ATTENDEES: Cllr Heather Canfer DTM Cllr Robert Merrick Stan Anniss (HTCY) Francis Bosworth (FAB) Rosemary Coomes (SWiB) Stuart West (CTC) Trudy King (CTC)

1. WELCOME & APOLOGIES Cllr Canfer welcomed everyone to the meeting and apologies were noted from Jane Ross (Heritage Centre), Jennie Edge (Marden House), TM Cllr Glenis Ansell, Cllr Declan Boore, Maggie Garratt (Marden House), Sue Wallace (CEN), Mo Norrington (CARP)

2. NOTES FROM MONDAY 11TH MARCH 2019 The notes from this meeting were approved and there were no matters arising.

3. UPDATE FROM STUART WEST There have been some shortages with outdoor staff levels due to sickness and holidays but things are back to normal now. There will be a presentation from Bristol and Avon Rivers Trust at the Full Council meeting this evening, a report has been drafted to grant a maximum of £10,000 to enable work along the whole route of the River Marden. The majority of this money would be spent in Calne as this is the only town on the river. The re-modelling of the river would benefit the community positively. There followed a discussion about the mill pond at Quemerford, this is not currently open to the public due to the conservation of the protected wildlife. Also there are safety implications due to the boardwalk being rotten in places. Hopefully in the future the area could be opened for one day per year. Chilvester roundabout is looking very run down, Stuart will be contacting the sponsor Wilkins Builders to be involved with the re-landscaping, this would really help with increasing our community involvement. The weeds were sprayed some time ago but it hasn’t taken, this will be re-done. The Bug & Spider roundabout also needs to be revamped, it was suggested by DTM Cllr Merrick that Hills Developments should be approached to assist with this as it is next to one of their housing developments. There is a section 96 on the Tesco roundabout but we have neither the time or resources to develop this area.

4. UPDATE FROM TRUDY The Open Garden event has so far had limited interest from people wishing to open their gardens. There will be continued promotion to ask for support until the deadline of Friday 26th April. Unfortunately, if no-one else comes forward this event won’t go ahead which would be disappointing as the feedback was good. Cllr Canfer and Rosemary Coomes are not available to do a plant sale and Calne in Bloom raising awareness morning at the Calne Lion’s Duck Race. If anyone else on the group is able to help please contact Trudy, it is on Saturday 11th May between 9 and 1pm at The Wharf. Dates for judging of the gardens and allotment competition are required to enable any

Page 5 AGENDA ITEM 7.1 entrants to plan ahead. Rosemary stated that she would be able to judge, DTM Cllr Merrick stated that in his new Mayoral role he would like to judge, Cllr Canfer stated that she would not be involved as is stepping down from the Calne in Bloom working group in May. Trudy will be running children’s Calne in Bloom themed activities at the Summer Festival and Carnival on the afternoon of Saturday 29th June at The Wharf, currently no one on the group is able to help with this event. DTM Cllr Merrick suggested that the town twinning visitors could help. Anything further on this matter to be discussed with Erin Weaver, Events and Weddings Officer. The provisional date for the South West in Bloom awards this year will be Thursday 10th October in Newquay, Cornwall, the Calne in Bloom awards are to be arranged on a suitable date afterwards.

5. UPDATE FROM HOLY TRINITY CHURCHYARD Stan Anniss said that the grass has not been cut yet by the contractor. There are many blue and whitebells appearing along with primroses.

6. UPDATE FROM FRIENDS OF ABBERD BROOK The shrubs planted recently are doing well except one which has been removed. There is a good showing of daffodils around the pond. The teenagers in the junior division of River Warriors are all building a good relationship and things are going well. Francis has now stepped down as chair of the group but is still involved. Please note that the email address to reach Francis on is as follows:- [email protected] the FAB address is redundant.

7. ROSEMARY The primulas are exceptional this year so could 5 of each be planted into the perennial beds when they are removed from the planters.

9. ANY OTHER BUSINESS Prices will be sought to get sponsorship boards for Town Gardens, these would be able to accommodate 6 sponsors on each. This could enable the planting in the town to be almost cost neutral. Mark Edwards informed the group that the copse to commemorate the end of World War 1 is planned for 1.5 acres of land below Bowood View, there is planning, a lease with Bowood and the management plan all to sort out before the planting of the 500 trees by local school children.

Stan Anniss asked Stuart West what insecticides the council are using, Glysophate is used and this was discussed, Stuart advised that the relevant precautions are in place.

