Wymondley Parish Council 1 WYMONDLEY PARISH COUNCIL Minutes of the Meeting of the Council Held at Wymondley JMI School On Monday 14th October 2019 at 8.00 pm Councillors Present Also Present Mr M Alcock Ms C Kerby (Clerk) Mr T Dean County Cllr Mr R Thake Mr C Jones 3 members of the public Mr G Seller (Chairman) Item Action 073 To receive and accept apologies for absence Apologies were received from Cllrs Foster and Gilbert (out of the country); Cllr Griffiths (training course); and District Cllrs Davies and Tyler (NHDC meetings). Mr Hawkins also sent his apologies in relation to Agenda Item 087. 074 To receive declarations of interest on items on the agenda The Chairman reminded councillors that where they had a direct or indirect pecuniary interest in ‘any contract, proposed contract or other matter’ they must disclose it and take no further part in the relevant proceedings. None were declared. 075 To receive petitions, comments and questions from the public Mr Carter had several points to raise regarding the Community Orchard and Garden, which were covered at Agenda Item 081. Ms Ward mentioned that there was overgrown vegetation in Priory Lane, which blocked drivers’ view from the left when they were turning right into the Lane - and which appeared to be a matter for Herts Highways. Mr Howard enquired whether there was anything that could be done about large HGVs using Priory Lane, as there were issues over the Railway bridge height restrictions; and an incident that day where one got stuck under an oak tree in Tower Close. Again, these were matters for Herts Highways in relation to signage and weight restrictions on similar roads in the vicinity. County Cllr Thake advised that vehicles were entitled to use the Queen’s highway and could not be denied access for legitimate purposes. HCC therefore had limited powers to act; and the police dealt with obstructions. 076 To confirm the Minutes of the last Council Meeting, held on 9th September 2019 It was unanimously resolved that the revised Minutes be agreed as a true and accurate record of the proceedings, and duly signed by the Chairman.

The consultation ran from 16 September to midnight on 10 November 2019. See: www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/intalinkpartnership The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) was leading a joint consultation with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) on extending 5G mobile provision in rural areas. The consultation document could be downloaded here: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/proposed-reforms-to- permitted-development-rights-to-support-the-deployment-of-5g-and- extend-mobile-coverage The Police were consulting on the use of mobile fingerprint scanners on the streets - which enable them to definitively identify an individual and compare against the Police National Computer. (This helps in situations where they need to identify individuals that are suspected of offences or may have fallen ill and suffered a serious injury.) Views could be provided via: https://pro54337768.meetingsphere.com/2h7aftkkrkcy. The Hertfordshire Countryside and Rights of Way (CROW) Team: had been reorganised, with the result that Nicholas Maddex was no longer dealing with Wymondley and other parishes in North Herts. His colleague Andrew Burton had taken over that patch, together with Graveley and Great Ashby. The Hertfordshire Rights of Way Map, showing over 2,000 miles of rights of way in the county, was now available on Googlemaps at: www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/rowmap Launched in September, it is believed to be one of the first developed in the country, and the map can be loaded onto a smartphone - making it easier for users to follow their Initialled:…………. 4 position on the map as they go. It was developed by HCC’s CROW and Web-team and will make the county’s rights of way much more accessible and help promote them to new digital audiences. It supports the goals of the new Local Transport Plan with its emphasis on active travel - and is intended to encourage more people to improve their health and well-being by getting out and active in the countryside. Footpaths: Bushes and brambles have been cut back along Footpath 8, (Buck’s Head to Little Wymondley Recreation Ground); and the regular mowing contractor would shortly be strimming the surface through the field. Footpath 23 (Arch Road to Grimstone Road) had been surfaced in line with the Council’s Parish Paths Partnership (P3) grant request, and feedback from users had been very positive. Grimstone/Siccut Road Parking Issues: For some time, the Clerk had been involved in exchanges between County Cllr Thake, Cllr Griffiths and the Highways Liaison Officer (HLO), regarding potential plans to remedy parking and over-run problems in the vicinity of Grimstone/Siccut Roads. A site meeting to discuss options for possible Highways Locality Budget (HLB) funding was scheduled for 10 October; and County Cllr Thake advised that there were funds available to undertake, (by March 2020), work proposed by the HLO to resolve over-run issues. This related to the triangular island at the junction of Siccut and Grimstone Roads; and aimed to formalise the over-run area for large vehicles (e.g. the local bus, refuse vehicles etc).

  • Notes and Memoranda on Some Hertfordshire Churches at the Beginning of This Century. Mr
    29 Notes and Memoranda on some Hertfordshire Churches at the beginning of this Century. BY H. R. WILTON HALL. Mr. Cussans twenty years ago wrote:— "At Essendon Place is preserved a large collection of local sketches, the value of which it would be difficult to over estimate. They were made about the year 1797, by a schoolmaster of Tewin, named Pridmore, and are bound in nine thick volumes. The collection consists of coloured views of nearly all the Gentlemen's Seats in the 30 S. ALBAXS AND HEliTs ARCHITECTURAL AXD ARCHvKOLOGlC AL SOCIETY County; all the Churches, and principal monuments within them, together with objects of antiquarian interest, such as old stained glass, windows, rood screens, fonts, etc. One volume is devoted to the Coats of Arms of Hertfordshire families. These volumes bear witness to the fearful destruction of ancient monuments which has taken place during the last eighty years. Modern restorers have as much to answer for as the popularly abused soldiers of Cromwell, destroyers as they were. It seems incredible that scores of Churches in this County, which now possess as much Archaeological interest as the waiting-room of a railway station, should less than a century ago have been rich in brasses, stained glass, and exquisite carvings in wood and stone : yet such is the case."* In the year 1884, Baron Dimsdale allowed the Rev. Dr. Griffith to have copies taken from the collection, relating to his Parish of Sandridge. It was my good fortune to try my hand at making these copies for Dr. Griffith, and I thus had an opportunity of examining this Collection of Views to which Mr.
