Welcomes and Introductions Councillor Hetherton welcomed everyone to the meeting and thanked everyone for their attendance. 2. Actions from previous meeting Discussion: The notes from the previous meeting were agreed to be accurate. A number of actions from the last meeting were discussed: www.coventry.gov.uk/neighbourhoodforums Action Notes Conclusion: Roadworks were raised as a concern; Councillors explained that the timing of the road works taking place was due to the timescales related to the funding being used to support the works. Inconvenience at the moment will be worth the changes taking place to make the city one residents can be proud of. Works will take place during the night where feasible. Jardine Crescent and Ponder Road works which residents and Cllrs have been pushing for will be part of the package of works to take place this year. A notice for road closures needs to be issued ahead of works taking place, this notice will be published on the 1st April and be valid for a year, but all works will not commence on the 1st April 2014 and will take place during that 12 month period. Residents will receive letters if works will take place in their area and Councillors receive copies of these letters as well. It was confirmed there would also be some funding available to improvement pavements. Actions form the last meeting - a) Developments on Brookstray – flooding issues and erosion. b) A new Flood Risk Manager and Drainage Manager have been appointed at the Council and they have recently undertaken site visits across a number of locations. Environment Agency also came along to the Brookstray and confirmed there is no quick fix. Council does acknowledge there is a long standing issue with flooding. Flooding is due to surface water, rather than culverts. Some of problems further downstream are due to erosion of the Brook, and some work is underway to asses who own this adjacent land. c) Banner Lane/ Broad Lane have also suffered from flooding due to surface water. Surface level drainage is being discussed. Funding being considered is from 2015/16. There are planned works for an island to improve pedestrian safety, ideally the road works and drainage should be addressed at the same time, but this is dependent on availability of funding. Cllr Thomas and other Councillors were thanked by residents for their work in relation to this issue. d) HS2 – national debate going on. Councillors will continue to lobby on behalf of Coventry citizens, it would be a shame if the city lost the current frequent service to London Euston, e) Traffic on Broad Lane – right turn at Wing Wah towards the south - Following a petition served by Cllr Thomas the Council are seeking funding from the new funding cycle in 2015. Cabinet Member has agreed this work will be included in the new round of funding bids. f) Juniper Park – there is a petition in circulation in relation to the park and required improvements in relation to dog fouling. www.coventry.gov.uk/neighbourhoodforums Action Notes Action Lead Deadline Residents raised concerned about All ward Councillors Feedback at next meeting the state of Park Hill Drive – which Councillors have agreed to follow up. Councillors to follow up works taking All ward Councillors Feedback at next meeting place at the bottom of Park Hill to understand what is being developed. 3. Credit Unions – Greg Smith – Vicar of St Andrew’s Church Discussion: Greg attended to discuss the role of Credit Unions and how they provide an opportunity to save on a regular basis, and get access to loans on more sustainable better rates than pay day loan companies. New Central Credit Union is based in the city centre, but is exploring with the Church the possibility of setting up a collection point in St Oswald’s Church (possible Friday morning). This will require volunteers to support the collection of money. Credit Unions will provide training to volunteers. When details have been agreed, these will be included in the The Link. An advice centre also runs from St Oswald’s, so this ties in nicely. Small amounts of money will be collected and the security requirements are being considered and finalised. There will always be a minimum of two people staffing the collection points. Conclusion: Anyone who is interested in volunteering should contact any of the Councillors