Next meeting – Monday 13th May at 11am

Meeting closed at 12:00pm

Calne Area Board Update Report – May 2019 Who we are  Calne Our Place (COP) is an independent, voluntary, non-profit making group working to make the Calne community area a better place for residents, businesses and visitors.  Calne Our Place is committed to the promotion of cultural, social, environmental and tourism opportunities in the Calne community area of Bremhill, Calne, Calne Without, Cherhill, Compton Bassett, Heddington and Hilmarton. Membership is open to any member of the Calne area community, whether they are residents or involved in businesses within the community area. Key achievements for this period have been:

1 Great West Way (GWW)

The first GWW travel magazine has now been launched during the English Tourism Week. It features 84 pages of informative articles and stunning photography. The Calne community area is well represented amongst these articles and photos. Logos of the GWW are starting to appear on the new road signage, (Note: Calne is the first town along the GWW to achieve this).

2 Leader grant projects

COP has been successful in securing a Leader grant of £34,554.80 for 4 specific projects:-

2.1 SIGNAGE

The first of these projects was for additional signage. As the photo shows, the new finger signs and display maps have now been installed around the town centre.

The justification for the additional signage was identified by a commissioned report in April 2017 by People & Places.

The cost of the signs was £10,537.20 and was mostly funded through the Leader grant (£10,322.40) with the remainder from Calne Our Place funds.

Upon installation, ownership of the signs was transferred to Calne Town Council.

1 Page 9 AGENDA ITEM 7.3

2.2. St. MARY'S CHURCH CCTV

The second project was for CCTV to be installed in St. Mary’s Church and linked to the town’s CCTV system.

The system was installed by the local company responsible for the installation and maintenance of the town’s CCTV system.

The rationale behind the additional CCTV was to allow St. Mary’s Church to be open to the public for longer, whilst still maintaining some level of security.

The cost of the system was £6,188.40 and was funded entirely from the Leader grant.

Upon installation, ownership of the CCTV system was transferred to the Calne Blacklands Parochial Church Council.

2.3. VIDEO

The third project involves the production of a professional video showcasing the Calne Community area. The work is being produced by a local company and will involve filming from Beckhampton through to Bowood.

The filming is on schedule, bearing in mind most of the filming outside will start in the next week or two due to the spring flowers being at their best. Filming has already been conducted from a drone flying in parallel with a flying microlight at Yatesbury. In addition, drone flying has also been conducted inside the Atwell Motor Museum as well as supporting ground filming. Filming has also taken place over several days last month on ‘Blue Sky days ‘of exterior shots around 'The Green' and the 'Heritage Quarter'. More filming will take place in these areas as more leaves grow on the trees.

The total cost of this production is £7,460 and is funded entirely from the Leader grant.

2.4. VISIT CALNE WEBSITE

The fourth project is the development and integration of the Calne website into the existing VisitWiltshire website. In a recent report by VisitWiltshire, it was stated that “the VisitWiltshire website, and the Visit Salisbury channel site, which we run in conjunction with Salisbury BID, received just under 3 million page views during 2018 as well as over 1 million users to the websites, which is a 5% increase on 2017”.

Work, by VisitWiltshire, is progressing well on the VisitCalne website that will be fully integrated with the VisitWiltshire website. The website is being optimized for SEO (Search Engine Optimisation).

The work is on schedule for completion by the end of May although more work needs to be done on the various platforms of social media.

The cost for this work is £10,584.00 and is being funded entirely from the Leader grant.

2 Page 10 AGENDA ITEM 7.3 3 Heritage

Work on the 2019 Heritage Week is almost complete with about 20 planned events. Plans are progressing for the Harris Tea Party (involving ex-staff members of the Harris factory) with the biggest emphasis on fund raising for this event. The theme of the Heritage Centre’s Summer Exhibition will be on Samuel Taylor Coleridge

4 Calne Community Copse

Calne Our Place is pleased to welcome this new community group into the Calne Our Place family. The project aims to develop a copse where around 400 trees will be planted to commemorate the WW1 locals who fell in the Great War of 1914 – 1918. The idea being that this copse could be central and easily accessed by footpaths.

Although Wilts Council has given grants to all the parishes to plant the trees, additional funds need to be secured to cover both the set-up and first year’s running costs. Hence, Calne Our Place has submitted a grant application, on behalf of the Calne Community Copse WG, to the Calne Area Board.

