CHAIRMAN'S REPORT The Chairman reported on the following issues: Itchen Valley Country Park: Following a Members’ meeting with the Countryside team, £400 had been allocated to ground works at West End Copse, £300 had been set aside for the Forest School volunteers to claim expenses and £470 had been allocated to improve signage and litter management. The Area Committee had also allocated £18,000 in its Community Investment Programme to underwrite the cost of new visitor interpretation panels and displays for children visiting the High Barn information centre. 1 2 The Green Flag assessors had visited the park on Wednesday 26 May 2010 and it was hoped that green flag status would be renewed later this year. CCTV Camera System: £2,000 had been allocated from the district centres budget to fund the cost of upgrading and camera lenses for the CCTV camera system serving West End village centre, covering the High Street and Chapel Road. Cranbourne Park Green Consultation: The Chairman was grateful to Councillors June and Peter Hughes and Councillor Jane Welsh, who had supported the recent consultation with Cranbourne Park residents on the provision of a goal post on the central green. It was understood that there had been a very successful “streetmeet” where local Members were able to talk directly to residents about their concerns. The conclusion of the consultation was that the goal post and kick-about screens would not be installed on the green because of the fear of anti-social behaviour and visual impact. Instead, the mini goal units had been offered to Hedge End Town Council so that they could be installed on the far side of the Rodaway recreation ground. New Youth Shelters: After months of waiting, the Chairman was very pleased to confirm that the three portable youth shelters ordered by this Committee had now been installed. It was understood that the police were very pleased with the first few weeks of their operation as they had been able to monitor young people and encourage them to congregate in the youth shelters rather than in more public locations or play areas. Members’ Meeting: The next Members’ meeting was scheduled for 6.30pm on Monday 21 June at the Civic Offices. The agenda was yet to be circulated but was likely to include attendance by Hampshire County Council transport engineers and with representatives from Southampton Primary Care Trust about future proposals on the Moorgreen Hospital site. Environmental Improvements: An order had been placed to supply new heritage style seats and bins in Botley Square. A further four benches were to be installed in West End village and Hedge End in response to requests made by elderly residents. 4. AREA CO-ORDINATOR'S REPORT The Area Co-ordinator reported on the following issues: Transport Scheme Initiatives: Work had largely been completed on the provision of a pedestrian refuge on Moorgreen Road which gave a safer access to the West End surgery. Contractors had made a start on the £120,000 pedestrian-controlled crossing scheme on Tollbar Way. Borough engineers were supervising the scheme, which would provide a safe pedestrian link between the 2 3 Marks & Spencer Retail Park and Hedge End Retail Park and McDonald’s restaurant. An Arun shelter had now been installed on West End Road close to the Chalk Hill junction. The shelter, funded by public transport initiatives at a cost of £6,000, meant that all bus shelters in the West End parish were now Arun style, which had a much lower maintenance cost. Challenge Project – Fairthorne Manor: Eleven young people between the ages of 8-12 years had successfully completed this year’s Fairthorne Manor challenge project. The 12 week project had culminated in an overnight camp and all the young people had received certificates and vouchers to acknowledge the completion of their course. The course had been run in partnership with the police, the youth offending team and Hampshire County Youth Service, with £1,000 funding from both southern Area Committees. The Committee was grateful to the Hamble Valley Rotary Club, members of which had presented certificates and vouchers to all those who had completed the course, so that all eleven young people would be able to attend summer camps at Fairthorne Manor.
