NSC response: “Our Go4Free project is funded via a Sport England grant (Community Sport Activation Fund) I secured around three years ago. The criteria for the fund was areas with low participation levels and also areas with high IMD scores (indices of multiple deprivation). Weston-Super-Mare met this criteria, in particular four of the wards in Weston had high IMD scores which also correlated with inactivity levels in the town. The inactivity data is based on national participation figures from the Active People Survey which can be accessed on the Sport England website. We were awarded the grant based on the application that was submitted and have agreed to deliver the project in line with this. The Weston boundary we identified for the purposes of the project did not include Puxton and Hewish and we are unable to change this.” PUXTON PARISH COUNCIL Puxton and Hewish 9.

DH !2 of !2 PUXTON PARISH COUNCIL Puxton & Hewish Clerk: Donald Hill 18 Mitford Slade Court, Mendip Road, Yatton, Somerset BS49 4JG Tel: 01934 835578 Mobile: 07774 125578 e-mail: [email protected] Minutes of the Meeting Held on Thursday 3rd November 2016 at 7.30pm in Village Hall Present: Clllrs Sue Popperwell (Chair), Amanda Edwards, Katy Wilson, Peter Penfold, Jim Sulley In Attendance: Cllr Tom Leimdorfer (NSC), Don Hill (Clerk) Public Attendance: 8 113/16 APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE None 114/16 DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST None 115/16 PUBLIC SESSION Puxton and Hewish are not included in the area where the NSC Go4Free benefit is available (this is a one-off £75 voucher that allows people to trial sport and exercise groups with a view to joining those suitable as part of a longer term exercise regime). This exclusion seems illogical when you realise that the parish naturally gravitates to Weston-super-Mare for shopping and social activities. It seems doubly illogical - and unjust - when you look at a map and note that Puxton is actually within the circumscribed Go4Free area. Cllr Leimdorfer offered to inquire into this and the Clerk was asked to research the reasoning behind the existing limit, to press for the inclusion of the parish within the Go4Free zone, and to include the matter as an agenda item for the December meeting. 116/16 REPORTS TO THE COUNCIL WARD CLLRS REPORT - Cllr Tom Leimdorfer. Amended Site Allocations Plan (re Core Strategy to 2026) to go to public consultation, then decision. Two sites in Congresbury have planning permission but there are no sites in Puxton. The West of England Joint Spatial Plan and Joint Transport Study covers plans to 2036. It includes a ‘garden village’ of 5400 dwellings between Banwell, Sandford and Churchill/Langford (immediately south of Puxton), plus a Banwell bypass to a new M5 junction 21A. This replaces a plan near Ashton that would have threatened the Green Belt. This will go to Public consultation. Planning appeals: The development in Sandford will go ahead, that in Banwell was dismissed. NHS Sustainability & Transformation Plan (STO) Details are due of operational revisions to Bristol, North Somerset & South Glos Clinical Commissioning Groups that will impact local hospitals. MENDIP VALE MEDICAL PRACTICE REPORT (via Tom Dally - visit www.mendipvale.nhs.uk for more) The MVMP family: Mergers mean revising when doctors will be working where, and integration of computer systems - to be completed by the year end. Recent staff changes are detailed on the website. New Build: After successful consultations, work is moving ahead. Ideas still welcome via the website. Updates will appear there as things progress. Flu Clinic: Bar the odd hitch - for which apologies have been offered - these clinics have gone well. WiFI: Live in Langford, due in St George’s. The new premises will also have WiFi. Hypnotherapy: Alison Becker is available in Langford’s Mendip Suite on Tuesday afternoons. Memory Cafe: St George’s hold Dementia information Cafés on the 2nd Saturday monthly; locally available information on dementia and support is provided. Consultations are also available and refreshments are offered. PUXTON PARISH COUNCIL Puxton and Hewish 117/16 MINUTES OF THE LAST MEETING Minutes of the Meeting held on 6th October 2016 were agreed and signed by the Chair. 118/16 MATTERS ARISING NOT DEALT WITH ELSEWHERE - None 119/16 POLICING AND TRAFFIC Crime: police.uk August reports one violence & sexual offence near the Palmers Elm lay-by and one public order offence at or near the Kara Farmhouse lay-by. PCC response re inadequacies of the police.uk system provided no comfort that crime information will improve.