FREIGHT STRATEGY AND FREIGHT MANAGEMENT UPDATE

Background

Wiltshire’s Freight Strategy was originally adopted in 2000 as part of then Wiltshire County Council’s first Local Transport Plan (LTP). It was developed under a very different national policy framework than exists currently. At that time a Road Traffic Reduction Act had been introduced and lorry road-user charging was planned. These legislative tools provided the framework upon which to adopt bold policies for routing HGVs. The resulting Strategy for Wiltshire comprised a two tier system of HGV routing with a grid of strategic freight routes (M4, A303, A350 and A34 to the east of the county) supported by a network of advisory local lorry routes for access to the County’s towns. Under this policy, many A and B roads in Wiltshire were not designated as advisory routes for HGVs.

In 2008 the Freight Assessment and Prioritisation Mechanism (FAPM) was adopted in order to prioritise the many requests for freight management (environmental weight limits and restrictions on freight movement) in the county and identify those most in need of freight management and mitigation measures. In 2015, in line with the corporate objective to devolve decision making to our local communities, the area boards were asked to select their freight priorities for assessment under the FAPM.

The current situation

National transport policy has radically changed over the last 10 years and it has proven impossible to deliver the HGV routing aspirations within the Freight Strategy. This change has resulted in our road freight routing policies being out of kilter with current national polices and the local policies of other authorities, many of whom do not undertake freight management or impose weight restrictions on A or B class roads.

The FAPM has been successful in providing an equitable system for scheme prioritisation which has enabled the council to manage requests for freight management. However, recently, the prioritised schemes have been far more difficult to address and the resource implications of undertaking the necessary studies (surveys, data collection and analysis etc) have escalated. Furthermore, for many of the freight management priorities, the studies Page 13 CMCouncillorBriefNote 1 have shown that there is little scope to deliver mitigation measures and address the HGV issues.

Local Transport Plan and Freight Strategy Review

During 2019 the council will be preparing its fourth Local Transport Plan (LTP4) which will need to cover the Local Plan period between 2026 to 2036. As part of the development of LTP4 the Freight Strategy will need to be reviewed and replaced with a more realistic and contemporary approach that takes account of recent national transport policy changes, such as the advent of the Major Road Network (MRN) and the establishment of the Western Gateway Sub-National Transport Body, of which Wiltshire is part.

The production of LTP 4 and the review of the Freight Strategy will take time and resources. The sustainable transport team does not currently have sufficient resources to undertake freight management studies as well as develop and deliver LTP4 (involving reviews of all of the LTP strategies, including the Freight Strategy) and contribute to the development of the council’s new Local Plan to 2036. Furthermore, it is not appropriate to continue to use the FAPM to assess and prioritise freight management interventions as those interventions may not accord with the outcome of the review of the council’s Freight Strategy.

As such, the application of the Freight Assessment and Prioritisation Mechanism (FAPM) will be suspended until the review of the Freight Strategy has been completed. This will provide the opportunity to reflect on the FAPM’s effectiveness, evaluate the outcomes achieved using this process, and decide whether it is fit for purpose under the revised Freight Strategy.

The ongoing freight studies will be concluded but no further freight management studies will be commenced until LTP4 and the review of the Freight Strategy have been completed, which is likely to be in 2020.

AGENDA ITEM 9

GUIDANCE FOR PARISH AND TOWN COUNCILS ON RECEIVING AND THE USE OF CIL FUNDS

Introduction The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) was adopted by Full Council on 12 May 2015, with an implementation date of 18 May 2015. This means Wiltshire Council has now become a charging authority for CIL, and any planning decisions made on or after 18th May 2015 could be liable for a CIL contribution.

Charging authorities (Wiltshire Council) are required to pass a proportion of CIL receipts to Parish and Town Councils from developments that take place in their areas. This will be 15% of CIL receipts to relevant Parish and Town Councils that do not have a Neighbourhood Development Plan and will rise to 25% in areas with an adopted Neighbourhood Development Plan.

To prevent excessive amounts being paid, the payments to areas without a Neighbourhood Development Plan in place will be capped to £100 per council tax dwelling per financial year. This means that a Parish with 500 dwellings cannot receive over £50,000 of CIL receipts per financial year.

Annex A sets out the maximum amount that can be paid to each Parish and Town Council in Wiltshire who do not have a Neighbourhood Development Plan in place.

In areas that do have a Neighbourhood Development Plan the amount to be paid will be 25% with no cap and therefore, will not be shown on Annex A. Please note the Neighbourhood Plan must be made prior to the CIL monies being received by the local authority in order for the Town/Parish Council to benefit from the 25% levy payment.

