Town & Parish Council’s Weekly Enforcement Case Update (16th- 22nd February 2018): North Petherwin Case Ref EN18/00297 Case Officer Adrian White Nature of Complaint: Alleged felling of large Oak tree subject to a TPO. Site Address: 3 Venton Close Petherwin Gate Launceston Cornwall PL15 8RJ 17/116 Location of Defibrillator 2 and Future of Maxworthy Adopted Phonebox

Defibrillator 2 – Councillors discussed possible locations for the second village defibrillator as Maxworthy was deemed no longer a viable option following objections raised by parishioners who did not want it placed in the phonebox and the considerable cost involved in relocating the phonebox itself. The defibrillator would require weekly/monthly checks carried out by local residents, it would therefore need to be sited not only in easy reach for use but so that the necessary checks could be undertaken as well. The Countryman Inn were continuing to fundraise for their own defibrillator. Councillors agreed that the second defibrillator should be located in Clubworthy and agreed that the Parish Council would make up the shortfall in funds to ensure it’s installation. Action: Cllr Greathead to approach owner of Clubworthy House about the possible installation of the second defibrillator. Cllr Greathead to liaise with Pat Orridge and Toni Martin about the installation and obtain new quotes.

Maxworthy Adopted Phonebox The Parish Council had now adopted the phonebox in Maxworthy and can now only transfer it’s ownership via adoption and not resell it. Only BT could authorise a company based in Essex to physically move the phonebox at a cost. Given that the phonebox would no longer be required to house the second village defibrillator, Councillors discussed whether the parishioners in Maxworthy who reside next to the phonebox, would in fact now like to adopt it and cover the costs incurred in doing so (their letter dated 23rd August 2017 to the Parish Council offered to help with costs). Action: Clerk to provide confirmation around whether the adoption of the phonebox can be transferred to a parishioner and if so, would the Maxworthy parishioners be prepared to cover all costs relating to this adoption.

17/117 Production of a new Parish Plan The Clerk handed out copies of the North Petherwin Parish Plan (as revised in 2009). Councillors agreed that it would fund the production of a new ‘Neighbourhood Plan’ for the village but would await the presentation by Situ8 at the next meeting in March before formulating a working group and holding consultation events within the parish. Action: Clerk to put ‘Neighbourhood Plan’ on the March meeting agenda

17/118 To receive Reports from the Chairman, Cornwall Councillor A Paynter, Parish Councillors to include Highways reports Cornwall Councillor Adam Paynter reported that it was now much quicker and easier to report potholes to Cornwall Council via their website. The new system allowed users to input the address and upload photos of the problem areas and that Cornwall Council would aim to get holes filled with 72 hours. He stressed the importance of having a Neighbourhood Plan as opposed to a Parish Plan and how it could be used to decide where future development within the village could go.

17/119 Correspondence / emails received by the Clerk The Clerk drew Councillors attention to the extensive list of correspondence received as detailed on the meeting agenda. It was agreed that the Clerk would continue to distribute such correspondence via email to all Councillors and that only items they deemed important and/or appropriate would make it onto future agendas.

17/120 Questions and Statements from Councillors, notice of Parish events, items for inclusion on future agenda and exchanges of information relevant to the Parish. Cllr Colwill had been asked if a salt bin could be provided at North Petherwin Primary School. Cllr Greathead reported that the school already had a salt bin and confirmed it’s location.

To be included in next meeting:  Production of new Neighbourhood Plan  Defibrillator 2 location and future of Maxworthy adopted phonebox  Cornwall Council – Local Maintenance Partnership 2018-19.

17/121 Agreed date of the next meeting - Wednesday, 28 March 2018 at 7.30pm
