Apologies were received from Lt Col Brain, Cllr Warwick, PCSO Hagger

19/049 DECLARATION OF INTERESTS

Cllr Selby declared an interest in relation to the Village Hall.

The Chairman suspended Standing Orders.

19/050 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION

A resident spoke about the article in the West Dever News about affordable housing. She asked why the Parish Council were supporting affordable housing when there are properties available in the village. Cllr Peal responded to explain that the affordable housing would be smaller houses and went on further to say that HASTOE do build one bed houses e.g. at Icklesham Community Land Trust and agreed to write back to the resident.

A resident spoke about the new cycle scheme to and the width of the path only being 2 metres which is the same as and may cause pedestrians to wander onto it. Why it is not proposed to be 3 metres? Also, it is understood that school has no more year 5 spaces? He also went on to question the accuracy of the speed detection unit.

P a g e | 2654

Cllr Dodson responded to say that the SDU has been tested and the calibration is 2 mph and to remember it is an aid to try and keep people within 30 miles ph. It has been well supported by the village and does have a good impact. It only shows a display up to 45mph.

19/051 Reports from Local Councillors, MOD and Police

Cllr Warwick explained that there will be a cycle path consultation at the beginning of the autumn. Clerk will liaise with her to agree a day on which this can be held at the pavilion. There are also two consultations out for response, which are M3/A34 and Balancing the Budget.

Cllr Horrill gave an update from Winchester City Council which included:-  Chesil Lodge had won an award for an outstanding building;  There is a current agreed budget for the park;  The latest round of SHELAA shows that Planning has yet to agree the target of 1100 houses by 2036, which is why it is important to look at what land is available in our .

Cllr Godfrey gave a further update from Winchester City Council which included:-  Ongoing problems with local bin collections. Biffa have said that it was caused by road closures and the Hat Fair. If your bin has not been collected you should email via the Winchester City Council website, phone or contact Cllr Godfrey. It should be noted that the Biffa Contract is due to come to an end;  The Movement Strategy and impact on Andover Road. Cala Homes need to make decision by the end of October;  Proposed widening of Alresford Drove ( the first 100 metres from West Hill Road North.) Cllr Dodson suggested any pedestrian path could be the other side of the hedge as this would stop people parking on it.

PCSO Bruce Hagger was unable to attend the meeting but submitted the following report. As promised please find attached the Crime Report. Most of the Report is for May & June and the figures at the end are from April through to June.

I have been as detailed as I can with the report. Due to data protection/people’s privacy I can’t put any more info in. I am sure you understand. Either way I hope the numbers offer some reassurance that South Wonston is still a very safe place to live. Interestingly I didn’t see any reports of shed breaks/ burglaries etc.

If you get any questions from the meetings, feel free to run them past me and I will answer as best I can. Any concerns with the report itself, let me know and I will get back to you when I am back to work on Monday,

South Wonston Crime Report (May & June)

P a g e | 2655

Incidents of Note: 1) Theft from Vehicle (25/04/19) – Works van broken into and a large quantity of tools taken – Downs Road. 2) Theft from Vehicle (26/04/19) – Catalytic converter stolen from vehicle – Wrights Close 3) Drug Offences (10/05/19) – Driver stopped and further arrested for driving while under the influence of Cannabis. (West Hill Road North) 4) Shoplifting (15/06/19) – 5 unknown persons have entered store and stolen a quantity of items (Downs Road)

Other Incidents: 1) In the morning of the 22/06/19 at approx. 02:40 2 suspects have made of from Police along Orchard Road. The vehicle and persons are believed to be involved in a crime out of area and are not local to South Wonston. 2) A Blue Van has been sighted a number of times in recent months around South Wonston, I have been told this has circulated on Facebook and has been reported previously to Police. If sighted, call 101/999 situation depending.

Our Priorities 1) Currently we seeing a large increase in Theft from Motor Vehicle offences. There has been a large amount of Registration Plates stolen in the area as well as vehicles being broken into and items stolen. Largely vehicles will be parked in beauty spot car parks and will have items on display. We believe there are two separate groups (not connected) that are committing these offences. Firstly an old style Silver BMW has been sighted a number of times always showing different Registration Plates (stolen vehicle and stolen plates). Secondly A Red VW Transporter Van, has been sighted around to take Registration Plates from numerous vehicles. If either of these vehicles are sighted and you have reason to believe they are of Police interest then Please call 101/999.

