BRANXTON PARISH COUNCIL Parish Council website: www.branxtonvillage.weebly.com Minutes of the Parish Council Meeting held on Tuesday 11th December 2018, In Branxton Village Hall at 7p.m. Highways- Parish Councillors considered the information regarding the height of fences/hedges on the edge of the Highway and agreed, they would like to remind residents that any fences/hedges over 1mtr high on the edge of the highway require planning permission. Budget & Precept 2019/20- Parish Councillors considered the current year’s expenditure and agreed to increase the precept by £100 in2019/20, as there has been no increase since 2016/17 and additional funds may be required to replace a litter bin. Parish Councillor R Neill proposed and Parish Councillor I MacGregor seconded that the precept for 2019/20 will be £900, this was agreed. Litter Bin- Parish Councillor I MacGregor informed the meeting that he had been approached by a resident asking if the old open topped litter bin next to the seat at the grass area could be replaced. Parish Councillors agreed the Clerk contact Northumberland County Council and ask them for a recommendation on what type of litter bin should be purchased and enquire how often the bins in Branxton are emptied.

Road Signs- The Chairman informed the meeting that a few months ago the Parish Council raised concerns with Northumberland County Council about the safety of the northern junction into Branxton when heading south from the A697, and Northumberland County Council had said they would look at the signage. He concluded by saying new signage has been erected which appears to be an improvement.

Date of the next Parish Council Meeting will be held on 12th March 2019 at 7.00 p.m. in Branxton Village Hall.

Etal Resident wins on “Who wants to be a millionaire.” The year started very well for Eric Musgrave of Etal, who won £64,000 by answering 11 questions correctly on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Eric appeared on programmes 2 and 3 of the most recent series, which were broadcast on ITV on 2 and 3 January respectively. Both had been recorded, however, at Salford Media City on the evening of 30 November, so Eric, his wife Jane (who was in the audience) and their immediate family had to keep quiet about the good news for more than a month so as not to spoil the surprise on the night. Eric, who had wanted to appear on the show since its early days 20 years ago, was described by the production team as being from Berwick- on-Tweed. He explains: “When they confirmed I was going to be on the show to be filmed on 30 November, they said they needed to put my home town. I said that as very few people watching would have heard of Etal, they should just put me down as being from Northumberland. After a couple of days, they called me back and said they’d prefer a town, not a county, so we settled on Berwick-upon-Tweed. The young researcher I was speaking to said he’d looked for Etal on Google Maps and commented: ‘There is actually nothing around where you live, Eric!’” Eric told him that is exactly why he and Jane had relocated from Kent to Etal at the end of May last year. So far, the move has proved to be a very lucky one.

4 Extract from the Draft Minutes of Ford Parish Council meeting. Tuesday 8th January 2019 at 7 pm in Etal Village Hall.

1.Questions from members of the public – From Joanna Wood – “How much information /knowledge does the Parish Council have relating to the proposals at Sandyford Farm?” 2. Members present :- Cllr. Beattie - Vice Chairman, Cllr. Gray, Cllr. Mills, Cllr. Cuddigan, Cllr. Keating, Steve Taylor – Clerk, 8 Members of the public. 3a. Cllr. Beattie in the chair addressed the meeting to mention the passing of Councillor Tom Turnbull a few days before. He said that Tom was a stalwart of the community and Parish Council, having served on the PC for over 15 years. He was aware that may people at the meeting would have known Tom better and for longer but he said that Tom had been one of the first people he had met after he moved to Crookham and had always enjoyed listening to Tom’s stories about the area and local history. Among many other things, Tom had been instrumental in keeping Crookham Village Hall open when it became under threat of closure and also in the subsequent renovation of the hall. Cllr. Baker has also expressed his condolences. On behalf of the Parish Council Cllr. Beattie acknowledged Cllr. Turnbull’s contributions to the council over the years and sends condolences to Tom’s family. He will be greatly missed. 8. Fast moving traffic on Ford Bank. The clerk updated councillors on the correspondence Cllr. Baker and himself had received from Gavin Barlow, Highways and Neighbourhood Services, regarding the Flasher signs and Neil Snowdon, Principal Highways Programme Officer, with regards the fast moving traffic on Ford Bank outside the school. 10. Sandyford Farm Development proposals. Cllr. Keating began the discussion with a prepared statement which she read out (see below). At the end of the statement Cllr. Keating proposed that the PC seeks an urgent meeting with the local planning authority to get further information and guidance, specifically in the area of “permitted development”. Addressing the question from Item 1, the chair replied by saying that the Parish Council have no information regarding the proposed developments at Sandyford’s Farm. At this point the chairman permitted some discussion between members of the public and councillors. The main points that arose from this discussion were:- a) There is very little definite information available as to what is actually being proposed but a flier sent round the village of Crookham inviting residents to a “Happening” on 15th December stated – “Together they are establishing a small collection of military/engineer related vehicles/items, not a museum-that's too grand-but a live display which will occasionally be demonstrated to the public on a weekend.” b) There has since been another event where a tank driving experience was had by some paying members of the public. c) The question as to whether planning permission is required for these activities seems to revolve around the term “permitted development” which may apply here as long as the venue is not in the Tweed Catchment Area. This requires further information. d) As the area is thought to be in a flood plain concerns were voiced over the risk to the river from diesel or oil from vehicles getting into the river. e) Concerns were voiced over whether small businesses which tried to make a living from visitors coming to the area to experience tranquillity may be affected. Following this discussion councillors agreed to the proposal from Cllr Keating and asked the clerk to contact the planning authority and request a meeting as soon as possible to help councillors understand the relevant planning issues regarding this possible development. It was also agreed that Cllr. Keating should forward her statement to Lord Joicey and Ford and Etal Estates. 18. Date of next meeting – Bi-monthly meeting, 12th March 2019 in Crookham Village Hall at 7pm. For full minutes and other related documents please go to www.wooler.org.uk/fordpc

How to contact the Police Emergency number: 999 Non-emergency number: 101 If you ring from a mobile your call will ping from the nearest mast, eg. if you are in Cornhill Village, the nearest mast is in Scotland. Therefore the call will be answered by Police Scotland. Whether phoning by land line or mobile, if you are in Northumberland, always ask for Police Northumbria. In an emergency, Police Scotland may attend if they are nearest, until Police Northumbria arrive to take over. Any delay caused to calls on the Northumberland side of the Border are due to the area code 01890 and TD postcodes which operate on both sides of the Border. The non-emergency number 101 will give a recorded message asking which Police Force you wish to contact. You will then be put through to the correct one.

Police Officer Dan Perry 281 is still the officer operating in the local area, and can be contacted by email on: [email protected]
