Mr Harris informed the Clerk that in his position as the last Chairman he agreed with SODC to accept another 300 trees in December 2007 to fill in the existing gaps in the trees lined around Council owned land on the Village Hall site and the west end of the Bowley Field.

The Clerk will ask Mr Horsley to arrange an agenda for a planning meeting if required. 125/07 REPORTS/UPDATES Website Report from Mrs Palmer – Another short report this month. Viewing figures have risen steadily over the months since the Horspath web site went on line. We have now had over 2160 visitors since February 2007. The number of visitors for July was 1700, triple the number for June. I have taken new photos of buildings around Horspath and the ones of the church are now seen when the Horspath web site is visited. I have re-worked the picture page with quite a few more photos contributed by Keith Brooks and others. There are now several photos on separate pages for St. Giles Church, other interesting buildings in Horspath, views from around the Village Hall and Recreation areas, views around Horspath Village, Wildlife Conservation Area and wildlife near the village, and some showing the traffic problems we have in Horspath. The coordinator of Horspath Neighbourhood Watch Scheme is planning to have a web page dedicated to NHW news. Parish Plan - The HVSA section of the Parish Plan Questionnaire may soon be subject to some final editing by the Questionnaire specialist at SODC. SODC's adviser initially thought that the sports development questions might perhaps be too specific, and the preamble rather too 'leading', but ORCC's Parish Plans adviser said that we should ask whatever specific questions the various sections of the village community needed the answers to. Other sections of the Questionnaire are still under construction, based upon responses returned as part of the shorter survey. Wildlife Conservation Area - The gravel laying is now complete around the top section of the 'circular path', so that this path can be used in wet weather, and the gravel has been topped up on the flights of steps where the level of the aggregate had fallen below the tops of the wooden risers, which may have had the potential to develop into a trip hazard. Hundreds of small frogs are now successfully leaving the pond. 126/07 REPORT FROM INTERNAL AUDIT 2006/07 CARRIED OUT BY MR ROLLERSON Item 4 Budget/Precept – The Parish Council budgeted £15,000.00 to cover legal fees relating to the bridge and the EIP. This sum was not used as a considerable amount of work carried out on both cases was done voluntarily by Mr Harris. If it is agreed that we are not likely to incur any further legal expenses in connection with this matter, the money will either be re-allocated or deleted from future budgets. Item 4 Budget/Precept - £1,000.00 was budgeted for the bridge. This will also be deducted from future budgets if it is not re-allocated. Item 4 Balances – This was an oversight on the Clerks behalf, due to the first installment of the precept for 2006/07 being paid on 31st March 2006. Item 9 Bank Interest – Councillors agreed that the Clerk will review the Parish Council’s bank accounts with a view to obtaining better interest rates. All other comments made by Mr Rollerson were noted. The Annual return for 2006/07 can now be signed and sent to BDO Stoy for the External Audit. 127/07 MR MAYLING – Due to the concern about the condition & reliability of the Parish Council’s tractor’s two rear tyres, the HVSA & HVHMC request approval to purchase replacements when it is considered necessary. The estimated cost is between £210.00 - £260.00 per tyre. Councillors agreed the purchase of the tyres when necessary. Mr Mayling to inform Mr Goss. 128/07 MR MAYLING – To consider a request from the HVSA & the HVHMC to create an access in the old Scout Hut to facilitate the storage of the Parish Council’s tractor, gang mowers and “topper” as an intermediate measure, pending development of the building. Mr Mayling explained that by doing this it would make the accessibility to the tractor much easier. The estimated cost is around £200.00. Mr Hamlet has kindly offered to help. Councillors agreed for Mr Mayling to go ahead. 129/07 ACCESS TO BURIAL GROUND Mr Gray asked at the last meeting if the Parish Council would nominate a Councillor to take responsibility for the keys to ensure that the gate is unlocked when burials are taking place, as he is not always available to do this. Mrs Woodcock agreed to hold a set of keys, and will work with Mr Gray & Rev Cowles to ensure the gate is open when needed. It was also reported that the barrier lock can sometimes be hard to open. Mrs Woodcock asked if one of the bottom barriers could be used to replace this one. Mr Mayling commented that now the gate is in place, there is no need for the barrier to be in operation. Mr Mayling to look into the possibilities & report back at next Council meeting. Mrs Gray expressed concern on some of the trees in the Burial Ground. Mr Martin agreed to inspect the trees and report back at the next meeting. 130/07 CHEQUERS INN CAR PARK Councillors agreed to defer this item until the next meeting, as no report was available from the meeting held with the District Valuer and Mr Horsley last week. The Clerk has received a letter from the District Valuer notifying the Parish Council of charges for carry out the valuation. Charges will be £95.00 per hour – a minimum of £200.00, at no cost to the Parish Council. 131/07 QUOTATIONS FOR TREE WORKS The Clerk contacted a further two Tree Surgeons to request a quotation for tree works required in the village. To date no quotations have been submitted. It was agreed that the Clerk contact one other tree surgeon for a quotation and a decision will be made at the next meeting. 132/07 REPORT ON MEETING WITH MARK BATIN – ARMY CADET FORCE - Copy of letter received from Mr Martin Harris. Mrs Woodcock explained that Councillors agreed to meet with Mr Mark Batin to discuss his proposals, and that there were no promises made to Mr Batin at that meeting.

    The Four Parishes News Magazine BECKLEY FOREST HILL HORTON-cum-STUDLEY STANTON St JOHN 90�� birthday celebration in Stanton St John December 2018 / January 2019 The editor writes: To be honest, it has been a real struggle getting the magazine done this month. The double whammy of a big build up to so many different events on Remembrance Sunday after an incredibly busy October, combined with the need to cover two whole months in this edition of the magazine has not made it any easier! I hope the result will help everyone to get a really clear idea of the many wonderful community events coming up in December and that you will all be inspired to join in as many as possible. Meanwhile, I am delighted to be able to say that we have been working hard on the complicated process of preparing to search for a new vicar and, all being well, the post will be advertised in January. It only remains to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Julia Stutfield Our cover photo … is of George and Olive Lees, and was taken at a tea party in November to celebrate George’s 90�� birthday. George and Olive moved to Stanton St John 40 years ago and they ran the Stanton St John Shop and Post Office for 15 years before retiring in 1993. If you have taken a photo which you think might be suitable for the cover of the next magazine, please email it to [email protected] 2 We welcome contributions or notices for future issues.
