Close of Meeting – Meeting closed at 5.35pm Report of the Officers to a meeting of the TOWN COUNCIL on Monday 12th July 2010 AGENDA ITEM NO 8: - CEMETERY LOCKING-UP Reporting Officer: Bill Richards (01494 583824) Summary 1. To determine a position on the locking of the cemetery. Background Information 2. At the Recreation and the Arts Committee Meeting on the 7th June 2010, it was resolved ‘that the current locking procedure be continued and a meeting on future locking procedures be arranged involving officers; the Chairman of the Recreation and the Arts Committee; representatives of Sunnyside Road residents and the Friends of Chesham Cemetery; the police and the Chiltern District Council Community Safety team and the outcome of this meeting be brought before the Council meeting on the 12th July 2010.’ Financial Implications 3. The current amount spent on overtime unlocking the cemetery before 8.00am on a weekday, locking after 4.00pm and locking and unlocking at weekends and public holidays is £5,250. Strategic Objectives 4. Accords with the Council’s strategic aim 5 - To consult with and take due regard of all comments received from other statutory bodies, voluntary organisations and individuals, to ensure an improving standard of service that meets with local needs and aim 6 - ‘To represent the views and wishes of the citizens of Chesham’. Detailed Consideration 5. The Council will recall that a consultation exercise on whether the cemetery should be permanently unlocked was started in March and concluded on the 31st May 2010. The results of this survey were outlined in the report presented to the Recreation and the Arts Committee on the 7th June. The report for Members’ information is reprinted and attached. 6. Since the meeting of the Recreation and the Arts Committee, a formal letter has been received from the Neighbourhood Action Group stating its preferred option was for the cemetery to be left open permanently. Additionally the Friends of Chesham Cemetery held an Extraordinary Meeting on the 15th June to discuss this matter and voted by 9 votes to 1 to recommend the facility be left unlocked twenty four hours a day for a trial period during the summer months. 7. A meeting was held on the 1st July specifically to discuss the matter as requested by the Recreation and the Arts Committee. In attendance was Chiltern District Council’s Community Safety Officer; the Secretary of Friends of Chesham Cemetery; a member of Sunnyside Road Neighbourhood Watch; Councillors Mrs Littley, Holly (also Chairman of the Friends of Chesham Cemetery), Mrs Molesworth, Mrs Walker and the Town Clerk (Notes of meeting to follow.) 8. The Members present at the meeting will be able to feedback verbally at the meeting. However there was general agreement that using volunteers to lock and unlock would not be appropriate or workable and it was accepted that what anti- social behaviour did take place, occurred in the cemetery when it was locked in any case. It was also agreed that for financial and logistical reasons, it would not be able to make the facility entirely enclosed with appropriate fencing. The Community Safety Officer also opined that it was often the case that ‘locked’ facilities attracted anti-social behaviour rather than open ones which were accessible to other members of the public and the police. Accordingly it was agreed that the offer from the police’s Crime Reduction Officer to undertake a crime reduction audit in liaison with the Sunnyside Road Residents’ Association be taken up. Subject to there being no major issues arising from this audit as to the desirability of not locking the facility, it was the general view that the cemetery should be left unlocked for a trial period (length to be determined) while necessary further crime prevention measures be implemented following advice from the police. Those representing the Council were keen to emphasise to the Sunnyside Road representative, that they were committed to working with the Residents’ Association in respect of this. Recommendation That the Committee consider a trial period of 24 hour opening for the Chesham Cemetery for a length to be agreed. Report of the Officers to a meeting of the RECREATION AND THE ARTS COMMITTEE on Monday 7 June 2010 AGENDA ITEM NO: 8 - CEMETERY GATES LOCK-UP Reporting Officer: Kathryn Graves (01494 583798) Summary 1. To determine the times for locking-up the cemetery. Background Information 2. Following a period of long-term sick leave, one Parks and Premises Operative decided that he did not wish to continue with the 365 days a year locking and unlocking of the cemetery that he had previously undertaken for many years. Since that time, the unlocking has been undertaken by the Parks and Premises team before 8.00am, with locking after 4.00pm on an overtime basis. The current amount spent on overtime unlocking the cemetery before 8.00am on a weekday, locking after 4.00pm and locking and unlocking at weekends and public holidays is £5,250. 3. When this matter was last discussed, at the Recreation and the Arts Committee meeting of the 1st March 2010, the following options were suggested: (i) Maintain the status quo i.e. staff continue to unlock and lock before and after their contracted hours. Advantage: would mean the facility would still be unlocked and locked seven days a week.

  • Chiltern District Council Election Results 1973-2011
    Chiltern District Council Election Results 1973-2011 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.
