18/18 Matters Arising & Progress Reports not Listed elsewhere on the
Agenda:
Min 124/16: Royal British Legion Subsidence Claim – The Clerk advised that a second
quotation for the work had been obtained and it was for £290 + VAT. Cllr Taverner
proposed that this quotation was accepted as it was £85 cheaper and the tree surgeon
had undertaken previous work at the site. All voted in favour of accepting the 2nd
quotation. The Clerk would contact Adrian Hope to request the work was done.
ACTION: The Clerk to arrange for the tree to be felled.
Min 151a/16: BT Phone Box Adoption –
Grant Matthews from HCHS had been asked about the School’s defibrillator and he felt
that there was no reason why it could not be made available for public use as it was to
be stored on the outside of the 6th Form building.
Cllr Taverner suggested that a working party be formed to clean up the phone box and
paint it. Cllr Roberts said that she would arrange for it as she had the details of the
paint and materials that should be used. The Clerk said she had not heard whether they
had been successful for the funding from Cemex so she would contact them to enquire.
No response had come back regarding the Village Hall Committee’s intention of having
a defibrillator so that too would also be followed up.
ACTION: The Clerk to follow up the Cemex application for funding. Cllr
Darwent to find out about Albion Lodge’s and the Clerk to find out about the
Village Hall.
19/18 Finance:
a) Payment of Accounts: Members approved the payments of accounts as in the
presented schedule in Appendix 1.
b) Notification of receipts received: No Receipts but the Precept request of £20800 had
been sent to MHDC.
20/8 Planning:
a) To Consider the following applications referred by MHDC for consultation:
None Received
The Parish Council raised objection to the planning application as it was impossible to tell
from the information submitted how close it would be to the new development ‘Brinkley
Drive’ and therefore they could not assess the impact of building the new dwelling to the
surrounding properties.
18/00193/RM Land At (Os 8157 4265) Reserved matters application for 5 no. new
Winnington Gardens dwellings following outline approval (
Hanley Swan, 15/00388/OUT) to include details of
appearance, layout and scale.
The Parish Council viewed the plans for the 5 dwellings and raised objection to the current
details. Due to the housing needs established from the emerging neighbourhood plan they
requested that the housing mix was altered to have 1 x 4 bedroom, 2 x 3 bedroom and 2 x 2
bedroom dwellings as it was smaller properties that were required within the parish.
24/18 Neighbourhood Development Plan – Cllr Bob Lamb said the public
consultation was starting on the 16th February and that there would be a hard copy kept
in the village shop until the 6th April. He asked that the councillors reminded people to
have a look and asked if they felt additional copies were required. It was agreed that a
couple of additional copies would be beneficial and Cllr Darwent offered to have a stall
at one of the Café Market mornings to raise awareness.
Cllr Lamb then talked through the likely timescales of the consultation and examination
periods and it was anticipated that it would be passed in October/November of 2018.
25/18 Correspondence
a) A request to erect a bench in memory of a parishioner had been received by the
Clerk. Cllr Adeney thought there may also be another request made in the near future.
It was agreed to have a site meeting with Gigi to discuss whether to have them and if
possible where they would be located.
b) The mystery of the bottle tops appearing on some of the parish pathways was
discussed. No one knew any reason for it to be happening and it was agreed to keep an
eye on the matter. Cllr Darwent to inform the parishioner who raised the matter.
c) The land outside the village hall gated entrance was discussed and no one knew
who it belonged to.
ACTION: The Clerk to arrange a meeting with Gigi and to email the parishioner
to keep them updated.

his apologies for the March meeting.
