runs into it (but this does not automatically make it a highway asset). I have always been of the belief that if the pond abuts the adjacent land then it is the landowner’s responsibility. The adopted highway and pond area are shown on Land Registry as unregistered. In my opinion this pond is definitely not Highways responsibility.” 10
1048.2.6 Waste Collections – it was NOTED that the council currently employs five different contractors/individuals to dispose of the various waste generated by the public. It was AGREED that the Clerk would investigate bringing this under one contract. In the short- term she would look at entering into a short-term contract to relieve our Parish Warden of

the responsibility for emptying bins containing dog waste. 11
1048.2.7 Buildings Maintenance – it was NOTED that the council currently employs seven different contractors/individuals to carry out various services/annual checks. It was AGREED that the Clerk would investigate reducing this number. 12

Swallowfield Parish Council Meeting, Agenda Tuesday 10th September 2019
1049.6 Consultations
1049.6.1 Adoption of new infrastructure – Wokingham Borough Council is to examine the process for adopting new roads, open spaces, landscaping and play areas following the completion of new housing developments. It will examine the legal, planning and technical framework relating to the adoption process and will look at examples of best practice. It will also examine the way in which residents are informed and updated.
The council has experience of a site which has not been adopted by the borough council, The Pippins (37 homes) developed by Bellway Homes. Residents and non-residents of such sites are often confused about what rights each has.
• Open Space: who has a right to walk on the open space? In this instance Bellway confirmed that a condition of planning permission was public access to the open space, however, the residents are not aware and given that they are paying for its maintenance feel they have a right to ask non-residents to leave. This causes bad feeling and splits the community.
• Management Fee: Residents pay an annual management fee, but many are not clear what that covers or that they may be responsible for damage to any facilities on the site.
• Flood attenuation features: At The Pippins maintenance of flood attenuation features is critical for the village, e.g. balancing pond and filter drains which run across the end of some gardens, these must be cleared periodically, as a Parish Council it is not easy for us to establish what is being done.
• Affordable Housing: The council also understands that the affordable houses built on this site, a few houses on a cul-de-sac called Scarlet Mews, are not part of the management agreement, again this causes confusion and bad feeling, e.g. who maintains the road outside those houses, can those residents park on The Pippins. At the time the roads were named Swallowfield Council was only told there would be one road, not two.
• Road condition: It is the council’s understanding that the roads on unadopted sites may not be laid to such a high standard as required by the local authority.
• Parking: There are arguments about who can park where.
Swallowfield Parish Council would like to understand how decisions are made regarding adoption, does the borough council have any influence or is the decision down to developer preference. What mitigation is in place if the management company appointed to look after the site does not fulfil its obligations, ceases to trade or does not have the funds to effect necessary repairs. Who monitors the effectiveness of those management companies?
Swallowfield Council would ask that Wokingham Borough Council adopts the appropriate infrastructure on all sites avoid creating split communities and a two-tiered system.
It was PROPOSED and seconded that Swallowfield Parish Council would responded as detailed above. All in favour. 13

1051.1 Accounts
1051.1.1 Month End Accounts – it was NOTED that the Month End Accounts had been circulated. Cllr. Anderson explained that the budget had not included a line item for the retention payment for Fieldfare so the final payment had been allocated to a maintenance line which distorted the budget. The money for the retention payment was in the Fielffare account and should have been included in the budget. This would be discussed at the Finance Working Group meeting and corrected before the next meeting. 16 It was PROPOSED and seconded that the accounts were accepted. All in favour.
1051.1.2 Bank Reconciliation Statements – it was PROPOSED and seconded that the Bank Reconciliation Statements be signed. All in favour. 17
1051.2 External Audit – it was NOTED that the external auditor, PKF Littlejohn LLP, had signed off the council’s Annual Return with no comments. As required, the conclusion of Audit Notice had been completed and together with the Annual Governance Statement had been posted on the council’s website.
1051.3 Internal Auditor – it was PROPOSED and seconded that Claire Connell be appointed as internal auditor for the year ending 31st March 2020 at a cost of £620. All in favour. 18

Anderson, the one for the Sports Pavilion had been reviewed by a representative of the Tennis Club. There were no issues of immediate concern, but the council would need to consider upgrading access for the main hall door and Davies Room. It would also need to review the fire alarm system and consider the necessity for manual alarms (push button/break glass types). An action plan would be drawn up. 23
