Traffic and Highways Maintenance Cllr McKim relayed an update from Cllr Brown. The white lining on Main Street at the junction with Normanton Lane had been completed and the resurfacing of Main Street was in the budget for Page 20/18 2020/21 but had been delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic. The bus stop improvement work was nearly complete and cattle crossing signs were due to be installed near Underhill Farm. The overgrown pavement along Main Street which is used for pedestrians accessing the bus stop is dangerous as it not wide enough for a pushchair or wheelchair, Cllr Brown is aware of the situation but Cllr McKim to emphasis the urgency of suitable remediation work. It was understood a cyclist had been knocked off his bike by Five Oaks Spinney as he overtook a turning vehicle. Cllr Leggett had witnessed a car travelling past the interactive speed sign at 56mph. 17.

Date of Next Meeting Wednesday 9th September at 19:00, location to be confirmed. There being no further business the meeting closed at 19:45. Appendix A Stanford on Soar Parish Council Update for residents – 21 May 2020 Annual Parish Meeting cancellation & village update Unfortunately due to the Covid-19 pandemic, this year’s Annual Parish Meeting which was due to be held on 20 May 2020 had to be cancelled. This report on activities has been prepared & circulated to all residents to keep you updated. However, the Stanford on Soar Parish Council (SPC) did hold a virtual meeting. If residents have any queries or observations please feel free to raise these with either the Chairman, the Clerk or a councillor. This is a very testing time for us all. If you are aware of anyone who could do with some assistance with anything, or just a friendly chat, do let someone on the SPC know. Help is at hand. Otherwise – keep safe. Update on selected issues • Parish Council members and clerk: Regrettably Simon Tyldesley resigned as he moved out of the village, but the SPC was delighted to welcome Craig Leggett (Main Street) onto the council. This means the Parish Council consists of Frances McKim (chairman) and Prue Adkin (Normanton Lane), Sarah Lambert (Paddock Court), Wendy Butler (Stanford Hills), Paul Waterfall (Underhill Farm) with Rachael Eldessouky & Craig Leggett (Main Street). Rebecca Hague from Rempstone acts as both clerk and financial officer. Andy Brown remains our Nottinghamshire County Councillor with Carys Thomas, Lesley Way and Kevin Brown our Rushcliffe Borough Councillors. • Finance and precept – the SPC finances are in a stable position with over £11,000 in the bank account. As a result this year’s annual precept was reduced to £5,000. • Planning applications: For once there were no significant new applications during the year. Details of all those made & the SPC responses can be viewed on the Rushcliffe BC planning website. A watching brief is being maintained on activities regarding the building of the National Rehabilitation Centre (NRC) in the grounds of Stanford Hall, officially due to open in 2023. Likewise, the proposals (no formal application yet made) for Riggets Green, (the large development centred on Cotes) is also being monitored carefully. • Five Oaks Spinney and environs: Following the attacks and removal of part of the lead flashing on the pump’s roof, the lead was replaced with matching tiles. The lead was sold and raised over £170. A contract has been agreed with a local ground’s maintenance company to look after the garden. Planning permission was granted in Q3 of 2018 for part of the Five Oaks farm site, but work has yet to begin. Our thanks, once again, goes to Brian Springthorpe for doing such a fantastic job mowing the village grass and verges. • Highways: A very successful joint meeting with Normanton on Soar, organised by County Councillor Andy Brown, was held on 14 August with the Nottinghamshire County Council Highways Department to discuss issues of concern. We are pleased to report that all the road drains were sucked-out, the long requested bus stop facility at Stanford Hills is virtually complete, white lining has been undertaken around the Normanton Lane junction area & road signs for the cow crossing at Underhill farm are awaited. The dangerous state of the footpath in the village is to be given priority and most significantly, Main street in the village is in the budget for complete resurfacing. Timings on these may, however, have slipped due to the covid situation. • Litter pick, rubbish and fly tipping: A litter pick was all organised by Craig Leggett for late March but had to be cancelled. If individuals can do some tidying-up, litter picking ‘grabbers’ & gloves are available from Sarah Lambert. Fly tipping, particularly down Cotes Lane, remains an issue but both Charnwood & Rushcliffe Borough Councils do react and clear rubbish quickly, once reported. • VE Day Celebrations – plans were in hand, organised by Sarah Lambert, to hold some village celebrations – unfortunately these were also cancelled due to the covid pandemic.