2) Drug Offences – Over the last year we have proactively been developing a picture around drug use & drug dealing around the whole of the Winchester Rural area. Although very little has come to light in South Wonston we are still pursuing a number of different vehicles/persons that could be/are involved in dealing/using/drug driving. If people have suspicions of drug use taking place, again, can this be called in to 101/999 situation depending.

Lastly, I would like to emphasise the importance of calling the Police to make a formal report. We are a team of 5 that cover the Winchester Rural Area. This stretches of Alresford, up to Micheldever & and then down to and . There are probably 30+ Local Facebook groups in that area that are all active and talking about the goings on in their community. We cannot and do not monitor all of them. Simply talking about something on Facebook will not reach us and therefore we will not be able to take any action. We understand that 101 can be frustrating and take a long time to get through, but it is a case of us

P a g e | 2656

knowing or not knowing. There is also an online reporting system which can be used.

Crime Numbers: Vehicle Crime: 2 Criminal Damage/Arson: 0 Theft: 1 Other Theft: 1 Drug Offences: 1 Anti- Social Behaviour: 3 Fraud: 1

(This is for a three month period April – end of June.)

Jo Brain sent in the following update from Worthy Down which included:-  That the building work has been completed slightly ahead of schedule thanks to the mild winter and the dry weather. They are expecting to take over the new buildings that form part of Tranche 2, between September and December this year. This includes accommodation, the new Messes, the gym and the medical centre.  Permanent staff contingent will gradually increase from October this year and the student population will increase to our expected full capacity by April 2020.

The Chairman resumed standing orders.

18/02432/FUL Land Adjacent to 2 Alresford Drove South Wonston SO21 3HW. Application for hardcore entrance onto the land for access. Current. The surveys of May 2016 and February 2018 show the daily volume of traffic on Alresford Drove remained substantially the same, so the situation regarding numbers and road safety issues remains the same, so the Parish Council should still object. Additionally, the hedgerow was removed along the carriageway making visibility to the east at present adequate, but it is not clear that the land is in the applicant’s control and that adequate visibility can be maintained to the east. Visibility is definitely restricted to the west. While vehicles may be slower than 30mph, visibility is so substandard it could be detrimental to highway safety and continued use represents danger and inconvenience to other users (HCC Highways Development Planning 24-06-2019).

That the decisions be noted.

- Enforcements

An update on the open cases has been received from Enforcements and is an appendix at the end including:-  Jazzmyn Fields still awaiting a visit from enforcement;  Route 34 is being monitored due to the number of days that they are using the track. Parish Council have now taken a lead on this. Planning permission allows one Sunday per calendar month. Permitted Development Rights allow 28 days per calendar year, of which 14 can be used for racing, therefore no breach of planning has occurred. Cllr Porter will ask for a full review. The business is apparently changing hands.

- Appeals – None at present

- Affordable Housing

Cllr Peal to give an update and attended the below event NATIONAL RURAL HOUSING WEEK EVENT IN WONSTON PARISH 04- 07-2019

