Draft Minutes of parish council meeting held on Monday, 11 September 2017 at 7.00pm in the Methodist Chapel Schoolroom.

Present: Mr Olsen (chair), Mr Atkinson, Mrs Richardson, Mrs Mossford, Miss Coates, Mrs Wright, Mr Kittmer, Mr Richardson, Cllr Owen, Cllr Evison

Apologies: Mrs Malcolmson, Mrs Whitfield, Mr Voase

An open meeting was held for the first 30 minutes as residents had attended to discuss various matters.

Proposed parking restrictions Main Street: Jackie Suthernwood had attended the meeting to speak regarding the proposed parking restrictions. Mrs Suthernwood was not happy with some of the restrictions proposed and would be putting in comments if and when it goes to consultation. Mrs Suthernwood commented that it is useful to have vehicles parking on Main Street as it acts as a traffic calming measure which would stop if they were no longer allowed to park. Heavy vehicles are causing houses to shake. Cllr Evison commented on the fact that although there are double yellow lines outside of the shops at present, delivery vehicles are allowed to park outside of the shops to deliver and also other vehicles can for a very limited period. The proposed restrictions would have no waiting and no loading restrictions at any time and delivery vehicles would then have to park at the side when making deliveries. If the restrictions are approved then there would be a period of embedding then after 1-month motorists would be ticketed if parking in no waiting areas.

Allotments: An allotment holder attended to discuss various matters regarding the allotments. A letter had been sent to all of the allotment holders at the request of one of the allotment holders regarding the weeds growing in some of the plots. The person attending the meeting thought that the letter should have only targeted the allotment holders who are not taking care of their plots. In the letter sent out it also referred to the pile of manure on the grass in the area where cars park. It was suggested that perhaps it could be rotated where the manure was dumped. The manure was originally only for a certain amount of plot holders to use but a new delivery is to be made and this will now be for all plot holders to use. A complaint was made regarding the grass cutting at the allotments. Someone had spoken to the contractor who had stated that the wrong grass cutting machine was being used. The grass is now going to be cut once per month from April to October. The clerk is to speak to the contractor. The allotment holder also complained about dogs being taken on to the allotments.

Planning application – Corner Farm: A resident from the Corner Farm development attended the meeting as he had noticed a sign attached to a lamppost advertising a planning application for his property. The clerk advised that the application was for the roof tiles to be changed as they were not the ones agreed as part of the original planning application. The resident was in agreement that they should be changed from black to red.

The meeting opened at 7.30pm. Councillors Evison and Owen left the meeting at 7.35pm.

Police update - PCSO Sharp, Humberside Police: The chair had asked the clerk to invite the Police to the meeting to discuss ongoing problems in the village. As PCSO Sharp had to be at another meeting the agenda item was moved forward. PCSO Sharp gave an update on the ‘ram raid’ in the village and advised that 2 people had been arrested for it. A burglary had taken place on Elmfield Drive last week. PCSO Sharp advised residents to make sure that all doors and windows of properties are closed and locked and sheds and garages have good security. PCSO Sharp advised that he had recently used a speed camera on New Road and found that speeding traffic was not an issue. He is going to contact the school and will take the children out with a speed gun. The play park vandalism was discussed. It was suggested that the parish council should look at installing CCTV cameras in the park. The clerk is to find out if there is any funding available to purchase cameras. Mrs Richardson asked the question as to whether this was allowed where children were playing and as long as there are signs up stating the fact that CCTV is in use and is being recorded then there isn’t a problem. PCSO Sharp advised that they have been installed in the village park where he lives. PCSO Sharp left the meeting at 7.50pm.

Minutes of the last meeting: The minutes were agreed as correct and signed by the chair.

Declaration of interest both pecuniary and non-pecuniary: None
