Bolnhurst & Keysoe Parish Council Bolnhurst & Keysoe Parish Council A Meeting was held on 18th January 2021 Virtual Meeting via Zoom at 7.30pm Present: PCllr M Perry, PCllr C Kew, PCllr S Bates, PCllr M Gossage, PCllr J Stone, PCllr L Barry, PCllr J Browning, BCllr Wootton, Mrs G Wiggs (Parish Clerk), and 13 members of the public. 1. APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE None. 2. DECLARATIONS OF MEMBERS LOCAL & PECUNIARY INTERESTS IN THE BUSINESS TO BE TRANSACTED HEREUNDER None. 3. TO VERIFY THE MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS PARISH COUNCIL MEETING These were approved. 4. MATTERS ARISING Play Equipment Quotes – PCllr Browning reported that these are on hold for the duration of the lockdown. Average Speed Cameras – BCllr Royden has confirmed that our application will be added to the list for consideration. He explained that they are still extremely rare across the country. The cameras are extremely effective but also very expensive at around £75,000 and the Borough Council receives no funding from the fines produced. He appreciated the offer of financial assistance and this demonstrates the commitment of the local community. However, he explained that the list is growing every year, & there are about 90 site requests across the Borough. This is at a time when the Council is seeking to find £27million cuts not least to cover the cost of the Covid crisis. He was therefore not sure when the next schemes will be affordable. Bereavement - condolences sent. School Nativity Project – grant application declined. SID Risk Assessment – circulated. SID data sharing with Pertenhall & Ravensden – Pertenhall have agreed, Ravensden yet to reply (meeting 19/1/21) 5. OPEN FORUM FOR MEMBERS AND THE PUBLIC TO SPEAK Fly tipping – PCllr Gossage reported that fly tipping on Church Rd has been reported. “Young at Heart” – PCllr Browning suggested that at a suitable point in the future the Parish Council could consider any play equipment for older “young at heart” residents. Councillors agreed this would be a good future project. War Memorial – Thanks were offered to Penny Heming for maintaining the War Memorial which is looking really lovely. Superfast Broadband – A resident asked if there was any news on achieving Superfast Broadband speeds in harder to reach areas of the Parish. The Chairman confirmed there was no news. BCllr Wootton suggested residents contact The Mayor & their MP to raise their concerns, as we are now at the stage where most households have Superfast Broadband, & we are left with the more challenging areas needing to be delivered. PCllr Gossage will also contact someone in Open Reach – Action PCllr Gossage Cannabis Factory – A resident reported that following the Police raid, 8 skips of rubbish were removed, but there is still some remaining yet to be taken away. Planning Applicant, land adjacent Rose Cottage, Hatch End – This resident introduced herself & offered to take any questions about her planning application. School Lane Flooding – The owners of the Old School House raised concern about the damage caused to the Old School House, in the Christmas floods. She was grateful to BCllr Wootton & Council Officers 1 Bolnhurst & Keysoe Parish Council & staff who attended & helped as best they could, but it was to little effect regretfully. The flood damage is extensive, & is currently in the hands of insurers. Borough Council staff in attendance tried to clear the drain to the B660, but it was evident there was a significant blockage that caused the water to back up & hence flood. This area has never flooded before & there are no ditches to maintain. It is evident this drain blockage is the root cause of the issue. Residents purchased pumps in an effort to clear water & stop the flood recurring. This is a real danger, given that the drain blockage has not yet been cleared. Thanks were particularly offered to residents Jeremy Lucas, Harry Noble & Claudio Cuccurollo, who worked tirelessly to help. BCllr Wootton explained there has been significant flood devastation across the Borough. The team has been under enormous pressure as they have had so many incidents to attend to, and many houses have needed to be evacuated. He was really pleased that Highways managed to attend at Bolnhurst on Christmas Eve, & there is another storm warning on the way. He suggested emailing the Mayor and Borough Officers to push for the work to be done to clear the blocked drain as soon as possible. As the Old School is an important Community Building that hosts events such as Parish Council meetings, community events & is a Polling Station, the Parish Council will also contact The Mayor & Council Officers about this, & also thank the residents that helped – Action The Clerk Roadside Nature Reserves – A resident asked BCllr Wootton what the management plan is for these. They appear to have been cut, but the cuttings have been left which will inhibit wildflower growth. BCllr Wootton explained that there is limited funding for maintaining these & he understands they are only cut every few years. Refuse collection Timetable bin labels over Xmas – A resident asked BCllr Wootton why these were not provided. BCllr Wootton will enquire – Action BCllr Wootton 6. FORTHCOMING RESIGNATION OF CHAIRMAN PCllr Bates explained that as he has moved out of the area, he felt it appropriate to tender his resignation. He is happy to stay up to the AGM if needed. Given that we have had a resident enquire about joining the Parish Council recently it was decided it may be best to do this straight away, in case the opportunity is lost. PCllr Bates therefore tendered his resignation with immediate effect. PCllr Bates confirmed he is happy to be contacted at any time to help & advise. Thanks were offered to him for his many years as a Parish Councillor and as Chairman. His experience will be greatly missed. The Clerk also offered her personal thanks for his support over many years. The Clerk explained that the Borough Council will need to be advised & we will be issued with a notice of vacancy. If no one asks for an election after 2 weeks then we can proceed with a Co-option. – Action The Clerk 7. CORONA VIRUS PCllr Barry reported that the support group has received 4 requests for assistance recently, all of which have been fulfilled. She asked everyone to keep in touch with their neighbours – especially any that live alone. Penny Heming confirmed regular phone contact is continuing to be made to many residents. 8.