This event was hosted by Debbie Rhodes, Winchester City Council’s Housing Department and Strategy Manager, Lucy Dowson, Chairman of Wonston Parish Council and Jess Bond, formerly of Parish Council and now an “Affordable Homes Champion”. Debbie Rhodes outlined the role and partners of HARAH (Hampshire Alliance for Rural Affordable Housing) and its vision to make rural communities sustainable by providing a supply of rural housing. The members of the Alliance are Action Hampshire, Hart, New Forest, Test Valley and Winchester Local Authorities, the Homes and Communities Agency, , New Forest National Park Authority, South Downs National Park Authority and Hampshire Village Homes, a consortium of five housing providers experienced in the development of rural affordable housing on exception sites. Hastoe Housing Association is the chief member. By building rural affordable homes, local people are enabled to stay in or return to their communities and support local facilities, ensuring their future. Debbie referred to Harding Close, a recent development of fifteen new affordable homes in Sutton Scotney, which arrived at completion via the support of the Parish Council, the identification of local need, community support and co-operation with HARAH’s former partner Hyde Housing Association and the sale of the land by Hampshire County Council. The next speaker was Lucy Dowson, Chairman of Wonston Parish Council, who described how councillors were approached by HARAH and Debbie Rhodes about a new affordable housing scheme. She admitted that the task was made easier because the piece of land was owned by the County Council. In 2014 there were forty-six on the waiting list for the parish. The process was slow, because the land had to be accessed through Buddlesgate, a nineties development. Unhappy residents were drawn into the scheme by open days, meetings and assemblies and an understanding that young families needed homes but the local stock was small and the rents high. During the planning process, the Parish Council were involved in matters of housing mix and appearance. Councillors were keen for everything to be for affordable rent but Hyde Housing Association disagreed and eventually there was a compromise with four shared ownership homes. A bat survey was required. The contractors Drew Smith were sensitive to residents’ concerns and there were no complaints. The Parish Council were involved in the criteria for potential residents. Candidates had to have lived locally and/or have strong family connections

P a g e | 2663 for ten years. The allocations would then move on to , South Wonston and Micheldever. All the houses are now occupied and their residents are pleased with them. In time the Way will go through Harding Close, which is named after the late Major Paul Harding of South Wonston, and link with the existing footpath. The development has housed fifteen people from the list, which still has twenty- five on it, and the Parish Council hopes for a further development to accommodate them at the Oxford Road end of Sutton Scotney. In order to support village assets. Jess Bond followed Lucy. Jess had been Chairman of Shedfield Parish Council before retirement. Shedfield Parish consists of three villages, , with shops, pubs and buses, Shedfield with two pubs and a bus service and Sherrill Heath, which used to have a post office, shop, bus, school and pub. Children tend to move away, the population is getting older and it is very hard to get a house. The Parish Council were approached with a proposal for affordable housing, to a mixed reception. Residents complained about the loss of a view, which they didn’t own, and parish council meetings became rather acrimonious, scaring off those who were interested. Shedfield Parish Council eventually decided to support a scheme in Waltham Chase and some houses in Shedfield, on condition that local people could enjoy priority and perpetuity. The decision was made in full council, but subsequent new members tried to stop the scheme. However, eventually two schemes of thirteen houses each were built in Shedfield and Waltham Chase. MP Steve Brine made an appearance and spoke about the importance of presenting a scheme in the right way in order to carry dissatisfied residents along and eventually win approval, referring to St John’s Croft in Winchester which had proved controversial. He thought Wonston had “rolled the pitch” just right and had talked to Harding Close residents who had grown up in the village, moved away and been able to return, to their great pleasure. The Government wants to see more houses built, but communities must be part of the process. Sutton Scotney has changed a great deal with many new developments, but as a result the community has become stronger. The audience was invited to visit Harding Close, which is built round a landscaped courtyard, with individual and maisonette style homes in brick and black weatherboarding with open parking spaces and “rustic” car ports. Each property has a small back garden and there is a wildlife/meadow area near the public right of way. The properties are built to high standards of sustainability with larger than customary rooms. One resident expressed great satisfaction, especially with her garden.

It was agreed that the next step is for WCC to set up a Land Consultation event with Action Hampshire to be held in South Wonston. There needs to be demonstrate a need, sighting and show the infrastructure of the village is sufficient.

Cllr Perrins pointed out that the 8 houses on Downs Road (new build). Did they go through the next steps above? Cllr Neville expressed we are correct about the 8 houses but doesn’t feel that the people demonstrate a need

P a g e | 2664

Cllr Dodson commented to say that of the 3000 people living in the village only 100 people voiced that they didn’t approve the scheme. Are the people who support it intimidated to speak out as 246 approved it on the village survey? The village doesn’t have enough small normal houses for people downsizing to and therefore have to move out of the village.

It should be noted that the Parish Council do not have the final decision. This will be decided by the other agencies and WCC planning.