who will forward details to Greg. Action Lead Deadline n/a n/a n/a 4. Update from Local Policing Team – Sgt Lee Froggatt Discussion: More visibility in the Community has led to a number of arrests following thefts. One has been sentenced and charged and one is due to be in court soon. Recovered a car that was stolen in a burglary a few months ago. Burglaries continue to reduce as has Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB). Need to keep on top of this as the weather picks up and nights get lighter. Keep as vigilant as possible. A lot of burglaries that happen are due to properties being insecure. Key concerns are shop and personal robberies. There have been some robberies that have taken place on Broad Lane, several incidents, with the victims being elderly females during the afternoon. The Police do not want to cause unnecessary panic, as these are still rare, but would like to ask residents to be extra vigilant by changing www.coventry.gov.uk/neighbourhoodforums Action Notes routes, walking on main roads and where possible go out with others. A number of shop robberies have happened – Co-op stores – targeted more than once, with several thousands of £s being stolen. This is happening outside Coventry. If you see anything strange please report it. Use of ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) cameras – Police are considering installing these across the city to pick up cars that have been stolen, no road tax, used in a crime etc. Sites A45 – by Allesley turn off by Park Hill Drive – will pick up all lanes of A45, travelling in and out of the city. This will help with investigations and would help with the burglaries at the Co-op etc. Toll Bar Island already has cameras, but these are monitored by Warwickshire Police and are monitored all the time. Cameras would be installed about 20ft in the air and look like traffic cameras. Residents raised some concerns about: Rogue traders in the Mount Nod area from a roofing company who have been harassing residents to have work done. Police are monitoring this along with Trading Standards. Reports of companies like this should be raised with the Police or Councillors. 2-3 weeks ago, there was a man going round in a white van, claiming to be from Sky, which he was not. Any concerns like this should be raised with the Police. Residents raised concerns about a van parking dangerously, if residents are concerned they can raise this with the Police. If there is a Civil enforcement issue (eg parking on double yellows) is the Council’s Parking Enforcement Team. Police confirmed there is still a drinking ban on Jardine Crescent, the woods at the back of Roberts always have beer cans littered there. This is from two adults (not young people) who live in the flats. Police will follow this up. Police have introduced a newsletter that will be mainly e-mailed, but will also be available as a hard copy. This covers Woodlands and Whoberley. In 12 months’ time, the Sector House will close. In the meantime the Police will trial Police Surgeries, with two members of the team present (1.30- 3pm) every fortnight in Tile Hill Library. There may be other locations/ times across the ward, depending on the success of the one in the Library. Mainly for raising concerns, rather than reporting crime. Posters will be dotted across the city and notices to be in the library. Non emergencies should be reported through 101, Emergencies should be raised using 999. www.coventry.gov.uk/neighbourhoodforums Action Notes Vandalism in the play area of Allesley Park has now led to cameras being installed. Some arrests have taken place in relation to this crime. Conclusion: Residents are supportive of the installation of ANPR cameras. These are not speed cameras, but will support the reduction of crime. If people are not happy about these cameras then they should raise concerns with West Midlands Police or the Councillors who will feed these views back. Action Lead Deadline n/a n/a n/a 5. Coventry Sports Strategy – Paul Breed, Steve Wiles Discussion: Cllr Hetherton introduced the Sports Strategy, with which she has been involved. Paul Breed – Chief Executive of Coventry Sports Foundation has been working with the Council, Coventry Sports Trust and other partners over the last 18 months to develop a Sports Strategy for the city.

