First of all, I must thank our staff for their continuing hard work keeping the village clean and tidy: Mr Jaquest (Cemetery), Mr Wain (Litter picking) and Sarah our Clerk. Also a big thank you our guest editor Tony Barker. The Parish council is responsible for a number of services, including lighting, verge grass cutting, youth club, dog bins, bus shelters, cemetery and keeping the village free from litter. This year replaced the old noticeboards and next year we have a number of the 140 street lamps that need replacing! We continue to support local groups with grants, supporting them to thrive, and it’s great to see so many things going on in the village. Have good read of Hartbeat and find out more! You are all welcome to come along to any meeting and see what’s going on and have your say at the start of the meeting during the Public section. We’re a friendly bunch of volunteers, elected by you to represent you, so please come along and help us keep our village a great place to live! Simon - Chairman 5 Remembrance Sunday Sunday 8 November at 10.55 am at the War Memorial followed by a service at St John the Baptist church Please note that Forest Road will be closed to traffic between School Lane and Church Close from 10.55 am until 11.10 am whilst the service takes place 6 Men of Hartwell - have you bought your copy? This book commemorates the men whose names appear on the Hartwell War Memorials and includes the other men known to have served. Over 60 pages of information including photographs of many of the men. The book costs £6 and can be obtained from: Angela Malin, 17 Swyncombe Green, Hartwell (862017) or Richard Wain, 3 Hillside, Hartwell. All profits will go to St John the Baptist Church Fabric Fund. 7 John Budden, District Councillor for Salcey Ward writes: When Martin Wilson (my predecessor) asked me if I would consider taking over as District Councillor, I thought long and hard about it. Ashton and Hartwell (Salcey Ward) are both good places to live, work and bring up children, so the question asked was can I maintain the standard or even improve it? Ashton and Hartwell have effective Parish Councils and the more I learn about Parishes throughout the United Kingdom your Parish Councils are shown to be very effective. We do not owe money to suppliers or traders and our meetings are well attended. South Northants Council (SNC) likewise has an excellent reputation. Some facts you may not be aware of – it has the lowest rate of unemployment in the UK, it collects 99.1% of all Council Tax when it is due, SNC is in the top10 Councils for recycling. Your Council Tax has remained static since 2010 (except for Government methods of operation). South Northants was voted among the top five best places in the UK. As everyone is aware, all government bodies must reduce costs over the next four years. SNC has a budget of approximately £10 million. They are reducing costs by working jointly with other Councils; saving money by sharing costs and personnel. The new Council Offices in Towcester called The Forum is a cost effective building which is intended to be paper free, ie. everything is completed on a computer. The Councillors don’t even have written minutes or agenda; it is all on a tablet – I am of an age when you swallowed tablets but not any more! If anyone has any matters they would like to discuss please contact me either by email at: [email protected] or phone on: 01604 862015. 8 Michael Clarke, our County Councillor, writes: Speed of communication plays an increasingly important part in our lives. Northamptonshire County Council has teamed up with BT to deliver Superfast Broadband to over 95% of the County’s Broadband users by 2017. This ambitious project is progressing well and one of my priorities as Hartwell’s County Councillor is to ensure that our parishes are offered the Superfast Broadband service as early as possible. This, I am pleased to report, has been delivered to Hartwell residents and I think those users who have taken advantage of it will have noticed an appreciable improvement in the speed of doing things online. Highways maintenance is also very important to us. Due to underinvestment over several decades and some record cold and wet winters over the past few years, the challenge is formidable. But the highways budget is one which I am determined to protect even in difficult budgetary times. We should not lose sight of the fact that we all need to use the roads, whether we travel by car, bus or bicycle. Highways works are ongoing in resurfacing and patching the road network. However, the work is like painting the Forth Bridge – for every three potholes that are dealt with, another two appear in other places. We have improved the quality of the work done in line with the Highways Maintenance Initiative of getting things right first time and delivering an improved standard of work, which is more durable. However, due to the significant backlog of work, we have to ask for people’s patience. Problems that are reported on the County Council’s “Street Doctor” web site get inspected and logged. It takes time to get everything done. 9 The role of the County’s libraries is changing. The libraries have evolved into local hubs to deliver a raft of services. Internet services and advice on things like business start-ups now complement the more traditional services of lending books, music and films. So despite the financial pressures and constraints placed upon us, we are working harder than ever to maintain and improve front line services.