To be noted

Cllr Godfrey and Cllr Horrill left the meeting at 8.35pm

19/056 RECREATION GROUND

To RESOLVE and agree to spend the money on the inspection

- Swifts Football NOTES OF AN EXTRA PAVILION COMMITTEE MEETING 26-06-2019 Present: Cllrs Perrins (Chairman), Peal and Dodson, and Mr Tim Gardner (Swifts).

Members inspected the changing room doorsills. Tim Gardner (TG) thought the marks were due to natural wear and tear and recommended repainting or finding a more hard-wearing surface. TG approved the proposal of a boot-brushing fixture to be set into the grass or paving. Cllr Perrins (JP) had seen one of these at Liss. The difficulty of opening the

P a g e | 2665

Home Changing Room door was noted; the hinges were separating. Planning was recommended. Inside the Home room, TG assured members that the clothing would be sorted out and removed today (26th June). Swifts had already made strenuous efforts to tidy the changing room. Storage would have to be found for the dugouts, which could be dismantled. The Fete Group would be reminded again to collect their three wooden benches, which would be removed for disposal if not taken away two weeks after a reminder. Members were very keen to purchase a floor-cleaning washer/brusher (Karcher) to improve the changing room floors. It was agreed to talk about a painting schedule at the next full Pavilion Committee meeting on July 2nd. The Away Changing Room was tidy but the floor would benefit from cleaning with the proper equipment. The contents of Store 2 were neat and well-packed; Store 1 would be sorted out by Pete Laud and some of the younger players. There was a tendency to leave kit between seasons. TG referred to a broken goal-post bracket in the garage which would be repaired. Members inspected the barrier which had sustained some wear during its presence on the recreation ground. Cllr Peal had already requested an exercise group to avoid including the barrier but it was agreed TG should make a direct approach. TG confirmed that the first game would be on 27th July and the barrier could be disassembled for storage after 20th May 2020 when the football season ended. Swifts had prepared and seeded areas on the football pitch and carried out further stone-picking but still had some hole-filling to do especially around the goal post sockets and intended to seed the reinforced hard standing strip after the topsoil had been spread. TG confirmed that Swifts would do the seeding alongside the barrier and work on the goal post sockets so they are flush with the ground for safety. The previously bare patches were already showing signs of regrowth but the ground surface was more uneven than before. It was agreed that Grass and Grounds would be asked for advice by Clerk on her return from leave the following week. Councillors were concerned that the ground might not be ready for play on 27th July or 24th August. ( League play would start 17th August and 27th July would be a friendly game ). It was decided to review the pitch at the beginning of August. Few rooks had been seen, but since they appear later, members thought it would be a good idea to resume chafer grub treatment in September (as previously agreed.) ACTIONS ARISING: Committee to agree painting and repair schedule, Cllr Peal to remind Fete Group about benches, Clerk to order floor cleaner and investigate boot-scraper, TG to approach exercise group directly, Swifts to continue ground work and tidying up and Clerk to seek professional advice about improving the recreation ground surface from Grass and Grounds.

To continue after 9.30pm

19/057 MINUTES OF A MEETING OF THE PAVILION COMMITTEE 02-07-2019

Present: Cllrs Perrins (Chairman), Peal and Dodson. Apologies: Mr Tim Gardner (Swifts) and Clerk.