  • Boundary Changes in SW Rushcliffe – Rationale
    Boundary Changes in SW Rushcliffe – Rationale I have looked at the figures for SW Rushcliffe and compiled the accompanying spreadsheet, which has 2 sheets Current and Proposal. I have used the published 2018 electorate figures. For the variance calculation I have used the published figure of 2078 for 45 seats. Stanford Ward The parishes in Stanford Ward do not have any real affinity or any centre of population. My suggestion is that Stanford disappears and its parishes are absorbed into other wards, including Soar Valley and Leake. This is similar to the situation before the last boundary change. Soar Valley and Gotham Normanton on Soar’s closest links are with Sutton Bonington, so it should be included in Soar Valley. However, Soar Valley is already too large (+24% on old figures, +9% on new figures) and Gotham too small (-3% on old figures, -18% on new figures), so Soar Valley would need to lose Kingston upon Soar and Ratcliffe upon Soar to Gotham Ward. To support this move, it is worth noting that the group of parishes called the “453churches” consists of the five parishes in the proposed Gotham Ward: Gotham, Barton, Thrumpton, Ratcliffe and Kingston. The children from Ratcliffe and Kingston go to Sutton Bonington Primary School, except those from New Kingston, who go to Gotham Primary School. An alternative proposal would be to combine the resulting Soar Valley and Gotham wards into a 2 seat ward, which might be more acceptable to some residents. Leake The current Leake Ward is too small (-2% on old figures, -10% on new figures).

  • Dear «Sig1» A6006 MELTON ROAD
    «Add1» «Add2» Your ref: «Add3» «Add4» My ref: H/JAB/TRO8318/100 «Add5» Date: As postmark «Add6» «Add7» Dear «sig1» A6006 MELTON ROAD - EAST LEAKE, REMPSTONE AND STANFORD ON SOAR PROPOSED 40MPH SPEED LIMIT (8318) - PUBLIC CONSULTATION Via East Midlands Ltd, working on behalf of Nottinghamshire County Council, is proposing to introduce a 40mph speed limit on a section of the A6006 Melton Road that passes the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre between Rempstone Road and Leake Lane. The actual extends are from a point 60 metres west of its junction with Leake Lane to a point 229 metres west of its junction with Rempstone Road. The proposed speed limit would help reduce the speed of traffic on the A6006 through the junctions with Leake Lane, Loughborough Road, the entrance to Home Farm and the existing entrance to the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre. An additional new entrance is planned into the Centre and is expected to increase the number of vehicles turning off and onto the A6006. The speed limit on this length of road is currently 50mph and the lower traffic speeds will give more time for drivers to react to turning vehicles. It is intended to enforce the new speed limit by the introduction of speed cameras, which will follow as part of a wider route treatment in due course Before proceeding with this consultation, I wish to consider any further views of residents, businesses and organisations who may be interested in this matter. If your comments are in the form of an objection to the proposals and if they cannot be resolved, they will be reported through the County Council’s procedures at the appropriate time.

  • Additional Settlements Background Paper
    Local Plan Part 2: Land and Planning Policies Identification of Additional Settlements Background Paper February 2017 Introduction 1. During February and March 2016 Rushcliffe Borough Council consulted on the Local Plan Part 2: Land and Planning Policies Issues and Options. This consultation included potential sites for development on the edge of Rushcliffe’s Key Settlements of Keyworth, Radcliffe on Trent, and Ruddington. 2. Following this consultation and recent planning appeal decisions, it has been established that the borough does not have an identified 5 year supply of deliverable homes. This shortfall has occurred due to delivery being slower than expected at the strategic allocations North of Bingham, Former RAF Newton, East of Gamston/North of Tollerton and South of Clifton. Whilst Rushcliffe Borough Council is working with the landowners and house builders to resolve the issues which are delaying their delivery, it has also recognised that it may require the release of additional housing sites on the edge of the key and non-key settlements (other villages) within the Borough in order to make up for the shortfall in housing land. 3. The allocation of small and medium sized sites for residential development on the edge of Rushcliffe’s other villages may increase the Local Plan’s flexibility and assist the authority in identifying a 5 year supply of deliverable homes. 4. This paper examines the sustainability of the other villages beyond those key settlements that are part of the settlement hierarchy contained within the Core Strategy. It seeks to identify those villages where additional houses could be accommodated. This is based on: the conclusions of the Greater Nottingham Accessibility Study (2010) and the Greater Nottingham Sustainable Locations for Growth Study (2010); and a further assessment of existing community services and facilities as at 2017 (e.g.
