After discussion It was proposed by Cllr I Gilson, seconded by Cllr A Cox ​ and unanimously agreed for the Chair to sign the minutes as a true record as presented. 4 Clerk Report The Clerk read out their report - Account details for the third quarter ​ accounts check by Cllr A Cox have been emailed, and the accounts & bank statements have been provided, Cllr A Cox will report this at item 9.c. Following the complaint made to Barclays, a mandate confirmation and change request confirmation have been received but no formal reply to the complaint. I will chase this. A new cheque book has also been sent.

I have contacted Lloyds Bank Plc, who have advised that the application can be made over the phone. I will need personal details and permission from the agreed authorised persons to undergo a credit check to begin and complete the application. I have listed this under item 10.

I have received an annual report from the Willisham Recorder, who has advised they will be stepping down in April 2020.

280

In January I received a cheque for £75.53 from the organiser of the OAP Xmas Lunch, this will show on the accounts as income received for January (not in the balances on the agenda for this meeting).

As per our business plan / internal control document, I have placed the internal auditors on the agenda under item 7. I would like to move the publication policy and transparency policy to the annual meeting, whilst I seek clarification of the changes needed for the website and subsequent policies following the implementation of the accessibility legislation, this is under item 12.

I have received information from the Ringshall PC Clerk about dramatic coppicing of the hedge along the Offton end of Holly Rd, on the southern side. It looks like a digger has been used as trunks have been torn out. I have placed this as item 13 to be discussed.

The precept form as well as the new CIL annual report have been forwarded to BMSDC.

I have had confirmation from BMSDC, that the total CIL monies of £1521.64 can be used to fund the Village Hall Car Park. There is a further £1149.21 held in the community account, and £650 set aside in the 2019-2020 budget for the Village Hall. In order to meet the funding request for the Offton & Willisham Village Hall in full, a further £1,440.15 would need to be moved from the savings account to the current account, details have been set for review within the finance item 9 d & g.

I have also had a member of the public request contact details for Offton church, I have used the ones published in The Link. Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances the minutes for December were not able to be forwarded to The Link.

Lastly, I met with the Digital Project Support Officer for BMSDC on 12th Dec. They are undergoing an indepth look of the ways in which BMSDC communicate with others. I along with other feedback groups provided information and feedback on the current ways BMSDC convey information. Hopefully this will result in improved communication types and more user friendly information and notification in the future. They are looking at things very seriously and it will not be a quick fix. I might be called back to take part in the testing at a later date.

th Correspondence & emails received up to 27 ​ January are found in the ​ addendum. 5 Chair Report The Chair confirmed that the Annual Staff review was carried out on 28th January 2020. The Chair also advised that they would not like to restand as Chair at the Annual Parish Council Meeting in May 2020 and hopes that one of the existing councillors would like to take on the role.

Addendum

1.District Councillor Report for January District Cllr Report Battisford and Ringshall Ward January 2020 Locality Grants The deadline for applications for locality grand funding is now the end of January. Councillors need to process the applications in February.

District Council Budget and Council Tax Members received a briefing on the draft budget for 2020/21. This draft budget will be considered by Cabinet on 13th January and the Overview and Scrutiny Committee on 16th January; it is expected to ​ ​ be approved at full Council meeting on 27 February. Government have agreed that Shire Districts may increase council tax by £5 or 2%, whichever is the greater. There are no new proposals for Central Government grants to District Councils. Government proposes to phase out or replace New Homes Bonus by 2024. New Homes Bonus for 2020/21 will be £1.612M, an increase of £232k over 2019/20 but is likely to reduce (possibly by 50%) in 2021/22. Any new grant is likely to be based upon achieving higher house building targets. Baseline business rates will increase by 2%. Government propose a full business rates revaluation in 2021; a fundamental review of business rates is also likely. See appendix for further details.

Housing Revenue Account After four years of government-enforced reductions, the council is also proposing putting up council house rents by 2.7%. This will result in an average increase of £2.19 per week increase for tenants.

Council Tax Payments MSDC Cabinet on 6 January are to discuss an initiative to introduce new fines for Council Tax fraud.

284

Cabinet will also consider adoption of a new protocol produced by Citizens Advice and Local Government Association for the collection of council tax arrears. This seeks to assist those falling behind with their payments in a less confrontational way.

