With night coming early And dawn coming late, And ice in the bucket And frost by the gate. The fires burn. And the kettles sing, And the earth sinks to rest Until next spring. Elizabeth Coatsworth 3 BROUGH PARISH COUNCIL. At our October meeting held on Thursday 17th. there was no public participation so we moved straight to the agenda. Matters arising from last months minutes. a).Cllr. McKenzie reported on progress finally able to be made on applying for grants towards the purchase of our own Cinema equipment. The required three quotes have now been received and applications for money will now begin. Our last film had an audience of 64 with 8 volunteers, which was excellent. b).Cllr. Brocklehurst enquired about storing the " yellow bikes" following the successful "Tour of Britain Cycle Race". An offer of storage space is being investigated. CCC and EDC Councillors. Cllr. Simpkins reported on EDC's consultation on a Supplementary Planning Document(SPD). The Housing SPD adds detail to policies in the Eden Local Plan. Cllr. Simpkins explained that Upper Eden has an aging population and an increasing shortage of smaller properties that are required for them. However we have a considerable supply of larger 4 bedroom properties. All information on this and other EDC matters can be viewed on their website. Cllr. Dew has been tackling Cumbria Highways on our behalf concerning repairs to the wall along Bayside. He wishes to be kept informed on this matter. He is still pushing for a winter resilience programme including warning signage and grit. Parish Plan. Cllrs. agreed to meet at Swanson House at the invitation of Cllr. Jones on 4th Nov. to discuss our plan for 2019/2020. Recycling Centre. Our Clerk has prepared a planning application for the proposed new site which will be delivered immediately. Grand Prix Services have kindly extended their deadline for the recycling to be moved, for which we are very grateful. Once we get approval, transfer to the new site will not take long. Devolution of Assets. Still no progress on anything. Trees on the Green and elsewhere. Cllr. Ellwood reported on potential costs of pruning or removing trees in the Parish. Very costly! We agreed to tackle the two cherries on CB green as priority and keep all others under review. Jubilee Orchard. Various ideas were expressed. All agreed that something must be done. Cllr. McKenzie will ask if help and support could come from experts at Acorn Bank and will report back. Christmas Lights. All agreed that Cllr. Ellwood will purchase some new sets of lights. Cllr.

The item in September’s The Way was seen by a chance visitor taking a break in Brough’s tea-room, phoned me from his home in South Wales and posted a number of used printer cartridges! Support comes from unexpected places. If you need bags for your offerings (and they DO appreciate it if their official bags are used) I have a large supply so please give me a phone call on 42135 to agree how you can collect them. Dave Williams BROUGH ALLOTMENT AND GARDEN SOCIETY A huge congratulations to all BAGS members for the fantastic progress that we have made since the inaugural meeting in January We started the year with half a field and have grown together to create 19 allotments which include 1/4 and 1/2 plots. There are now 23 tenants, over a dozen chickens and several sheds and greenhouses. Rabbit fencing is an ongoing project, our efforts so far have reduced the number of furry invaders. Each plot is developing and the site has become well established. The saplings planted by the Primary School Eco are beginning to grow. The open afternoon was successful and very well attended. The weather was good and the village and allotment community enjoyed it. Maybe this can become an annual event and a fund raiser alongside the Easter Rally Tombola. Special thanks to Joe for getting the fencing underway, to Max for the gazebo and music, to Ailsa for the camper van kitchen and to Pat for making us welcome at Swanson House. Over the next few weeks we will all be winding down for the winter. It’s time to enjoy the harvest, sit in front of the fire, make yet more vegetable soup and to browse through the seed catalogues! Look out for the BAGS bright yellow harvest box near Oak Tree Garden on Sunday mornings. You will find fresh vegetables etc from our plots. Any gardener is welcome to add to it, surplus fruit, too many tomatoes, flowers etc.