  • Minutes of a Meeting with Bedford Borough Council Highways Department, Borough Cllr. T. Wootton, and Representatives from Staplo
    Minutes of a Meeting with Bedford Borough Council Highways Department, Borough Cllr. T. Wootton, and representatives from Staploe, Little Staughton, Colmworth and Bolnhurst and Keysoe Parish Councils on Wednesday 19th February 2020 at 2pm at Keysoe Village Hall, Keysoe Row West, Bedford MK44 2JE Present: Andrew Prigmore (Bedford Borough Council Highways Dept.), Borough Cllr. T. Wootton, Lucy Crawford (Clerk to Staploe Parish Council), Cllr. Veronica Zwetsloot (Staploe Parish Council), Cllr. Kevin Head (Little Staughton Parish Council), Cllr. Gordon Johnstone (Wyboston Parish Council), Cllr. Martina Perry (Bolnhurst and Keysoe Parish Council) and Cllr. Beverley Brightman (Colmworth Parish Council). Apologies: Gareth Turner (Bedford Borough Council Highways Department) 1. Consider the introduction of a 50mph limit on Bushmead Road All the parish councils represented supported the introduction of reduced speed limits on the Bushmead Road to a maximum of 50mph but KH suggested it should be 40mph in places. They recounted witnessing several nasty accidents on the road (one requiring an airlift to hospital). They also recounted many near misses some of which they believed were due to large HGV’s passing at speed when the road is not wide enough and cars being forced into the middle of the road by potholes. They acknowledged that recent repairs had improved the worst areas of the road but were concerned that some areas with failing patches had not been addressed. Andrew Prigmore explained that the worst areas had been repaired at a cost of approximately £70K but they had to choose the worst areas due to their limited budget. He reported that police data showed that none of the accidents on the road had been directly caused by excess speed.

  • Canon John Laird
    Blackberry Lane Lingfield The College of Surrey St Barnabas RH7 6NJ 01342 870260 www.st-barnabas.org.uk We can’t thank you enough The response to the letter from College Patron Dame Judi Dench along with that from Myrtle Hall (left) has been truly wonderful, raising over £100,000. When Dame Judi (below) learned of how the College had helped Myrtle she was so impressed that she wrote to our supporters urging them to help us in our work. “I am so grateful to everyone for their generosity,” said College Chairman, Sir Paul Britton. “This shows that people really appreciate what we do and want to ensure that we can help as many as possible.” Regular readers may remember that Myrtle’s story was featured in the Bulletin last year. She was a trained primary school teacher before spending many years as a missionary in Nigeria where she helped to found two schools for physically handicapped children. Sadly, her mobility has declined, but the power wheelchair, for which the College fundraising team raised the money, has enabled her to retain her independence. “I am thrilled that my letter has helped to raise so much support for the College,” she said. “The care that we receive here is wonderful and I am delighted that this will mean it can continue to be offered to those most in need.” Characters from the College: Canon John Laird By Cliff Caswell It started as a means to gain secular experience, but Canon John Laird’s teaching gift has been an important feature throughout his ministry.