County Councillor Report for January

County Councillor report – February 2020

A Statement from Councillor Matthew Hicks, Leader of Suffolk County Council, on the Ipswich Northern Route (This statement was issued on 30 January 2020) Since Suffolk's Public Sector Leaders (SPSL) first took the decision to pursue development of an Ipswich Northern Route (INR), I have been clear, as leader of Suffolk County Council (SCC), that the project must be fully collaborative and follow the processes set out by the Department for Transport (DfT) if it is to enjoy any realistic chance of success. This week, SCC met our commitment to SPSL to undertake phase one of the DfT process, by publishing the Strategic Outline Business Case (SOBC). This concluded that there was a good economic business case to

285

continue the project to phase two. However, alongside the SOBC, SCC outlined five issues which would need to be considered if SCC were to recommend whether the project proceeds. These issues are: ● The way Government allocates funding for road projects has evolved since 2016. There is now a need to provide not only a compelling business case for the road itself, but also to show how the road will enable or support additional housing growth. This need for additional housing falls under the remit of district and borough councils. SCC, as the transport authority for Suffolk, will need clarity on the willingness and ability of the district and borough councils to deliver such growth, beyond that already committed to in their respective local plans. ● The need for widespread political support, both at a national and local level, to proceed to the next stage, factoring in the levels of public support and any local changes to the political landscape as a result of the May 2019 and December 2019 elections. ● A petition received from the STOP! campaign, which is against the project, is scheduled to be responded to by a meeting of Suffolk County Council on 13 February 2020. ● Serious consideration of the climate emergency declared in 2019. ● Acceptance that the scheme has no realistic chance of succeeding in gaining government funding as a “road only scheme". So far, we have received responses from Ipswich Borough Council, East Suffolk Council, Mid Suffolk District Council and Council. We have also received a response from Tom Hunt, MP for Ipswich. Dr ​ Dan Poulter, MP for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich, and Dr Therese Coffey, MP for Suffolk Coastal, have also made their views on the Ipswich Northern Route clear prior to publication of the SOBC this week. This is a complex issue for everyone in Suffolk. The SOBC suggests there is a strong business case to proceed. However, pursuing a project of this scale and financial size clearly needs widespread political support as, without this, Government is unlikely to even support the next phase when £3m is needed to complete the Full Business Case. Furthermore, without agreement of the district and borough councils to build the additional houses necessary to secure government funding (above those already agreed within their local plans), I do not believe this project can proceed with any degree of success. Therefore, after careful consideration of the above and the wider political views, along with the very real concerns of families and businesses located close to any of the proposed routes, and all the responses received , it has become increasingly clear that, as Leader of Suffolk County Council, I am now in a position to recommend to my Cabinet that the Ipswich Northern Route should not proceed to the next phase of development. To bring the uncertainly surrounding this issue to an end for all concerned, I will be bringing a paper to a meeting of Cabinet on 25 February where the final decision will be made, which we must do as the highways’ authority for Suffolk. To avoid pre-empting my own Cabinet’s decision, I do not intend to offer further commentary beyond this statement.

New permit scheme aims to address roadwork disruption On 28 January, Suffolk County Council’s Cabinet gave the go-ahead for a new permit scheme that they hope will ​ reduce delays on Suffolk’s roads caused by roadworks. The introduction of a roadworks permit scheme for the county’s roads will give Suffolk County Council’s Network Assurance Team enhanced powers to place conditions on work carried out by utility companies and other organisations, including Suffolk Highways. At present, public utilities simply need to inform Suffolk County Council of the dates when they are planning to do their works. Under a permit scheme, they would have to ask for permission and the council can either approve, refuse or amend their request as they see fit. Applicants would also have to pay a fee when applying for a permit to do roadworks. The cost will vary depending on the duration of the proposed work, the strategic importance of the affected road, and the time of day the work is due to take place. If roadworks occur outside of the peak congestion periods, the fee could be reduced.

