PARISH COUNCIL

MINUTES OF CORFE CASTLE PARISH COUNCIL HELD AT THE TOWN HALL, CORFE CASTLE ON MONDAY 13th January 2020- The meeting commenced at 7.00pm

PRESENT: Cllr Steve Clarke, Cllr Dru Drury, Cllr Fooks, Cllr Parish, Cllr Spicer Short, Cllr J Dragon, Cllr N Dragon, Cllr Haywood, Cllr Marshallsay

There were six members of the public present.

PUBLIC HALF HOUR. Members of the Chamber of Commerce attended to voice their concerns regarding proposals set out for the West Street Car Park in the Parking and Traffic Study which was published with the Agenda. They asked what is happening and what are the plans for the West Street car park? The Council responded that they are looking at parking in the village with a complete blank sheet and have looked at all possible scenarios. The study paper is being presented to the Council for discussion and no proposals have yet been discussed, decided or tested for feasibility. There is a suggestion of, in the long term, closing the West Street car park but this is one possible scenario and is by no means a firm or immediate proposal. The representatives of the Chamber of Commerce accepted this and asserted they would not support any closure of the West Street car park unless there was an equally convenient, or better alternative. Dr Lepper made a written representation setting out how essential the car park is to the surgery in West Street. Sophie Dixon also made a written representation against making any changes to the current parking arrangements in West Street and West Street car park.

On behalf of the Council, Cllr Clarke expressed condolences to the relatives of Cllr Mike Lovell who has passed away. Cllr Lovell was a committed and diligent Cllr who regularly attended meetings as a District and County Councillor and always spoke up for the area.

Cllr Clarke reported that the Government have approved the proposed re arrangement of the Health Service and the A+E at Poole Hospital will be downgraded to an urgent Care Centre which will not be have consultants available nor be able to deal with trauma or serious incidents.

Cllr Clarke expressed the Councils condolences to Cllr Cherry Brooks for the recent loss of her father.

CORFE CASTLE PARISH COUNCIL

Dorset Council had considered their budget and they propose to increase funding for adult social care and children’s services, this is set to keep in pace with rapidly increasing demand. The Council no longer receive a revenue support grant from central government and next year’s budget does include multimillion-pound savings. The budget was set with a 3.996% increase (2% in line with government recommendation and 2% is what the Council need to keep running). In the future they want to see more invest to save and cost cutting. The Climate emergency panel have met to discuss single use plastics and how to reduce these throughout the Dorset Council operations. The reports arising will go forward to scrutiny on the 30th Jan and will then be presented to cabinet. There is a supplementary planning policy document re. protecting areas of heathland in Dorset. The consultation runs until the 3rd of February. The Council are promoting helping a neighbour with your winter fuel payments. Some people do not feel they need their winter fuel allowance and they can donate it to someone in need through the CAB, or the Dorset Community Foundation. Cllr N Dragon asked was there progress on Norden, Cllr Brooks said she will chase it up. A press release is planned to promote Purbeck Park. Cllr Parish asked Cllr Brooks about a recent planning committee meeting at which Cllrs had voted against a development in Lulworth. Cllr Brooks confirmed this was the case. A developer on another site had gone to appeal regarding the second homes policy and this had been upheld by the Inspector from planning services on the basis there had been challenges to the second homes policy. Following that the Lulworth development had requested an appeal and the Councillors had unanimously voted to object as the development would cause a detrimental effect to the village. They wanted to send a message that they did not want developments which will be detrimental to villages and communities. They do not yet know if this has been upheld. 5. NATIONAL TRUST REPORT. James Gould announced the National Trust is celebrating 125 years. This is being promoted with illuminations on the keep. Tracy Churcher has started as General Manager for Purbeck. She will attend a meeting once she has settled in. The trust have plans to imminently start tree work across Purbeck. Some targeted areas have not previously been worked on and the new works are part of their re-zoning in the countryside project. Jen, the trust engagement officer is working on the Purbeck Beaver Feasibility project; exploring introducing Eurasian Beavers to the Purbeck Landscape. A meeting is being held in Corfe on Monday 24th February and in Stoborough on Monday 27th February. The robing room scaffolding should be coming down soon once the work has been signed off by the building inspector. Cllr N Dragon asked were there works to be done inside the room? No, it is just remedial work inside as far as James is aware. Cllr N Dragon also asked what are the NT’s plans for tree planting in the area? Action: James to report back to the Council regarding the NT’s plans for tree planting? Cllr Fooks thanked James for the gravel in the gate at the top of the halves. She asked if there was any update on the kissing gates in the Halves and making them more accessible? There was no update. Cllr Fooks asked about progress on the tap in the allotment. James reported the process has been delayed trying to ascertain who owns the bank in front of the allotments and without knowing this permission can’t be granted to dig it up. Cllr Fooks reported there had been an incident with horses escaping from the Common. The gate is not latching sufficiently or springing back. She requested can this be actioned as a matter of urgency and can additional signage be installed stating the importance of shutting the gate. Cllr Spicer Short asked could the hedging along Kingston Hill and other roadsides be cut back please? It is thick with bramble and blackthorn and needs to be done in the window where there are no nesting birds. Cllr Clarke requested an update on the car charging point at Castle view.

7. CONSIDERATION OF PARKING AND TRAFFIC STUDY (SEE APPENDIX A). The Traffic and Parking working group had been asked by the Council to prepare a study or parking arrangements in the village. This can be viewed in full on the website. It is a document that explores many potential alternatives for parking and is a basis for discussion; none of the suggestions have been endorsed or approved by the Council, nor the group itself. Cllr Clarke thanked the group for all the work they had done and Cllr Dru Drury presented the paper. Cllr Dru Drury gave an overview of the report. The introduction presents the background national situation with cars and the visitor numbers we experience in Corfe, it then goes on to discuss historic parking and traffic studies. Cllr Dru Drury stressed there is a huge amount of work to do before any of the suggestions could be implemented should the Council wish to take them forward. The next step after this discussion will be to liaise with Dorset Council to discuss feasibility. He stressed none on of the proposals were costed and no funding had been allocated with the exception of Norden. Proposal were as follows; Norden and West Street Parking • We concentrate parking at Norden. This requires: Expansion of the space available at Norden Provision of viable footpaths and cycle way from Norden to the village. Provision of a shuttle bus service Provision of travel by the Railway with a cheap ticket from Norden to Corfe • Action by Dorset Council to push the Norden project forward.
