Welcome and Introductions Councillor Hetherton welcomed everyone to the meeting and thanked everyone for their attendance. She apologised that she would need to leave the meeting due to another commitment and that Cllr Thomas would take the Chair. 2. Update from Local Policing Team – Inspector Suzanne Baker and Sgt Lee Froggatt Discussio n: Sergeant Froggatt reported that burglary figures for the ward are down this year. In relation to recent incidents he reported that: • the Police were still investigating damage to cars in the Eastern Green area but had not identified anyone responsible yet; www.coventry.gov.uk/wardforums Action Notes • Stop and Search is being used when appropriate to address issues including those that are drugs related; • the cause of the explosion on Tuesday night is still being investigated but is not currently thought to be suspicious. He reported that the Travellers at Bush Close had been moved on and the information provided by residents had helped the Police achieve this. Sergeant Froggatt stressed the importance of residents continuing to report any concerns related to these or any other issues to the Police via phone or email. The Woodlands Neighbourhood Team can be contacted via Telephone: 101 ext 7933 6334 or email: woodlands@west- midlands.pnn.police.uk . Residents raised concerns about speeding in several places on Broad Lane including opposite Jardine Crescent. Sergeant Froggatt reported that the Police had recently carried out spot checks on Hockley Lane but had not identified any significant problems. He will carry out monitoring on Broad Lane and report back. Councillors agreed to look into the possibility of siting speed activated warning signs. Inspector Suzanne Baker explained that West Midlands Police are carrying out a consultation on the use of their buildings. The Force has a very large estate with 146 buildings in The West Midlands and nine in Coventry. There are significant financial pressures on the Police and looking at the best use of buildings is part of that. The review is being carried out across the whole Service and the final decisions will be made by the Police and Crime Commissioner. The Tile Hill sector house, which was a caretaker’s house for the College, is one of the Coventry buildings that is not fit for purpose, costs a lot to run and has many health and safety issues which need addressing. The local neighbourhood team are now working out of Canley and Inspector Baker reported that this has improved flexibility and working with neighbouring teams. Coventry Central and Foleshill are also old, very costly to run and not fit for purpose. However, they house a lot of staff, both city and service wide and are well located. Inspector Baker asked everyone to complete the feedback forms and say what they felt the impact of the proposals would be, the role of buildings in engaging the public and how the public can engage with the Police more effectively in the future. The Police would also like views on central and city wife issues, not just Woodlands Ward. The consultation will run from September to November and the outcomes will be submitted to the West Midlands Police Command Team and the Police and Crime Commissioner in December. www.coventry.gov.uk/wardforums Action Notes Action Lead Deadline Carry out speed monitoring on Broad Sergeant Froggatt Report back at next meeting Lane Review the possibility of installing Ward Councillors Report back at next meeting speed activated warning signs on Broad Lane Reply to consultation on Police All Residents November Buildings 3. Coventry Wardens Network – Ann Wilson Discussion: Coventry Tree Wardens Ann Wilson talked about the Coventry Tree Warden Network and the work being done to protect and promote trees In the City. They are developing a network of wardens who are undertaking a wide range of activities. The network has the opportunity to bid for funds that public sector organisations like the Council cannot access. Forms to register were available at the meeting for anyone wishing to join the Network and more information is available on their website at: www.ctwn.org.uk Action Lead Deadline n/a n/a n/a 4. Wheeled Bins on Pavements – Andrew Walster Discussion: Andrew Walster, Assistant Director Streetscene and Greenspace attended the meeting to discuss some of the issues that have been raised about problems with wheeled bins being left on pavements. He explained that where there are problems, the service is keen to work with communities to find solution. Bins being left out are usually a symptom of other problems e.g. blocked back alleyways - so we have helped residents clear these. Some residents associations have worked with local people to solve local problems together. The ultimate power available to the Council is a fixed penalty notice but this would be a last resort. Bin collection takes place between 7.00 am and 4.30 pm, but the Council accepts that some people will need to put bins out the night before and may not be able to bring them in until later in the evening. Residents raised a number of concerns: • Bushberry/Tile Hill Lane where the flats have purpose built bin stores but bins are often left on the pavements. • Flats at Sutherland Court and throughout Mount Nod. Andrew acknowledged that there are different access arrangements for the www.coventry.gov.uk/wardforums Action Notes flats and the Council is working to resolve problems there. • Westwood Court - bins left by the crews after collection block the pavement causing problems for people with visual impairments. • James Green Road where several bins are being left out. Andrew asked that any areas of concern should be raised by contacting Coventry Direct on 024 7683 4333. He reminded residents to report any problems where parked cars could limit bin lorry access. Where cars are parked on double yellow lines the Council can enforce. If cars are causing an obstruction or safety problems, the Police will enforce. Action Lead Deadline Look into issues raised regarding bins Andrew Walster As soon as possible 5. Feedback on recent Community Events Discussion: The meeting acknowledged the success of recent community events including: • Allesley Green May Day Fun Day (5 May) • Tile Hill Community Day (11 July) • Bannerbrook Park Community Day (12 July) • St Oswald’s Summer School (11-15 August) There are two events coming up this weekend to which all are welcome: • Tile Hill’s Got Talent on Saturday • Fresh Air is Free Festival on Sunday Action Lead Deadline n/a n/a n/a 6. Coventry City Council and Having your say Discussion: Andrew Walster explained that between 2010 and 2016 the Council’s government funding will have been cut by nearly a half. The number of people working for the Council has reduced by 1500 and more posts will be cut. This makes it even more important that we use officer time and Council money as effectively as possible. Reviews are taking place across the Council to achieve this. This includes reviewing the effectiveness of the ways the Council engages with residents, including ward forums to make the best use of dwindling resources. The review will examine the how many people are attending, whether they reflect the make-up of all people in the city etc. It will also include looking into which are the most cost effective ways to engage residents. No decision has been taken yet but residents were asked how they would engage with the Council if there wasn’t a ward forum. www.coventry.gov.uk/wardforums Action Notes In the discussion that followed: • it was acknowledged that much of the Woodlands Ward is covered by active residents associations • some said they would go direct to local Ward Councillors – they have their contact numbers and already do this • there were also comments in support of the forums and the value of face to face contact – particularly that it’s not possible to have the same relationship and feedback through social media. Action Lead Deadline Comments made at the meeting to be Adrian West asap included in the review 7. Coventry Local Plan – Jim Newton Discussion: Jim Newton from the Council’s Planning Department explained that all councils have to prepare a local plan which sets out their approach to planning and development. The plan will identify places where new homes and facilities can be built. He explained that the Plan is about growing the city to keep wealth here for the benefit of the whole city. The Plan sets out three scenarios for meeting Coventry’s housing need. The current period of public engagement runs from 12 September to 31 October and more information and an online form for comments is available at www.coventry.gov.uk/localplan . You can also contact the team by email [email protected] or on 024 7683 4295.

    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. Most public libraries across the UK subscribe to ODNB, which means that the complete dictionary can be accessed for free via a local library. Libraries also offer 'remote access' which makes it possible to log in at any time at home (or anywhere that has internet access).

  • 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.