P a g e | 2666

PAVILION MANAGEMENT INSPECTION Serious damage to the fire door shutter had occurred and been repaired by a contact from Corrigenda. Members considered investigating an “automatic” system. Cllr Perrins (JP) measured up for a warning notice. It was noted that three caps on the shutter box screws were broken or missing. With regard to the existing wall damage, members recalled that Clerk was going to look at table bumpers and wondered if, when Terms and Conditions are reviewed, a deposit might be requested. Cllr Dodson (BD) suggested looking for plastic rather than metal table edges when ordering the new round tables on the project list. JP thought hirers should be made aware that damage would have to be paid for. Members recalled that finger guards had been recommended for the Parish Room door but couldn’t imagine what could be done about the hinge side. Perhaps the school could be asked about safety measures. The corridor was in need of repainting, especially on the south side. The Gents and Ladies toilets were tolerable but could really benefit from a thorough “deep clean”. The Disabled Toilet door had dropped on its hinges. The Kitchen would also benefit from a thorough clean of fixtures and utensils. A cracked glass jug was noted which should be removed. The outside toilet floor would get a better clean with the proposed new tile surface cleaner. Members recalled the recent visit of Dynorod (report awaited) and the recommendation of a drum toilet paper dispenser, possibly with a lock to prevent drain blocking. The walls looked in need of painting. The Plant Room floor needed a sweep. In the Garage, it was noted that only half the floor had been swept by users, but the area was tidy. In the Away Changing Room, a wash basin had a loose tap, both toilets need cleaning and there were unidentifiable black fragments on the floor. The walls needed a paint touch-up. Someone had left a hat on a bench. In the Home Changing Room, one toilet had been left unflushed and the bin hadn’t been emptied. There was some kit remaining, including the dugouts, two large bags and a saw, but the committee are aware of Swifts’ strenuous efforts to tidy up lately. The three benches used by the fete committee would be collected as soon as a convenient date could be found, Cllr Peal (AP) reported. It was suggested that, in future, any clothing left out would be put in a box in Clerk’s office for retrieval or disposal after a suitable interval. The Referee’s Changing Room had no toilet paper and seemed unused. It was agreed that Mr Ray Watts should be asked to recommend something to improve the changing room door sills, perhaps a rubber strip, and a boot cleaner should be found and installed. Members decided to consider getting in a professional cleaning company to undertake an annual deep clean. Outside the building, the paving and astro turf area needed treatment with weed killer. The two areas of restored grass would also benefit from weed treatment and strimming. A resident expressed concern that the car park barrier had not been closed at night regularly while walking her dog. Clerk will find out if this is before 10.30pm as this is around the normal time that Terry comes out to lock it. PAINTING SCHEDULE

P a g e | 2667

It was agreed that the Parish Room needed filler for holes and paint, the southern Corridor wall required paint, the Home and Away Changing Rooms need paint and filler and protective strips for the door sills and all doors needed checking for “stickiness”. August would be the ideal time for the work. Mr Ray Watts would be asked to quote for the job and indicate availability. ACTIONS ARISING Clerk: source and arrange for replacement of screw caps, investigate plastic table edges to reduce damage, remove the cracked jug in the kitchen, undertake the purchase of the second Karcher cleaner, source and purchase a drum toilet paper dispenser and boot cleaner for outside installation as seen at Liss by JP, buy weed killer for the caretaker/handyman, talk to him about any personal difficulties and request a quote for the painting and repair schedule from Mr Ray Watts. Committee: investigate door safety, a professional cleaning company and a better system for the fire door and its shutter. Cllr Peal: to facilitate the removal of the fete benches by Mrs Clare Knock. MAINTENANCE DAMAGE REPORT The loose tap in the Away Changing Room was the most urgent item for repair. ACTIONS ARISING Clerk: locate someone to tighten the tap. FINANCE Clerk was absent on holiday and therefore no figures were to hand. DATE OF NEXT MEETING Tuesday, 6th August, 2019.

To be noted.

8:50 – 8:52 Bus 1

As in previous surveys no problems were encountered by the parents / children crossing the road. On all occasions the drivers and pedestrians were courteous to each other and gave way. Conclusion: This is a very safe school entrance with very low volume of Traffic and Children crossing the road. At school start and finish times cars are parked along the road side turning the road into a single lane. This has the effect of slowing down the vehicles and making them stop and give way to traffic from the opposite direction. This also makes it safer to cross the road. It is extremely unlikely to be funded for a crossing. Two situations did give me concern:- 1) 2 cars travelling East stopped and turned round by reversing into Norris Gardens. 2) Another car from Norris Gardens reversed out onto Downs Road.

HCC don’t want the extra pole and wanted the Parish Council to move the pole from Downs’ Road to Alresford Drove, but have now asked for an extra pole. Currently it is unknown when this will arrive.

Cllr McCurrach asked about the SDU being moved to the other end of Downs Road, near the shop.

