Currently, the path is in a very poor condition with very little work carried out by D R A theF T District Council. Councillor Hodgson indicated that it currently does not meet the standards for a good quality cycleway and would require considerable works to be carried out. However, the Parish Council indicated it would be happy to support the principle and details would be submitted to the District Councillors. The Clerk was asked to contact the District Council as the weeds on verges around the village are becoming overgrown and there did not appear to have been any spraying undertaken. 2009/05 Police Matters On or near M1 Services Other theft x 3; Drugs x 1; Anti Social Behaviour x 1; All other crime x 1 Maltkiln Drive Violence & sexual offences x 1 https://www.police.uk/pu/your-area/west-yorkshire-police/wakefield-north-east-and- rural/?tab=CrimeMap 2009/06 Yorkshire Sculpture Park Helen Featherstone reported the process of reopening after being closed for four months. There is now a pre booking system being operated which has much reduced capacity from the usual to comply with test and trace. On site there are a maximum of 2,500 people, whereas on a peak August bank holiday weekend, YSP could previously have expected up to 6,000 visitors. The cost is now price per person rather than price per car. She was pleased to report that they have maintained the residents’ pass. The Weston, Longside Gallery and the Chapel are not yet opened; these will be part of a phased opening plan over the coming months. There will be no new exhibitions. There is a loss in income of about £1.3m as YSP usually accrues reserves for over winter but this has not been possible this year. Members thanked Helen for her report and 1 commented that the new pricing system was working well for the village as parking was much improved and it was useful being able to book as a resident to walk in the Park. 2009/07 Bretton Hall No updates at the present time. Regular meetings with YSP will recommence in Autumn. 2009/08 Highways Issues The kerbs on the pavement area to the front of Estate House have been repaired. It was noted that the movement of commercial traffic on Bretton Lane appears to be improving with an absence of foreign traffic and more usage of Sycamore Lane. The issue of speeding through the Village was discussed and it was noted that the highway works to carry out safety improvement works at the junction of Bretton Lane (as per letter dated 19 December 2019 and copy of the proposed alterations from WMDC) had made little difference to the speed with which vehicles travel onto Bretton Lane. It was also noted that the decommissioning of the existing Variable Messaging Sign located on Huddersfield Road and replacement with a new up-to-date VMS in a more suitable location had not been actioned either. 2009/09 Minutes of the Parish Council meetings held on 9 March 2020 and 10 August 2020 It was proposed by Councillor Smith, seconded by Councillor Watson and resolved that the minutes of the meetings held on 9 March 2020 and 10 August 2020 be accepted. 2009/10 CLERK’S REPORT 2009/10.1 Updates arising from the minutes: 2003/11 – Feasibility of siting a tree on the wide grass verge on the A636 at the approach to the roundabout.

The Clerk was asked to contact the contractor, Pascon, to ask if their donation of £200 to the village could be transferred to the Parish Council bank account and be ring-fenced to be used when a more suitable suggestion could be identified. 2008/03(e) Annual Governance and Reporting statement – an email has been received from the External Auditors, PKF Littlejohn, indicating that all is in order with the final accounts for the year ending 31 March 2020.

  • West Bretton Parish Council Chairman's Report 2019/2020
    WEST BRETTON PARISH COUNCIL CHAIRMAN'S REPORT 2019/2020 Introduction Over the past year the Parish Council has met in the village hall once a month, with the usual exception of August. We were also unable to meet in April due to restrictions put in place due to the COVID-19 emergency. We are happy residents attend our meetings and time is set aside for them to raise issues and ask questions. The Parish Council filled two vacancies arising after the May election so that the council has its full complement of six Parish Councillors. Highways Issues relating to highways continued to feature regularly in the business of the Parish Council during the past year. Further damage to a resident's boundary stone wall at the junction of Bretton Lane and Huddersfield Road caused by vehicles turning at the junction raised continued concerns about the number of HGVs using Bretton Lane. A meeting took place in October with officers from the highway authority to identify the status of proposed road safety improvements. No progress has been made in reducing the speed limit on Huddersfield Road to the south of the village and the highway authority are having second thoughts about imposing restrictions. In December the parish council was consulted on safety measures at the junction of Huddersfield Road and Bretton Lane. The road markings associated with this scheme have now been laid and we await the proposed associated variable message signing. The Parish Council continues to respond to residents' concerns on highways issues and monitors progress by maintaining an action plan, updated regularly, where issues raised are identified and progress in resolving them is monitored.