286

The permit scheme is used successfully elsewhere in the country and there is typically a reduction in congestion on the network. Councillor Andrew Reid, Suffolk County Council’s Cabinet Member for Highways, Transport and Rural Affairs, said: “A permit scheme will provide more power to control proposed roadworks. It places responsibility on the applicant to better plan their work. I hope a permit scheme could reduce the impact of that work on the road network and our residents. “A permit scheme should result in less disruption and less time that vehicles spend in traffic/delays. Consequently, there should also be a reduction in fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. “According to the Department for Transport, other counties that have run a permit scheme have seen a reduction in disruption and so we will endeavour to ensure those who live, work and visit our county also benefit.” There will be a cost to the local authority to administer the permit scheme because they will need to recruit additional staff and amend existing software to cater for permits. However, the costs associated with the additional work involved will be recovered through the fee income associated with the scheme, making it cost neutral. The permit scheme will be in place from 1 April 2020. Don’t let your waste be fly tipped Suffolk residents are being urged to dispose of their waste safely to protect the countryside as part of a new fly-tipping campaign. Last year in Suffolk, there were 3,496 incidents of fly-tipping reported to councils, which costs taxpayers and ​ ​ landowners hundreds of thousands of pounds to clear. Incidents ranged in size from a few bags of household waste left on street corners, up to tipper loads of industrial waste discarded in Suffolk’s countryside. The SCRAP fly-tipping campaign is aimed at residents and businesses whose waste is sometimes fly-tipped by unlicensed operators. It aims to remind people that they should only allow licensed waste carriers to take waste away for them. The fly-tipping campaign brings together all of Suffolk’s councils, along with the Environment Agency, , the Forestry Commission, the Broads Authority and rural business groups the National Farmers’ Union (NFU) and the Country Land and Business Association (CLA). Peter Stevens, chair of the Suffolk Waste Partnership, said: “Fly-tipping is a blight on our local environment; a source of pollution; a potential danger to public health and a hazard to wildlife. This campaign will help us to inform householders and others about their duty of care to prevent waste ending up in the wrong place.” Paul West, cabinet member for waste at Suffolk County Council said: “This campaign will raise awareness of the simple steps that members of the public can take to ensure their waste doesn’t end up dumped in the corner of a field or on a roadside verge. “We look forward to working with our partners to tackle fly-tipping.” The Suffolk Waste Partnership says people can avoid an unlimited fine by following the SCRAP code: ● Suspect ALL waste carriers. ● Check with the Environment Agency on 03708 506 506, or on their website, that the provider taking your waste away is licensed. ● Refuse unexpected offers to have waste taken away. ● Ask what will happen to your waste. ● Paperwork should be obtained – get a full receipt. For more information about fly-tipping and legal ways to get rid of unwanted items, please see www.suffolkrecycling.org.uk/fly-tipping Suffolk Highways has worked in collaboration with Town Council and Council to agree suitable construction methods and timeframes. Businesses have also been engaged with to address their concerns and ensure the works cause minimal disruption to trade.

In an attempt to alleviate parking issues for Zone D permit holders, West Suffolk Council has agreed to allow them to make use of Ram Meadow car park, free of charge.

Date agreed for plans to tackle Suffolk’s parking problems Councils in Suffolk are ramping up activity in order to take on responsibility for local parking management from 6 April 2020. Parking patrols in Suffolk will soon be managed by district and borough councils, in a bid to improve parking locally and drive down nuisance and unlawful parking in towns and villages across Suffolk. Traditionally, roadside parking offences were a matter for the Police. However, parking has become a lower priority for them, so Suffolk County Council is transferring this responsibility to local district and borough councils under a process known as civil parking enforcement, or CPE. Councils already manage public car parks in many towns and villages, so the changes make sense. Suffolk Constabulary is supportive of the move because the transfer of responsibilities will enable them to spend additional time on keeping communities safe and arresting and bringing offenders to justice. Moving the responsibility from the police to local councils requires that statutory notice is given in Parliament. The parliamentary order was laid on 9 J​ anuary 2020. ​ CPE has been running successfully in Ipswich since 2005. Both Ipswich Borough Council and all the district councils have been working collaboratively with Police and Suffolk County Council in the planning stages to ensure a smooth implementation county-wide. Councillor Andrew Reid, Suffolk County Council’s Cabinet Member for Highways, Transport and Rural Affairs, said: “Civil parking enforcement powers will soon sit with our district and borough councils across Suffolk. It is essential in enabling our communities to have closer management of their local parking challenges. “A lot of residents come to us with concerns that people parking in their towns and villages are becoming more inconsiderate, and something needs to be done about it. We agree, and as a result are committed to seeing these parking issues managed locally to ensure fair and safe parking for all. “I very much welcome the cross-council collaborative working in order to deliver better parking for residents and those visiting Suffolk. Our colleagues will continue working together to ensure CPE is successfully launched and I look forward to seeing the benefits locally that these changes will bring.”
