2015/2016 Report to Parish Council Re: Deanshanger Village Heritage Society Deanshanger Annual Parish meeting 22 April 2016 Report booklet Deanshanger Parish Council The parish council would like to thank the residents of Deanshanger for voting for them in the 2015 elections, it’s been a challenge as well as hard work, but though the learning curve is a steep one, the council is delivering results now and has plans for 2016 which will help the village. The parish council have maintained the same precept as 2014/15 which is excellent news to residents as there has been no increased costs. The Council have all finances and the records up to date to ensure the monies secured and held by the Parish Council are accountable and the use of funds is widely known. The council has the precept as well as some secured funds from development in the village. There is also the New Homes Bonus which groups of Deanshanger have access to apply to for funds. We have this year looked to work with the police to ensure we have issues facilitated and managed and worked with the police to maintain a safe environment. Also working with the police and the community to support Neighbourhood Watch and understand where we can support new initiatives such as street watch. The council has seen a lot of a change with new councillors, now up to capacity along with a new clerk. All of which has been exciting and challenging, to ensure that the running of the council is in order, up to standard and for everyone to understand the polices which sometimes have been challenging due to the amount of bureaucracy involved. We will see a new initiative this summer from a joint action group working with Service Six who will be connecting with the younger generation in the village, with a view to providing guidance and advice on providing facilities for this generation. A questionnaire was produced to ask Deanshanger what they wanted, sadly a low response of only 40 responses were received. We have employed a handyman for 6 months for 16 hours a week with the idea to improve and maintain the areas we are responsible for, with litter picking and to manage the maintenance. The handyman will also work to enhance the areas and keep up to an acceptable presentable standard. The Parish Council print their own newsletter which has saved money, also paying locally for delivery to help support the community. We are also working to try and embrace more and more groups and individuals so that we can share what is happening and deliver any news items. If you wish to contribute please notify the clerk as soon as possible so that she can build up a record of contributors. The Parish council had its first stand at the feast which was a great opportunity to be part of a community event, as well raise money for the Thames Valley Air Ambulance from denotations from the Co Op. We have an open spaces working party, of which the public are welcome to join and share ideas with the councillors so we can ensure we improve facilities with input from everyone We saw a change in the village this year with the Co Op opening; this seems to have been welcomed to the village. There have been comments of litter and parking issues, all of which the Co Op supported by the Parish Council are trying to address. There is a great community spirit here along with the way they have integrated with us. The co-op also has generously donated to a number of groups in the village. We are going to be working with Elizabeth Woodsville School to initiate ways in which we can work with younger generations and generate link to the council. 2015 we saw the success of the signs installed by Deanshanger Athletic club which were the result of the Parish Council running a competition for the primary school. The children were asked to design posters for preventing dog fouling. These have been well received and it’s great to see these around the village. The state of the roads is mentioned repeatedly, this is an issue for Northamptonshire county council and we do report in the newsletter reminders where you can report these. There was the successful installation of the defibrillator by the community centre and in 2016 we will see installation of another one near the Co Op. The Parish Council have also met informally to share ideas and known concerns from residents to put these into a plan so they can be implemented in 2016, you will see these completed as the months roll on through 2016 if you follow the agendas and minutes. The Parish recognise the hard work and enthusiasm brought from a group of volunteers, Deanshanger in Bloom. This group care about the appearance of the village and will continue in 2016 to enhance the appearance of the village. They welcome new volunteers at this group as they want to become a part of this village as well as garden. Thank you to them for the exceptional efforts in the village; it is appreciated by the Parish. Thank you everyone for attending the meeting tonight, for coming to listen and to those who have contributed not only with reports but with the efforts to collaborate bringing the village together. Deanshanger does have a great community spirit and a vast amount of amenities and activities, it’s fantastic. The Parish Council want all groups and people to know we are here for them to support, do contact us for clarity on processes and grants as we are open to support where we can. The Council would like to thank the clerk who joined us in December 2015, working hard to bring inline the Parish Council finances and administration. Report by your County Councillor Allen Walker of 2015/2016 for: Alderton, Ashton, Cosgrove Deanshanger, Grafton Regis, Old Stratford, Paulerspury, Potterspury, Wicken, Whittlebury, Yardley Gobion. What a year!!!!! Who would have thought we would be talking and moving to a complete new structure at NCC? (Next Generation Working) What does this mean to you the residents of the above Parishes of my Ward. Well probably very little to you in real terms. But to us Councillors a smarter, better, more financially sound County Council. The Structure as I have explained simply over the year is to split the major elements into Trading Companies. So we will have Environment & Transport doing as it does now with our Partner KIAWSP. There will be a New Mutual Company for Wellbeing and its partners in the NHS, a new Community Interest Company for Adult Services/Social Services, as well as a new Mutual Trust for Children & Young People, complementing our own Trading Company LGSS. All having their own Directors and workforce. These will still be controlled by the CXO and his team and us Politicians known as NCC Group, we will have a 51% controlling stake in each element. Which will be governed by Cabinet and Full Council decisions still. (There, easy peas`y) At NCC numerous activities that I have been involved in are still taking place. The first being, we have improved too, Good from Inadequate, for our “Looked after Children” I am pleased to say that this has been done by a total revamp of the dep’t and a new director. Albeit the cost has been horrendous (Extra £10M – £15M). Our Academy school for Social Workers is also paying dividends with nearly 100 new people being adequately trained to meet this demanding job. This has been established as an exemplar for the Council. We have taken nearly £200M from our base budget in the last 5 years and planning to take another £130M+ over the next 4 years. We have had some concessions from Government. We can now use a four-year plan (as opposed to balancing the books yearly) £65M, £30M £17M, £18M The cost of running our services would double in the next 4 years if we did not change. It will mean closer working with the 6 Districts & Northampton Borough. This also brings to the fore the Unitary Debate…. SNC are already paying for a feasibility study to go to a Combined Authority with Cherwell in OXON. Whereby the rest of Northamptonshire Districts/Borough are talking unitary. As your County Councillor I have kept out of the debate at present until more concrete factual evidence one way or other is given. We at NCC are continuing towards a Tri County Alliance with Oxford & Buckinghamshire. To establish Strategic links in the Heartland of England Project Angel is progressing at a pace, we will see our staff move into a modern purpose built building in Northampton by March 2017. We have done this by closing & selling 12 buildings, effectively making the £54M to pay for this. As I have said before “What you see is what you get” with me. Hopefully I have lived up to your expectations as your County Councillor of 19 years. Every year seems to get harder financially. From my Empowering Councillors monies of £7,000 (this will change to £5,000 from May 2016) I have donated grants to: Ashton Village Magazine, Wicken Sports Club (Tennis Courts), Potterspury Youth Club (Projector), Potterspury John Hellens Primary School (Outdoor Equipment), Potterspury Improvement Group (Garden of Remembrance), Deanshanger Primary School (Sports Hall), Yardley Gobion Recreation Centre (Road reinstatement), My activities locally as your County Councillor have involved; Cosgrove, Yardley Gobion, Potterspury, 90 Bus services; Paulerspury, Transport issues; Wicken Drainage and Solar panels; Old Stratford 89 Buses, New Developments, OSR issues, Quarry extraction at Passenham; Deanshanger 89/90 Buses, Stratford Rd reinstatement and Traffic congestion issues; Ashton, Aderton & Grafton Regis, Traffic management along the A508; Whittlebury Speeding A403 (High Street) I have had successful separate meetings with Highways Officers, regarding future traffic management on the A5, A422 A508 and the over capacity of the Roundabout at Old Stratford to enshrine in the NCC Highways Strategy approved by Cabinet, for future action.

