PC 17 Presentation by Gary Hudson Open Spaces Manager RDC Gary Gave us a presentation on the possible adoption of the maintenance of Open Spaces Programme.
The Parish Council have been approached by Barratt asking if the PC would like to adopt the area Phase 2 St Giles Park. Gary said that the PC would be able to negotiate with Barratt under a 12.45 years Plan based on the area of the works and the ratable value, the PC could negotiate a lump sum investment, which the PC could use to possibly, improve the infrastructure, he suggested that a high figure as a starting point of £93,000, the final agreed figure could be used for a Parish Project, improvement to play parks, or the re-arrangement of available parks. This would allow the PC more flexibility to consider what suits the residents needs at the time. Gary told us that another Parish has done this and they put a small increase on the precept to cover the cost of maintenance, he also told us that there are grants available for PC for funding for improvement of play parks.
Gary told the meeting that he would assist with fact finding to help provide a case and he would liaise with the Clerk so she could report back to PC.

John is working with Barclays to ensure that we have smoother running and control of our finances. To-date not all the Councillors have signatory use for both the accounts this is posing problems being able to pay The Clerk, HMRC and all other Creditors.The Clerk who is also The Financial Officer of the PC cannot view the account balances at present. She also has to wait to receive her wages and this is bi monthly by cheque with a further 3 working days before it is in her account. This is supposing the transfer has been taken to the bank by a Councillor. The Councillors decided that they want the Clerk to to have the right to communicate with the bank for all banking matters on behalf of the Parish Council, this will provide continuity for all mandate changes, checking for errors and all other correspondence. The Councillors also decided that she will be able to view the accounts online to enable her to work out budgets, quartely accounts, end of year accounts this will ensure funds are up to date allowing her to produce the relevant reports in line with The Transparency Guide.

MS mentioned that she had heard that as part of the new boundary changes that part of Colburn TC would be going to Hipswell PC. GL said that it was still under consultation. MS has concerns that if changes occur to our PC’s existing boundary then the Parish Council would need to account for this when setting the next Precept in November. GL said that any changes would not be known until the outcome of the consultation.
PC 35 County Matters
CL told the meeting that White Shops project was progressing and would finish on time by 24 November 2017. It has been suggested Vodaphone compensate businesses as they are responsible for the delay. RDC have provided free car parking to help small businesses.
CL told us that the Forte Bridge will open early November.
Police & Crime Commissioner not getting all her own way on the Police and Fire Services being run under PCC.
CL talked about Brough Bridge, he said that the signs put up were nonsense, the concrete bollards were being ignored and ended up in the beck. The damage has been from the same side as the last time. The cost to repair could be between £10,000 – £15,000. No planning request to RDC as this would cause a 13-week delay as per last time bridge required repair and as the bridge repairs were not yet finished NYCC would use the same planning application as previously gained.
It may be possible to close the road off completely when all surrounding roads are open. MS asked if it would be possible to use metal supports.
CL said that the problem may be because of the surrounding roadworks on the A1 and local peculiar roads at the moment. JF suggested close the Tunstall road left at REC make it one way. MS suggested two chicanes, one just after the REC entrance and one before the bridge on the St Paulinas Church side to stop lorries going over Brough Bridge. Both sites offer a turning point for lorries to reverse and change direction.
Signage is clearly not working, must think of something else, maybe a new bridge.
CL will feed suggestions into the melting pot and request that the road is blocked.
PC 36 Police Matters
No police present, JF read out the police report received prior to the meeting.
PC 37 Ellerton Lakes Contract Renewal

PC 38 Overgrown Footpath A6136
It was decided that no action be taken on this as Highways England were actually working in the reported area and were cutting it down by default. MS mentioned that when the new White Acre Project commences the PC would need to factor into Precept the amount of extra grass cutting that would be required. Also, there may well be a footpath from Forte Bridge with further grass cutting expenses. SM to contact CL reference speed limits on the A6136 when the new roads are fully open.
PC 39 Recent Vandalism at Roundabout
No Further reports of vandalism have been reported since a complaint had been reported to the police.
PC 40 Austin Gordon – Boundary Dispute Colburn Sports Centre
Following a reply from Austin, no progress has been made. Councillors asked SM to invite Austin to the next meeting in November.
PC 41 Update on Mac Plant
JF had a meeting with Andrew of Mac Plant about the wild flower area. Andrew said the soil was very poor and shortly after the seed was sown the weather was very dry for the time of year, he has suggested that top soil be put in on top next Spring and see if this encourages growth of existing seed, if not, fresh seed will need to be sown. JF asked MS if Kath Needham would be able to test the soil for us, MS will ask her.
PC42 Barratt Adoption
Councillors decided to put this item on to the next agenda