How the funds will be paid CIL receipts are to be paid to Parish and Town Councils on the following quarterly basis:-  Paid in April to cover CIL monies received in the previous January – March;  Paid in July to cover CIL monies received in the previous April – June;  Paid in October to cover CIL monies received in the previous July – September;  Paid in January to cover CIL monies received in the previous October – December.

Authorisation for the above payments will be requested in the first week of the Quarterly period to be paid. Once authorised the CIL team will send an email to each Parish / Town Council who are due to receive a payment within the quarterly period.

Payment will be made by BACS. If not already done, Please provide the bank account details of your Parish / Town Council to [email protected] so that records can be updated to ensure prompt payment of CIL receipts.

How funds are to be spent CIL Regulations state that this proportion of funds must be used ‘to support the development of the local area by funding

(a) The provision, improvement, replacement, operation or maintenance of infrastructure; or

(b) Anything else that is concerned withPage addres 15 sing the demands that development places on an area.’

This gives Parish and Town Councils considerable freedom to spend their proportion of CIL on things that address the impacts of developments on the area.

Examples include:  Improvements to village hall  New / improved play areas  Provision of affordable housing  Preparation of a Neighbourhood Development Plan (providing it addresses the demands that development places on the area)  Planning Application Fees – monies can be used towards a planning application fee that relates to community proposals.

This is a wider definition of how Wiltshire Council can use CIL funds (restricted to infrastructure to support the development of the area). These wider spending powers allow the local community to decide what they need to help mitigate the impacts of development.

If a Parish / Town Council has failed to spend CIL funds paid to it within 5 years of receipt or has not applied the funds in accordance with the CIL Regulations, then Wiltshire Council can serve a notice on the Parish / Town Council requiring it to repay some or all of the receipts paid. Wiltshire Council will be required to spend any recovered funds in the Parish / Town Council’s area.

Reporting

Parish and Town Councils that receive CIL must prepare an annual report detailing CIL funds received and spent.

To ensure transparency Parish and Town Councils must publish the following information each financial year:

 Total CIL receipts;  Total expenditure;  A summary of what the CIL was spent on;  Total amount of receipts retained at the end of the reported year from that year and previous years.

Reports can be combined with reports already produced by Parish and Town Councils and should be placed on your websites and a copy of the report should be sent to the following email address at Wiltshire Council [email protected]

Please note that the initial CIL payment due may be subject to change if it is subsequently determined that the development is deemed to be entitled to self-build exemption and/or social housing exemption. This may depend on a change in the assumption of liability.

As the developer has 3 years to implement a planning permission and the large CIL Liabilities can take up to 2 years to be paid in full, please be aware it may take up to 5 years for all the of the CIL Liabilities to be paid and passed to the Town / Parish Councils.

CIL Regulations allow the Charging Authority (Wiltshire Council) to make and implement a CIL Liability Payments Policy which is shown in the table on the following page.

Major county clean-up gets

underway

A major clean-up of the county’s town centres is now underway following Wiltshire Council’s recent award of government funding.

The Council was awarded a £86,956 share of £9.75m from the government’s High Streets Community Clean- Up Fund to back efforts in cleaning up the county's town centres.

Cleaning got underway in Amesbury on the 1 April 2019 and will take place in all the county towns throughout April.

The funding gives local authorities an opportunity to do more, encourage communities to take greater pride in their local area and support campaigns such as Keep Britain Tidy's Great British Spring Clean campaign, running until 23 April and, National High Street Perfect Day a new community-led clean-up day to help make high streets look their very best.

The funding, which was used to purchase equipment for community group use with supporting services such as waste collection, was only available in April 2019.

Wiltshire Council thanks all the groups that made contact and agreed to support the initiative.

To follow the success of the scheme please visit the Webpage www.wiltshire.gov.uk/highways-streetscene - enhanced-services which contains all the photos from the many events.

We will hold four Sparkle Days every quarter in all the Wiltshire Towns.

Their purpose is to add that extra bit of sparkle to an area.

Many activities will take place during each Sparkle Day. For instance, roads and paths will be swept, signs will be cleaned, shrubs tidied, etc.

The table below shows where and when each Sparkle Day will take place for May:

Additional weed control Wiltshire Council is making improvements to the way they tackle weeds in towns residential areas and villages.

In recent years, weed treatment on hard landscape areas has been undertaken by the parish stewards. However, this year, the Council is arranging an additional weed treatment package across the county. The parish stewards can still undertake weed treatment if this is the local councils wish.

