19/67 Review and Vote on SBC draft Local Plan and SHELAA documents
Some discussion took place on the above, however, the Chairman stated that it was apparent that some Cllrs had not read the Local Plan, so took the decision to bring back to Full Council in September.
19/68 Discuss and possible vote on changing the location of the monthly Ward/Parish surgery from 2020 to incorporate a regular visit to Badbury.
Cllr Rogers advised that Ward Cllr Sunners would be holding a surgery in Liddington to which all Badbury residents would be invited. And that the surgery advertised in the Ridgeway Bell each month would now include an explicit invite to Badbury residents.
Cllr Rogers suggested that these be trialled for the rest of the year, which all Cllrs agreed.
19/69 Delegated emergency powers
These have been enacted to approve insurance for the Washpool area (WARP) at a cost of £410.86 with Came and Co. Approved by Cllrs Harris, Rogers and Rawlings, and by the Parish Clerk.
19/70 Discuss and vote on an amount added to a new reserves fund for VE 75th year celebration arrangements in 2020.
It was unclear from the details provided what level of funding was being sought and it was decided that this should be supported with a draft budget.
19/71 Finance Committee to discuss and approve £66.00 expenditure from EGPA committee to empty Rec ground garage.
Cllr Rawlings reported that the shed had now been cleared, and that security for it needed to be improved. Cllr Harris provided details of how this should be done.
Action: Cllr Rawlings to progress.
Resolved that the council approve the costs of £66.00 plus VAT for Allbuild to remove the rubbish from the Rec ground garage area. Proposed by Cllr Rawlings and seconded by Cllr Jefferies. All Cllrs in favour.
19/72 Discuss & vote on possible match funding for 3rd AED (Defibrillator).
It was unclear from the details provided where the defibrillator was intended to be located. It was felt that the Tennis Club could work with the Football Club to self-fund the machine or seek funding from the Calley Memorial Hall Fund. Alternatively, if the location and funding method could be clarified, the council would welcome the item being brought back to the table.
Action: Clerk to discuss with both Chiseldon Tennis Club and Football Club and other sports users of Rec Ground.
Cllr Rogers stated, that the Clerk had given a similar offer to Badbury, whereby, Badbury would raise £1,000 towards the cost of a defibrillator which could possibly match funded by the Parish Council. Several businesses and residents have already offered contributions towards this.
It should be noted, however, that the current 2 defibrillators received money from the Calley Memorial Hall Trust.
19/73 Finance to discuss & vote on Rec Car Park drainage
One quote had been provided by EGPA for the improvement of drainage which is a continual problem at the Rec. However, the quote did not detail what specification was used to gain this quote.

19/74 Vote on S/LBC/19/1075 for retrospective approval from Whichway Cottage, Badbury
