Morton Parish Council Morton Parish Council At a meeting of the Parish Council held in the Rectory Rooms on the 16th March 2011. Informal Session. Police. The crime figures have been received from PCSO Gary Green and there was one recorded crime in Morton during January that was in respect of one incident of criminal damage on Westwood Gardens. There were no reports of nuisance made within Morton during January. There were two recorded crimes in February relating to one theft on Church Lane and a burglary on Pilsley Road. A request was made for further information regarding the theft on Church Lane as no one present knew anything about this incident. PC Andrew Cropper gave a verbal report to the meeting and confirmed that the initial activity on the road safety campaign with motorists on the A61 near Stonebroom School had been a success; a similar campaign will be launched in Morton in the near future. Also, two people have been fined for fly-tipping following information that was given to the police by local people, which is excellent news. It was reported that there had been two males in the Village visiting properties and saying that they were Jehovah’s Witnesses; it was felt that these people may not be genuine and the police noted this. There is a lot of litter in the Village at the moment and it was agreed that Councillor Edson will approach Morton Primary School again in order to try and arrange another litter pick involving the local school children. Unfortunately there is a growing problem with motorbikes and quad bikes again on the old colliery tip and the police are doing what they can to minimise the impact of this nuisance that may also lead to a serious accident if it continues. There are cars parking, and blocking the pavement, near the entrance to the Corner Pin Public House; there is also a problem with a vehicle parking on the bad bend outside the Old School Room. These problems will be passed on to PCSO Gary Green for his attention. PC Cropper and PCSO Sweet were thanked for their attendance and left the meeting at this point. District Council. Councillor Cooper reported that the Strategic Alliance with Bolsover District Council is now taking shape and the Chief Executive at North East Derbyshire District Council is leaving on Thursday 24th March 2011; there are a number of other senior managers leaving and with effect from the 1st April 2011 there will be a joint senior management team across the two authorities headed up by Wes Lumley who is currently the Chief Executive at Bolsover District Council. Each authority will keep its own identity and after the first year there will be anticipated savings in the region of £500,000. Councillor Cotterill reported that there is now a new Neighbourhood Champion for Rykneld Homes for Morton and her name is Josie Davies. County Council. There was no report as Councillor Lewis was not in attendance at the meeting. 103/11 Members Present. Mrs M. Hawkins, Mrs E.R. McCullough, Mr W.H. Edson, Mr A. Cooper, Mr A. Coates, Mr C. Lawton, Mrs B. Roe, Mr D. Cotterill and Mr S. Cashin (from item no. 107/11). Also in attendance were Mr P. Goodwin - Clerk, PC Andrew Cropper, PCSO Stephen Sweet and 3 members of the public. 104/11 Apologies. County Councillor Mr B. Lewis and Mrs A. Holmes - District Councillor. 105/11 Councillors Absent. None. 106/11 Declaration of Members’ Interests. There were no declarations made in respect of any of the agenda items. 107/11 Items from members of the public. It was reported that there were vehicles parking in an inconsiderate way again on Evershill Close and it was agreed that this matter should be reported to Josie Davies who is the new Rykneld Homes Neighbourhood Champion. Apparently there appears to be an ongoing problem with the reliability of the bus services within Morton; as some of these are subsidised by the County Council this problem will be raised with them by the Clerk for their investigation once specific details have been provided to him i.e. date, bus route number, advertised time and time of arrival. Trees that have been brought down by the heavy snowfall in December 2010 block part of the footpath between Morton and Stonebroom and the Clerk will arrange for this obstruction to be removed. 108/11 Non-Exempt Minutes - 16th February 2011. RESOLVED to confirm as a correct record the Non-Exempt Minutes of the meeting held on the 16th February 2011. 109/11 Items in Exclusion. There were no items to be taken in exclusion. 110/11 Clerk of the Council’s Report. Fly tipping - the Clerk has not had any further information in this respect and Councillor Cotterill agreed to follow this matter up again with the District Council. This is specifically in respect of the fly tipping that still needs removing from under the bridge on Higham Lane and now also on Station Road near to the Corner Pin Public House RESOLVED to note the Clerk’s report. 111/11 Matters for Decision. 2 a). Adam Gunby and Councillor Cashin - Youth Activities in Morton. Everyone present introduced themselves to Adam and he then proceeded to deliver an interesting verbal report about the work that he and others have been carrying out within Morton; Adam is one of 6 Village Games Co-ordinators across Derbyshire funded by the Community Support Trust for a fixed period of 3 years. The aims and objectives are to engage local people in activities and hopefully by the end of the 3-year project some of these will be self-sustainable. A number of possible new activities were discussed and it was agreed that ‘taster’ sessions should be held and these will be advertised throughout the whole Village by the means of a leaflet drop. Councillor Hawkins thanked both Adam and Councillor Cashin for the success to date with the activities that have already been arranged and also their ongoing commitment to making this project a success. Councillor Cashin then gave a report on the work that he has been doing to find out the likelihood of obtaining funding for the provision of further play equipment for children and young people in Morton. A lot of effort had been put into this concept a few years ago without success but that is not to say that there wouldn’t be a different outcome this time around. Discussions have taken place with Brian Morris from North East Derbyshire District Council and he has agreed to provide some assistance in terms of trying to identify the best possible sources of funding; initially, at least, it is felt most beneficial if the Parish Council lead this Project. A detailed discussion then took place about this idea, the need for wide ranging local consultation and the fact that it would be most helpful if the Parish Council could make a 10% contribution towards the cost of the work. RESOLVED that Councillor Cashin should pull together a small group of interested local people, including Councillors, in order to start this process off and that around £5,000 should be committed towards the possible provision of a play area/Multi Use Games Area as the Parish Council’s contribution in order to give this Project the best possible chance of success. b). Dog fouling in the Village. This issue was discussed in some detail and it was agreed that as an initial step some large notices for display should be obtained highlighting the problems that are caused by dogs fouling public areas and the owners not clearing it away. The general view was that there are plenty of dog waste bins for people to use in the Village and it is a change in behaviour that is required rather than an increase in the number of bins. RESOLVED that Councillor Cooper will try and obtain some posters for this purpose from the District Council c). Request for financial assistance - Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre. The Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre has written to request financial assistance towards their holiday programme for disadvantaged children in 2011. RESOLVED that a grant of £25 should be made to the Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre. d). Request for financial assistance - Derbyshire Coalition for Inclusive Living. The Derbyshire Coalition for Inclusive Living has written to request financial assistance towards the work of their organisation in support of disabled people. 3 RESOLVED that a grant of £25 should be made to the Derbyshire Coalition for Inclusive Living. 112/11 Finance. The following payments have been made :- a). Payee.