19/059 GENERAL AMENITIES

- Village Survey 2017 update

Update from Cllrs on the outstanding items from the last village survey of projects that remain outstanding. Cllr Selby felt that the best way forward was to allocate each of the projects to a councillor, as follows:- Cycle path - Cllr Selby. Email correspondences with Cllr Warwick re: meeting with safe cycle group and officers. This should be carried out before the consultation. Transport issue not a leisure route, therefore surfacing should be tarmac. Allotment – Cllr Street – Arranged a meeting with Adrian. – Been to the allotment and had a look. Not fully occupied. 25% not being used. Affordable Housing – Cllr Peal - progressing Pedestrian Crossing – Cllr Dodson – not sufficient problem for us to justify it. Widening of Alresford Drove to make into a path – Cllr Perrins emailed Cllr Warwick and passed to Cllr Godfrey to discuss. More Doctors’ Appointments – Clerk not progressed Improvement of Cell Phone – Cllr Neville spoke to Arqiva and Vodaphone. Not interested in lack of service as spending money on 5G and feel the main problem is being too close to the aerials on the water tower. Faster Broadband – Cllr Neville thanked Cllr Warwick as she put him in contact with an organisation. British Telecom signed off fast broadband for 98% of the village from 2 weeks ago.

Email from HCC Bus Company Provider

We've had a look through those notes supplied by the Parish Council and please find below our observations :

1. Unfortunately diverting the 85 via Sutton Scotney and South Wonston would add around 8 minutes running time and would not prove practical at the present time. More importantly, perhaps, the 85 is designed as a faster service between Andover and Winchester especially for College students and a diversion would significantly undermine the attractiveness of the service to the current users. 3. We work hard to keep our fleet utterly reliable, but inevitably we do have breakdowns from time to time. In such cases we aim to replace the vehicle as soon as possible, but inevitably with a longer route, the time taken to replace the vehicle can be much longer than for a local city service that is much closer to our depots. We actually prioritise lower frequency routes at times of service interruptions as we do readily appreciate the greater impact a missing bus has on a low frequency service. We would enlist the help of the nearest depot in attending any breakdown so the ultimate home depot of the bus is not a factor in response times. On the question of waiting time, it’s always difficult on a 'loop' to know where best to place the timing point. If we have it at the start, and prevailing traffic conditions mean that the bus needs to wait time, then those on the bus wishing to alight at points further along the loop are frustrated at having to wait on the bus. If the timing point is at the end of the loop then, as Cllr Selby observes, the bus may pass the first part of the loop a little earlier than expected. I am not sure there is an easy solution to this point and the school does make a readily identifiable timing point. 4. Unfortunately we have no plans, or funds available, to introduce a Sunday or evening service at the present time. Would the County or Parish Council have some funding available? 5. A one - way loop within Winchester would not be a practical proposition. Quite apart from the additional running time required to reach Stockbridge Road, such a loop would cause confusion and I am not sure that people wanting Waitrose at Harestcok would find it attractive to travel all the way into Winchester before then travelling all the way out again to begin their journey home. 6. We certainly support any way to keep the area around the school clear of cars at peak times. The use of the concessionary passes is dictated by the County Council as you know and unfortunately the first bus passing through the village is 27 minutes after the 0930 start of the pass validity We will look to see if any improvement can be made to connection times between the 76 and 86 at Whitchurch, although they are timed to meet at the moment with around a five minute wait in each direction.

I am sorry not to provide a more positive response to the suggestions made by the Parish Council. This reflects the rural nature of the village and the disparate, and often conflicting, requirements that our bus services are trying to provide for.

I do hope the above at least allows more understanding of the reasons why we can’t provide a greater level of service to South Wonston at the present time. If there is a source of funding available to allow greater service levels we would be delighted to work with you.

- Gardening Club

Email Received from the Gardening Club Following on from our committee meeting on 17th June, I have been asked to advise you that the Gardening Club might consider looking after the 2 existing flower tubs at the Pavilion if 2 tubs or troughs were provided at the Village Hall. Maintenance of additional tubs at other locations would need serious consideration. I hope this information is of some assistance.