The Council is investing £70,000 in this improvement programme which includes changing the way spraying is undertaken to a touch control system. Treatment will be undertaken by a mobile vehicle with a covered management system.

While it is not possible to prevent weed growth altogether, this new initiative will ensure improvements to the quality and coverage operation.

The treat ment is currently planned for June. However, more details will be issued through next month’s Newsletter.

Discretionary gully emptying

Wiltshire Council recognises the desire for the local towns and parishes to address blocked gullies that we deem to be a low priory by Wiltshire Council.

A number of trials have been carried out this year to assess the opportunities available to allow the town and parish councils to address these discretionary gullies.

The highway gully service must be focused on the highway provision; however, the council operate an inhouse drainage service which can empty gullies. The Council has invested £80,000 in the drainage service to increase the capacity and undertake more discretionary work. The capacity is limited but will allow local communities more access to get discretionary highway gullies emptied.

Where local councils have identified gullies that require emptying, reported them on the MyWiltshire System but have been advised that the request is a low priority, they can send a request for a discretionary gully empty to their local engineer, quoting the MyWiltshire reporting number.

The Flood Working Groups will be asked for their priority discretionary gullies and these will be the Council’s top priority.

Regrettably, the discretionary service cannot be delivered where there are traffic management requirements on sensitive roads. Page 27 Photos of the work completed will be contained on the link: www.wiltshire.gov.uk/highways-streetscene-enhanced-services

Additional £70,000 for clearing

Wiltshire Council ditches

Wiltshire Council has invested £70,000 in JCB highway maintenance ditch digging work across the county.

The equipment will be used by our highways team for routine ditch digging maintenance including drainage works on Wiltshire Council responsible waterways.

The Council continues to consider how we provide our services to see if they can be delivered differently to meet the needs of our local communities.

By investing in this service, not only are we providing the right tools to our staff to carry out the work whilst improving our highway maintenance service, we are reducing water related damage and flooding risk.

Increased spending on major

road litter picking

A programme of litter picking commenced in early March to remove litter from the major roads in Wiltshire including

the A36 and A303.

All major roads in the county will be litter picked over a twelve-week period. A second programme of litter picking will commence in

May/June during the main road verge cutting.

A third programmed litter pick is planned for the early October to remove litter from the major roads in Wiltshire including the A36 and A303.

Match provision of litter bin

replacements

We are looking to work in partnership with the local towns and parishes to replace any Wiltshire Council litter bin in their area that may be damaged or nearing the end of its life.

To supply and fit a litter bin costs circa £200. There are various options for match funding. This could include: sharing the costs of providing a replacement bin; the council supplying the bin with the town/parish replacing the bin, etc. To discuss the options please Pagecontact 28the council at [email protected].

Recent highway works

February 2019 ] Wiltshire Council received £7,358,000 additional highway maintenance funding from the Department for Transport (DfT) in 2018/19. The funding was for the repair of potholes, to keep local bridges open and safe, as well as to help aid other minor works that may be needed.

This funding is being mainly used to repair potholes and carrying out surfacing work to prevent them forming. It is also delivering improvements to road markings, signs and other highway asset improvements. Together with other funding received from the DfT, the Council’s own funding and contributions from town and parish councils through the Community Area Transport Groups (CATGs), it has enabled a number of significant repairs and locally important improvement schemes to be delivered in recent weeks.

These have included pothole repairs, road surfacing, new footways, dropped kerbs, road safety improvements, pedestrian schemes and new bus shelters. Some pictures of this recent work are shown in this document.

Page 30

£500,000 Investment in velocity

patcher works

This is where a lorry has a high-velocity air system which is used to remove dust and debris from the hole. A cold bitumen emulsion is forced into every crack and crevice, sealing the defect and protecting it by preventing the ingress of water. The aggregate mix is fired at high velocity through the delivery hose, evenly coating the granules with bitumen emulsion.

Due to the process (tar is wind borne) it is not suitable for urban locations, but ideal for rural locations.

The funding this year has been almost doubled to £500,000.

£500,000 Investment in overrun

highway repairs

The rural grass verges can be damaged by large vehicles, or by vehicles leaving the paved surface to pass other vehicles. This is particularly a

problem during wet weather. A programme of verge repair and hardening

has been taking place during 2018, and an expanded programme will take

place during 2019 to address those sites with the most damage.

Additional £300,000

investment in lining

A programme of lining improvements on rural roads and at junctions will be carried out in 2019. This will concentrate on locations where lines are fading or being worn away and there are increasing safety risks, especially at junctions.

A schedule is currently being identified for work during the summer months.