Generally speaking, people of faith are not inclined to blow their own trumpets. This report in its calm and methodical way, simply shows the significant work quietly going on through the buildings and individuals making up our faith communities. Such service to the community is offered out of personal commitment. At the same time, it also deserves acknowledgment and support from those in a position to allocate resources, because grants to faith communities are a reliable and cost effective way of delivering practical help to those who need it. Partnership gets results. This report shows what people of faith are offering. With more partners, more can be offered. David Hawtin Bishop of Repton and Convenor of the Derbyshire Church and Society Forum I am especially pleased that every effort has been taken to make this research fully ecumenical in nature, investigating the work done by churches of so many different denominations: this makes these results of even greater significance to all concerned. I hope that a consequence of churches collaborating in this effort will be an increased partnership across the denominations in the future. Throughout their history Churches have been involved in their communities and this continues today. In the future this involvement is likely to result in increasing partnerships, not only with each other but also with other agencies and community groups.

    Public Agenda Item No. 4(b) DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL MEETING OF CABINET MEMBER – HIGHWAYS, TRANSPORT AND INFRASTRUCTURE 14 June 2018 Report of the Strategic Director – Economy, Transport and Environment OBJECTIONS TO THE DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL (TIBSHELF, BLACKWELL AND STONEBROOM VARIOUS STREETS) (WAITING RESTRICTIONS) ORDER 2018 (1) Purpose of Report To consider objections following the public advertisement and consultation on various Traffic Regulations Orders (TROs) at four locations, two in Tibshelf, one in Blackwell and one in Stonebroom, and to recommend that the Order be made as advertised. (2) Information and Analysis Officers have received requests from County Councillors and members of the public for new waiting restrictions or amendments to existing waiting restrictions in the Tibshelf, Blackwell and Stonebroom areas. These are set out below. In Tibshelf, double yellow line waiting restrictions were requested on West View at its junctions with Raven Avenue and Doe Hill Lane, to prevent parking and improve visibility for both vehicles when carrying out turning manoeuvres and for pedestrians, including school children when crossing the road. Officers also took this opportunity to apply a TRO to the existing School Keep Clear markings on West View which allows them to be legally enforced. A petition was received from members of the public requesting that the existing 20 minute time period applied to the parking bays on High Street, Tibshelf be increased to 1 hour. The necessary signage required for the limited time parking restrictions (Mon Sat 9am-6pm) on Brooke Street and Hardwick Street in Tibshelf to be enforceable, had been subject to repeat episodes of vandalism.

  • North East Derbyshire District Council on Council Size
    ELECTORAL REVIEW OF NORTH EAST DERBYSHIRE Submission by North East Derbyshire District Council on Council Size 1. Introduction This submission sets out the Council’s response to the Local Government Boundary Commission’s invitation to put forward a case for Council size. The issue of Council size is a key factor in determining the scale of the Further Electoral Review (FER). Under the LGBCE guidelines if either of the following conditions are found to exist, then consideration is given to the need for a review:- Any local authority with a ward that has an electoral variance in excess of 30%. This means a ward having at least 30% more (or less) electors in it than the average for the authority as a whole; and/or Any local authority where more than 30% of the wards have an electoral variance in excess of 10% from the average for that authority. In North East Derbyshire one ward (Renishaw) currently has an electoral variance in excess of 30% of the average. The Council’s submission was considered and approved by the Full Council at its meeting held on 5th September, 2016. 2. Overview of Council Size Submission The Council’s submission addresses, and supports with evidence, the questions posed in the three broad areas contained in the LGBCE’s technical guidance on governance arrangements, scrutiny functions and the representational role of Councillors in the local community. The detailed evidence of the Council’s size submission is set out in Appendix 1. The last periodic review of electoral arrangements in North East Derbyshire conducted in 1999 maintained the existing Council size at 53 members but reduced the number of wards from 26 to 25.