    Coventry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography is the national record of people who have shaped British history, worldwide, from the Romans to the 21st century. The Oxford DNB (ODNB) currently includes the life stories of over 60,000 men and women who died in or before 2017. Over 1,300 of those lives contain references to Coventry, whether of events, offices, institutions, people, places, or sources preserved there. Of these, over 160 men and women in ODNB were either born, baptized, educated, died, or buried there. Many more, of course, spent periods of their life in Coventry and left their mark on the city’s history and its built environment. This survey brings together over 300 lives in ODNB connected with Coventry, ranging over ten centuries, extracted using the advanced search ‘life event’ and ‘full text’ features on the online site (www.oxforddnb.com). The same search functions can be used to explore the biographical histories of other places in the Coventry region: Kenilworth produces references in 229 articles, including 44 key life events; Leamington, 235 and 95; and Nuneaton, 69 and 17, for example.

  • Linking Your Business Into the Energy-From-Waste and Bioproducts Supply Chains, and Beyond
    FUSION Linking your business into the Energy-from-Waste and Bioproducts supply chains, and beyond 1 2 FUSION Foreword The West Midlands has long been a centre of innovation and production; generating new ideas, products and technologies since we led the world’s first Industrial Revolution. Our region’s strong manufacturing base today is, in-part, a reflection of our rich industrial history. With so many world class products made here, we face mounting pressure to modernise our production processes and find sustainable energy and waste-management solutions. This pressure has helped to drive our Low Carbon sector, making it the most productive sector in the West Midlands, with GVA per employee far outstripping the national average. The huge potential that Low Carbon has in our region has prompted me and my team to take a number of actions to support the sector. Our recently-launched regional Industrial Strategy has set a number of targets to help low carbon businesses and organisations meet their full potential. This includes a commitment to clean growth – aimed at inspiring innovative new approaches to energy generation, storage and transmission. The Fusion Guide, produced by the European Bioenergy Research Institute (EBRI) at Aston University, offers regional businesses a way of linking into the Low Carbon sector. With Energy-from-Waste and Bioproduct supply chains expanding rapidly, businesses need to be made aware of the wide variety of specialisms that our region has to offer. The Fusion Guide does a brilliant job of making this process easier for businesses, and I commend EBRI for their work.

Chairman’s Update Welcome to the first meeting in 2021 of the Finham Parish Council. Happy New Year. Let’s hope everything improves for everyone in 2021. One good sign is the spread of the Covid 19 vaccination, which I received yesterday and a very efficient set up it was, Cathie and I were in and out in less than 15 minutes and that includes 10 minutes rest time after the jab to detect if there were any immediate aftereffects. Before we start the meeting tonight, I would just like to wish many happy returns of the day to our Clerk, Jane Chatterton who is 50 today which I hope she won’t mind me announcing to everyone. Hopefully this leap in age will qualify her for the Covid 19 jab a little earlier now she is in a more elderly age category. 101.

  • Issue 27 Allesley Mag Christmas 2018 Website Version
    2 2018 will be remembered as the year of fractious disagreement in our country. The protracted disagreements regarding Brexit and the ongoing impact of austerity have sometimes created an ill-tempered national mood. Also, life seems often overly busy, too chaotic and frequently impossible! Ironically, the digital age has not provided humanity with more available time but rather has diminished our capacity to unplug and relax. If there is one comment that I repeatedly encounter it is people telling me that they have insufficient time. The busyness of life is robbing people of the opportunity to step back and reflect on life’s meaning. There is more to life than increased GDP, favourable trade deals and access to the latest technology. We celebrate Christmas not just because Jesus is born but because it shows us that God wants to be with us, to connect with us and be known by us. In the Old Testament God lived in close proximity to the Israelites, never far from his people. God is closer than we realise. Christmas is a time when this reality comes into sharp focus. The birth of Jesus reminds us of God’s invitational heart to the whole of humanity. He does not come in power, he is not born in a palace. God does not force himself upon anyone, either through argument or violence. Rather, God in Jesus, returning to his people, shows a God who has come to humanity to love and serve. My prayer this Christmas is that we will all reconnect not only with family and loved ones but with the deeper realities of life.

  • The Rt Hon Robert Jenrick, PC, MP Secretary of State for Housing
    The Rt Hon Robert Jenrick, PC, MP Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government 4th Floor, Fry Building 2 Marsham St London SW1P 4DF [email protected] cc: [email protected] Dear Secretary of State, re Call in, 2500 Homes at Kings Hill, Warwickshire W 18 / 0643, Coventry Highways application FUL/2018/0842 CPRE Warwickshire letter of 7 Feb 2020. I am writing to ask you to call in the application for 2500 homes at Kings Hill W 18 / 0643, recently granted permission by Warwick DC, [and the linked Coventry Highways application FUL/2018/0842 ] . 1. the homes aren't needed; the latest population evidence shows the population growth of Coventry has been vastly overestimated. It is not growing twice as fast as Birmingham, three times as fast as Solihull, and four times as fast as Warwick. All the real time indicators show that growth is only average, not hyperspeed- births, school admissions, voters, car registrations, gas and electricity usage, pension and benefit claims, mobs, housing starts, domestic waste produced are the same as in neighbouring towns. 2. This application, is a symptom of a wider regional problem: In our area,(NAME YOUR OWN AREA ie Allesley Green, Eastern Green, Hawkesbury, Keresley……………..) we have seen land taken from green belt and allocated to housing for the same reason – to accommodate alleged unmet need in Coventry. These include 3600 homes at Eastern Green, 3100 homes at Keresley, 550 homes at Coundon, Hawkesbury Golf Course 380, School Lane 220, Hospital Lane 398, and the others shown on the CPRE map.