  • Parish Council Newsletter
    Parish Council Newsletter Winter 2016 An update from the Chairman Jim Wright Hi time has flown since my last update and I have a number of things to update you on, all of which equally important. It has been announced by members of the Deanshanger Day Centre, that a number of members of the volunteer team are stepping down at Christmas, they have been volunteering for the club for a number of years and now feel it is time to sit back and relax. I would like to sincerely thank the members who are stepping down for their time commitment and outstanding service they have given our village and our older residents over the years. The Day Centre is a massive asset to the village it provides a hot meal, meeting with like minded people who have retired and welcome the company and lunch every Thursday and had been going for over 30 years. Due to the volunteers stepping down, we desperately need help on Thursdays, the club opens around 7:30am am to set up table’s chairs and start the prep for dinner (all freshly cooked food) the members arrive by mini bus around 10am – they have tea/coffee play bingo or hold a raffle, then onto dinner and relax and depart about 2pm. The volunteer’s then tidy up put equipment away. What the club needs are people who can help on a Thursday with peeling veg setting up the hall, and clearing up. They also need help raising funds. If you can commit to helping on a Thursday, please contact Mrs Ridgway at the club or myself and I will pass your details on.

Pidgeon Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 15 December 2011 ii iii ABSTRACT Who were the Wydeviles? The family arrived with the Conqueror in 1066. As followers in the Conqueror’s army the Wydeviles rose through service with the Mowbray family. If we accept the definition given by Crouch and Turner for a brief period of time the Wydeviles qualified as barons in the twelfth century. This position was not maintained. By the thirteenth century the family had split into two distinct branches. The senior line settled in Yorkshire while the junior branch settled in Northamptonshire. The junior branch of the family gradually rose to prominence in the county through service as escheator, sheriff and knight of the shire.

    ITEM 9 Station Merger Consultation: Feedback and Recommendations Buckinghamshire & Milton Keynes Fire Authority MEETING Fire Authority DATE OF MEETING 10 February 2016 OFFICER Paul Holland, Head of Projects & Transformation LEAD MEMBER Councillor Catriona Morris SUBJECT OF THE Station Merger Consultation: Feedback and REPORT Recommendations EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report summarises the response to the Authority on a public consultation into a proposal to merge Great Holm and Bletchley Fire Stations with Thames Valley Police into a purpose built ‘blue light hub’ located in West Ashland in Milton Keynes. The consultation ran for eight weeks between 14 September 2015 and 9 November 2015. The Public Safety Plan (PSP) 2015-20 set out the strategic approach the Fire Authority will be taking to deliver the fire and rescue service. This included a commitment to deliver five area reviews that would look at a range of things including: “the right number and location of fire stations which may involve moving, merging, closing or co-locating with other blue light services” This consultation was part of a continuing dialogue with the public, which began with the ‘listening and engagement’ research (November/December 2013) which we did with the public prior to embarking on the development of the 2015-20 PSP, followed by the full PSP consultation which ran for 12 weeks (22 July–13 October 2014) with findings reported to the 17 December 2014 CFA meeting. The purpose of this report is to: - Present to the Authority the results of the public and staff consultations into this merger; - Make recommendations based on the responses we received from across the different methods of consulting.