    Notes for Members for Use at Annual Parish Meetings 2019

    1 Annual Meeting Notes Notes for Members for use at Annual Parish Meetings 2019 A Great Place to Live South Northants District continues to be ranked as one of the better places to live in the country. Unemployment is one of the lowest in the country although SNC runs a job club to help anyone get back into work. The waste and recycling record is one of which we remain proud and is the best in the County. But lost among all of that we had a successful year as SNC, the Brackley Pool was opened, we had visit from HRH Prince Harry to Silverstone, we had a successful commemoration lunch to mark the 100th anniversary of the ending of WW1. We also held dinners to celebrate the sporting achievements of Mercedes Formula 1 team who won for the 5th successive year, and we celebrated the success of Brackley Town FC who won a fairy tale final at Wembley to bring on the FA Trophy. As we move forward with LGR we are holding regular Parish & Town Clerks Forums, with alternate Forums including PC Chairmen. Local Government Reform (LGR) The past year has been dominated by the events at NCC dealing with the fallout from it. As we began the new municipal year in 2018 NCC had just issued a Section 114 Notice, the local government equivalent of a bankruptcy notice. Max Caller had reported in his opinion Best Value was not being satisfied and that such was the mess at NCC it was not possible to recover this in a sensible time period and concluded that the best thing to do was to have two new unitary councils.

Part 1: General Statement of Policy This document is the Health and Safety Policy of Shutlanger Village Hall. Our policy is to: a) Provide healthy and safe working conditions, equipment and systems of work for our employee(s), volunteers, committee members and hirers. b) Keep the village hall and equipment in a safe condition for all users c) Provide such training and information as is necessary to staff, volunteers and users. It is the intention of Shutlanger Village Hall Management Committee (SVHMC) to comply with all health and safety legislation and to act positively where it can reasonably do so to prevent injury, ill health or any danger arising from its activities and operations. SVHMC considers the promotion of the health and safety of its employees at work and those who use its premises, including contractors who may work there, to be of great importance. The management committee recognises that the effective prevention of accidents depends as much on a committed attitude of mind to safety as on the operation and maintenance of equipment and safe systems of work. To this end, it will seek to encourage employees, committee members and users to engage in the establishment and observance of safe working practices. Employees, hirers and visitors will be expected to recognise that there is a duty on them to comply with the practices set out by the committee, with all safety requirements set out in the hiring agreement and with safety notices on the premises and to accept responsibility to do everything they can to prevent injury to themselves or others.

    The Northampton Gateway Rail Freight Interchange

    The Northampton Gateway Rail Freight Interchange – Order 201X Local Highway Authority Response to Stage 2 Statutory Public Consultation Pursuant to Section 42 of the Planning Act 2008 and Regulation 11 of the Infrastructure Planning (EIA) Regulations 2009 Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for consulting Northamptonshire Highways as the Local Highway Authority (LHA) for Northamptonshire. This response is made without prejudice to any views expressed by other functions within Northamptonshire County Council, or those of Highways England with regard to the strategic road network. This response represents the combined comments of all relevant sections of Northamptonshire Highways, having consulted those teams internally. Transport Assessment The LHA has met the Applicant of the Northampton Gateway proposals and their highways consultants/engineers, along with Highways England, for some time as part of a Transport Working Group (TWG). This TWG has resulted in agreement over the likely traffic predicted to be generated by the proposed development (both light and heavy vehicles) over the course of a typical day, and in particular the peak hours on the highway network. A methodology for distributing the development trips on the road network is also agreed, based on utilisation of the County Council’s Strategic Transport Model, known as the NSTM. The NSTM has been further validated in the area surrounding the proposed development to ensure that it is fit for purpose as the basis for forecasting future traffic levels. In line with the Core Strategy Plan Period the future year for assessment purposes is 2031. Both the baseline and forecast NSTM models have been signed off by the County Council as fit for purpose.
