John Izett - The Basingstoke and Dean’s element of council tax will go up next year by £2 for a band D property. This is the first increase for six years and it is expected to go up by around £5 pa (band D) for each of the three years thereafter. The local plan for the period up to 2029 is still chugging on but will hopefully be approved in May. 6.

The green Gym will be on the common on 15 February clearing holly in the area to the south of Woodcote. The second winter working party will be Sunday 21st February in the same area. Horris Hill have applied to Hampshire County Council for permission to lay a BT cable across the common alongside the track to the school. The parish council in its role as Manager of the common was happy to support the school’s application. The Chairman had advised Hampshire accordingly. Heatherfield and Newtown Grange had asked permission to dig out the ditches at the side of the track to their properties and Woodlands to try and divert water away from the track and the footpath which has become very muddy. Permission was granted. 904 ACTION b) Contribution to Sparsholt’s costs ACTION At the last meeting the parish council agreed to make a contribution towards Sparsholt’s costs. Sparsholt felt the most useful contribution would be a new chainsaw and the model the students use costs £520. The sale of firewood alone has been £455 this year and the students have done a great deal of work. It was agreed that the council should make a gift of a new chainsaw to Sparsholt College. c) Letter re common management The Chairman and Liz Ellis had received an email from a member of the Common Management Committee raising concerns regarding the management of Newtown Common, in particular the HLS plan.

Permission was granted. 9. Finance reports a) To receive the report on the budget for 2015/16 Parish council - The projected outcome for the year indicates an excess of expenditure over income of £1,358 which will be covered by reserves. HLS Scheme - Due to the re-scheduling of grants on to a calendar year basis the second HLS payment of £1850 is unlikely to be received until June. The projected out-turn assumes two days of mowing will take place before the end of March and takes into account the purchase of a chainsaw for Sparsholt. b) To consider the draft budget for 2016/17 The draft budget was discussed and the increase to the clerk’s hourly rate of pay to £10.836p per hour (in line with the national salary award) was approved. Assuming the precept was kept at the same level it showed an over spend for the year of £1,792 which would be covered by reserves. The budget was agreed c) To set the precept for 2016/17 and agree the amount of general grant to be requested It was resolved not to increase the precept this year and to request from BDBC a precept of £3,500 and a general grant of £1,100 for 2016/17.

Village Hall The village hall was discussed as there appeared to be a problem with the heating. The clerk agreed to look through recent emails which might include Clerk information on grants for community buildings and forward these to the Village Hall Committee. 12. Parish assembly Agreed the Parish assembly will be held on Friday 22nd April 2015. Tony Webb undertook to prepare the first draft of the annual Newsletter in time for Tony Webb the next meeting. 13. Donation from Horris Hill The Chairman and Tony Webb had recently had a meeting with representatives from Horris Hill. The view was expressed that although historically relations between the school and the local community had been close, in recent years they had become somewhat distant. The school wished to promote a closer relationship particularly with the 800 year anniversary of Newtown coming up and offered to donate £5,000 to Newtown Parish Council on 1st March 2016 and, in addition, starting on 1st September, donate a further £1,000 per annum for 10 years.

For reporting crime, call 101 or go to the Hampshire police website www.hampshire.police.uk. Community Priorities The current neighbourhood priority is Burglary. A residential property in Cannon Heath, Overton, was broken into during daylight hours and jewellery was stolen. An electric bike was stolen from a garage in Ecchinswell. Some facts about burglaries (sources in brackets). Most burglaries take place between 10am and 3pm. (Safestyle UK) The average burglary lasts for eight minutes. (Dr Claire Nee, Unviersity of Portsmouth) Many burglaries are ‘spur of the moment’ decisions by a burglar who notices an open door, open window, valuables on display or some other weakness. (Thames Valley Police) The vast majority of burglars will want to avoid meeting the home’s occupants at any cost. (The Independent) A burglar may typically examine many houses before finding one that looks like an easy one to steal from. Homes with no security measures in place are five times more likely to be burgled than those with simple security measures. Good window locks and strong deadlocks can make a big difference. In most burglaries, the criminals broke into the house or flat through the door, either by forcing the lock or kicking it in.

  • Representing: What Do You Want Ofcom to Keep Confidential?: Ofcom May Publish a Response Summary: I Confirm That I Have Read
    Representing: Self What do you want Ofcom to keep confidential?: Keep name confidential Ofcom may publish a response summary: Yes I confirm that I have read the declaration: Yes Ofcom should only publish this response after the consultation has ended: You may publish my response on receipt Additional comments: There is an error in Annex B. (Local DAB build-out plans) in the 11C/South Hampshire document, which on page 19 of 22 refers to Kent rather than Hampshire. Question 1: Do you agree with our approach of matching DAB to FM within defined editorial areas? We will seek comments on specific editorial boundaries via separate consultations if and when specific changes are proposed.: Broadly I agree with this approach, however in North West Hampshire we are not well served with local radio and travel news as both BBC Berkshire and BBC Solent tend to ignore this area. Changing the editorial boundary of one of these service, and therefore the coverage area of one of the local muxes would therefore be beneficial in this area (Highclere/Ashmansworth). I'm in favour of Case 4, adding 11C South Hampshire to the Hannington Transmitter for this purpose. Question 2: Do you agree with our approach to determining the extent of existing FM coverage, and which of the three field strength levels should be used to define the FM coverage that DAB should match?: Question 3: Do you agree with our approach to determining the extent of existing DAB coverage, and its relation to the approach we take for FM?: Yes Question 4: Are the assumptions we make about needing to predict DAB in- vehicle coverage for 99% of the time and for 99% of locations the right ones?: Yes Question 5: Should the principle of merging editorial areas be explored, as a way of improving coverage?: Yes - this approach should be explored in order to reduce impact on listeners when travelling between editorial areas.
