Ufford Parish Council Bainton & Ashton Parish Council Minutes of the meeting of Bainton and Ashton Parish Council at the Reading Room, Bainton PE9 3AE th at 7.30 pm on Tuesday 7 January 2020 At 7pm, with 12 residents present, there was an open meeting - a presentation by Richard Astle, Chair of the Langdyke Trust about the John Clare project, aiming to Increase wildlife habitats, help local people understand and enjoy the natural and built heritage of John Clare Countryside, pilot and champion best practice sustainable devel- opment and land use, promote public health and well-being, create new jobs and economic opportunities. He encouraged residents to visit the Trust website (https://langdyke.org.uk/ ) and consider joining. Residents can also join the Trust’s Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/langdyketrust/ The Trust is keen to enrol extra helpers for the weekly work parties and welcome more volunteers if you would like to get actively involved in their projects. In the meantime, the Trust is engaged in applications for significant grant funding to take the project forward and is continuing to engage local groups and councils. Public time There were 8 members of public present. A resident raised various concerns about the repairs that Peterborough City Council should be doing and the need for more clearance of leaves from footpaths, which are causing a problem. Requests can now be made directly to PCC via their FixMyStreet website. A suggestion was made to move the Moveable Vehicle Activated Sign (MVAS) back to Barnack Road (B1443) as it appears traffic speed has increased since the absence of the MVAS. Cllr. Stanton replied that the MVAS had been operational in both Ufford Road and Tallington Road from the beginning of December. It had just been moved to Helpston Road (B1443). A request was made to impose a 40mph speed limit along Tallington Road to link the Tallington and Bainton 30mph zones. It was agreed that Tallington Parish Council should be consulted about this. See below l) for other issues being addressed with PCC. 117/20 Present were Councillors Susie Lucas (Chair), Anita Phillips, Chris Womack, Cliff Stanton, Pete Charlton and Clerk, Jenny Rice (minute taker). 118/20 To note and accept apologies for absence sent to the clerk. Apologies for absence were received from City Cllr Irene Walsh and Ward Cllr David Over. 119/20 To receive any declarations of interest in items on the agenda and grant any written requests for dispensation. Members should disclose any interests (pecuniary or other) in the business to be discussed and are reminded that any disclosable pecuniary interests will require that the member withdraws from the discussion and voting. No declarations of interest were received. 120/20 To confirm and sign as correct the Minutes of the Council meeting held on 5th November 2019. The minutes of the last meeting were agreed as a true record by all present and signed by the chair. 121/20 Ward Councillor report. No report available as Cllr Over not able to attend. 122/20 Police, Speedwatch and Neighbourhood Watch reports. A report from Cllr Cliff Stanton was received and noted. There has been 2 Speedwatch sessions in November and December, one as part of Cambs Constabulary’s Operation Astragal and only 8 out of 105 vehicles and 1 out of 131 vehicles were travelling at 35mph or more which is encouraging. Further monitoring with MVAS – see below – records rather more vehicles travelling over the speed limit though. The possibility of speed stickers for wheelie bins has been investigated, however after discussion not felt to be cost effective. Bainton & Ashton Parish Council, Agenda 7th January 2020 Page 1 Neighbourhood Watch It is reported that the problem with receiving useful and timely information on crimes in the area is not improving. The police do not seem to pass on relevant information to the Co-ordinators and it is due to a lack of resource.

Cllr Stanton to contact the Peterborough Neighbourhood Watch organiser and Cambridgeshire Constabulary to see whether they can attend. 123/20 Finance & Governance a) To approve the quarterly finance report dated 31st December 2019 The bank reconciliation report with total income and expenditure was received and noted. b) To approve the proposed budget and precept/forms for 2020/21, precept adjusted from the last meeting and attached.

  • Chapter 16 Marholm Village and Buildings
    Chapter 16 Marholm Village and Buildings History of the Village Marholm village lies approximately four miles West of Peterborough and one mile from the seat of the Fitzwilliam family at Milton Hall. The parish covers some fourteen hundred acres, with the village positioned roughly in the centre. Today it remains a peaceful, largely agricultural community of some two hundred people. Although during the past fifty years the domination of agriculture has diminished, the village retains a rural feel, and in many ways is unchanged from its earlier history, despite the modern development, and proximity to a burgeoning city. To a large extent, this tranquillity has been preserved by the protection derived from Milton Estate, which has retained ownership of much of the property in the village. In addition, the Estate has curtailed further encroachment from the city beyond Mucklands Wood to the East, which delineates the border of Milton’s sales, in the 1960s, of land to the Peterborough Development Corporation for the expansion of the city. The name of the village most probably derives from ‘mere’, meaning pool, and ‘ham’, or settlement, and may refer to the pools by the Manor House. During the Middle Ages, the name was alternatively Marham, Marreham, Marrenham, Mareham, Morham and Marhome. By the 18th century it was commonly referred to as Marham and later known by the present spelling, Marholm [1]. Early History The early history of the village is obscure, with few known archaeological sites. Not surprisingly, however, in view of its proximity to the flourishing Roman settlement in Castor, there is some evidence of their presence in the area now embraced by Marholm.

The Council’s first such review was undertaken in 2007, followed by a second review in 2011. 1.3 Under the Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013, the Council must now conduct a compulsory review of the polling district, polling places and polling stations of Peterborough and North West Cambridgeshire Constituencies that fall within the boundaries of the City of Peterborough.

  • APPENDIX E Peterborough Flood Risk and Climate Change Sensitivity Summary of Methodology
    APPENDIX E Peterborough Flood Risk and Climate Change Sensitivity Summary of Methodology What is it? The Peterborough flood risk and climate change sensitivity tool, combines local and national datasets of environment and infrastructure to help understand the risk of present-day and future flooding, based on climate change predictions, within the city. Was does it do? The tool produces a summary score per ward based on the risk of flooding from surface water, groundwater and fluvial flooding to people, infrastructure, economy and environment; for present day and future risk. How does it work? A list of infrastructure and environmental receptors were identified and split into impact categories (as presented in Table 1). For each of the receptors in a ward, an individual score from 0 (low number of receptors impacted) to 8 (high number of receptors impacted) is calculated based on how many receptors are at risk. This is undertaken for each of different flood events. These individual receptor scores are then combined to give an overall impact score and priority grading for each ward. Results for future risk (climate change) are calculated using the change in impact scores between the modelled results. For fluvial this is the difference between flood zone 2 and flood zone 3 and for surface water this is the change in impact score between the 1 in 30 probability event and the 1 in 1:1,000 probability event. No climate change results have been derived for groundwater. 145 Impact Category Receptor types GP Surgeries Health Hospitals Nursing
