18/58 Ward Cllrs reports
Ward Cllr Foley:
The memorial stone situation at Ladysmith Lane is with the legal team at SBC, to try to find a new location for the stone. They wanted to place the stone on the Ladysmith Lane crossroads area but Highways wouldn’t approve this. They are looking for other sites in the area.
There is no SBC budget to move this stone. There are unfortunately few rights of way in this area that SBC could use.
Cllr Matt Harris suggested talking to Sustrans to see if they could accommodate the stone on their path. The committee was asked to think of any other suggestions. This is to be added to the next planning agenda.
The Parish Council will write to the landowner to ask if a wreath can be laid on the stone this year.
Ward Cllr Sumner:
Re-iterated the information received prior to the meeting in regards to the SHELAA
Cllr Brady advised there will be an extraordinary parish meeting to discuss the SHELAA proposals within the parish. The Ward Cllrs will all be invited to attend with updated information on the area. Need to discuss how to update the parish with total transparency. For this we will need the full facts first.
Ward Cllr Sumner advised that the SHELAA deadline can be extended if needs be.
Cllr Hill asked after the streetlight in Canney Close that was removed after a gas leak. It was reported on 24th Sept with a 4-6 week lead time to fix it. There are minor thefts occurring in Canney Close due to it being darker.
Ward Cllr Foley will get an update and send to the Clerk. She will also enquire about finding or replacing the neighbourhood watch sign that was on the post.
Cllr Hill asked about a safe crossing point on the A346 for bus users getting off on the Badbury side of the road. The Clerk is to make an official request to Ward Cllrs for this to be looked into. It will be added to the planning meeting agenda to be considered along with other parish requirements.
Ward Cllr Mattock:
Ward Cllr Mattock advised he often has a clash of meetings as Scrutiny for SBC is held on a Monday evening and he must attend by law.
There was a good response to the October surgery with 18 people attending.
He also confirmed he had reported back on the further degradation of the road at New Road near the roundabout. It is still scheduled for Spring 2019 but is good to make SBC aware of updates.
The ward Cllrs leave the meeting.
18/59 Community Safety, Cllr Sunners reporting.

18/61. ACV for Calley Arms Hodson. (Asset of Community Value order)
Cllr Brady briefed the Council on this proposal. An area hub or community focal point can be registered with the local authority (SBC) to be listed as an ACV. This listing is valid for 5 years.
In the event of the asset being put up for sale, it offers local groups the opportunity to submit a draft plan to take over the asset as a community venture. They have a 6 week window to submit this. If deemed applicable, they then have 6 months to show a plan and raise the funds needed.
Hodson residents have expressed a desire for this to be put into place.
NB- There are currently new landlords in the Calley Arms who are welcomed by the community
A proposal was submitted by Cllr Brady to submit this ACV form to SBC for approval. Cllr Rawlings seconded this, and all Cllrs were in favour.
18/62 – Review of Committee minutes and documents
Finance from Cllr Harris: Cllr Matt Harris advised that the draft budget and precept for 2019/20 had been agreed and will go on the parish website for viewing. There is a 30 day consultation period. This will then be re-visited by Finance and changed made if needs be. It will then come to full council for voting and sending to SBC.
There is £139.00 proposed for the precept. 2.96% increase from last year. All comments to the Clerk please. The annual audit has been completed and passed.
The September financial figures had been circulated prior to the meeting.
Cllr Summer proposed this as an accurate representation of the figures for September 18. Cllr Rogers seconded and all Cllrs were in favour.
The Clerk confirmed the bin nearest the Spar is being emptied 3 times a week at the moment.
Environment, General Purpose and Amenities (EGPA) from Cllr Rawlings:

Jason Humm has left SBC now, so the Build Out conversation with him has ceased. Depending on the results of the SHELAA with New Road, the Build Out may get absorbed into that discussion.

Still waiting for updated plans from SBC on Norris Close
