10. TO AGREE THE MINUTES OF THE MARKET WEIGHTON TOWN COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON WEDNESDAY 29th APRIL 2015

It was proposed by Cllr Stellings and seconded by Cllr Peaks that the previous Minutes be signed as a true and correct record. AGREED.

11. ONGOING MATTERS AND PROGRESS REPORTS – TOWN CLERK

Folio 6890: The order for the defibrillator had gone in and had been paid for. Once this had arrived the money could be reclaimed from the ERYC.

Folio 6891: For information the Landlords Certificate and Report had been received along with the account from the Electrician for The Cemetery House.

Folio 6892: Pleased to report that the notice board ‘Perspex’ had been fitted by the Company who had originally fitted the board. The Community Shop had kindly donated the money to have this important job done.

Any repairs requested at the last meeting had been reported. The only response so far was that the ‘red square’ outside the Londesborough Hotel would not be done.

A Councillor asked if a response had been received from the ERYC about bollards outside the Co-op. The Clerk said no but would chase up.

A Councillor also asked if the tree outside the market had been reported as the roots were coming up quite badly. The Clerk said this had been reported but no response received as yet but that it would be chased up.

12. TO DISCUSS EMPLOYING A MARKET ORGANISER FOR THE MONTHLY SATURDAY MARKET

Signed by the Chairman 6903

This agenda item had been requested from the Communication and Events meeting on the 6th May. Councillors discussed this matter as some had never been happy about the use of current staff running the market. It was thought by some that the market could be boosted by a professional market organiser. The fact that the people who organise the Bridge market had been contacted was discussed. Cllr Rudd proposed and Cllr Cary seconded that a full debate should be held – Cllr Stellings asked for an amendment to make this an agenda item for the next meeting and that the people who ran the Humber Bridge market could be invited to speak then rather than in the public forum. AGREED. A Councillor had been at the market on Saturday and thought there were quite a few stalls but stallholders had said it was very quiet although regulars were happy with their customer base.

13. TO DISCUSS THE AUTUMN NEWSLETTER AND RELEVANT ISSUES

This agenda item had been requested from the Communication and Events meeting on the 6th May. A Councillor stated that there had been great difficulty with the summer newsletter and pointed out that to go for quality status the Town Council must have a newsletter. Some promised reports had not been forthcoming and it needed several Councillors to write articles. A Councillor asked if this should be reduced to twice a year but Councillors agreed that information going out to residents would then be well out of date. Councillors all agreed that the previous Editor – ex Councillor Frank Townshend – had done an excellent job of the newsletter and thanked him for all his hard work. A Councillor stated that there should be plenty to write about – perhaps going back to Councillor Profiles as many residents had said they did not really know who represented them. At the Communications and Events Committee meeting a ‘Do You Know’ article was suggested which would give a little history of the town especially for new residents. This was considered to be a good idea by most Councillors. It was thought that a new Editor could be appointed at the next Communication and Events Meeting.

14. TO CONSIDER CORRESPONDENCE RECEIVED BY MARKET WEIGHTON TOWN COUNCIL SINCE THE LAST REGULAR MEETING – 29th APRIL 2014

Discussion on representation of Market Weighton on the panel and Cllr Cary to liaise with the Clerk in order to get a letter sent to Karen Woods for passing to the Committee.

Cllr Johnson: Mentioned the yellow line up Hawling Road. This had been taken up but vehicles were parking causing obstruction and vision problems on a very narrow part of the road. After discussion the Clerk was asked to check with Highways (Paula Danby) as no one could remember a traffic regulation order for the lines to be removed. Signed by the Chairman 6909

Cllr Curwen: Mentioned ex Councillor Ken Macqualter’s retirement. All agreed that a collection and gift was appropriate. A small committee consisting of Cllrs Botting, Frith and Curwen were to hold a meeting to discuss an appropriate gift. A presentation at the Awards Evening was discussed. Cllr Curwen also mentioned the lighting channel across the market car park as this was getting worse. The Clerk stated this had been reported but Councillors asked for this matter to be chased up. Cllr Curwen also mentioned that the parking restriction notices for the Tour de Yorkshire were still up and the Clerk was to get the handyman to take them down but keep them for the East Riding of Yorkshire Council if they asked for them.

Cllr Chicken: Asked that disabled play equipment be put on the agenda for the Planning and Amenities Committee Meeting.

Cllr Peaks: Asked if there was an organisation that could help retired residents in private housing keep their gardens tidy? After discussion Help the Aged were mentioned but it was thought that perhaps a mention in the Newsletter in case any organisations do this type of work. Cllr Peaks also asked if the Craft Fayre on the 2nd May went well. This was discussed. Cllr Peaks also asked about digging up on Wicstun Way and Hawling Road as it was causing disruption. It was thought Yorkshire Water had done a job then the Gas Company.

Cllr Rudd: Stated he was pleased that the goal posts seemed to have been sorted out in the War Memorial Playing Fields.

Cllr Hemmerman: Mentioned about a resident working from home on Lambert Close. This was in order provided it caused no upset to neighbours. The situation was being monitored by Des Simmonds from ERYC.
