Hinson, Chairman Cllrs R. Bourton, Mrs D. Ponting and Mrs V. Stubbings 9 Members of the public Several residents wished to speak on the planning application. The Chairman asked that this be dome when the item arose in the agenda. Apologies were received from Cllrs Bayliffe and Nailon Declarations of Interest. Cllrs Stuubbings and Ponting declared a personal interest in item 2 as neighbours of the applicant. 2. Planning. 16/00950/CLE. Appleford, Thornhill The Chairman closed the meewting to enable residents to voice their concerns. Several objected to this application on the following grounds, a precis of which is: a It was disputed that this business has been operating for more than 10 years. b. The location and access to the road is not suitable for heavy lorries, and damage to the verges has occurred  as vehicles manoeuvere to leave the premises. c. The C119 is a single track road, with no passing places. Cares are often forced to reverse long distances to be able to pass oncoming vehicles. d. The number of vehicles in use are 3 HGVs, a trailes, and a minbus. Vehiclew noise, vibration and fumes are of an unacceptable level. The hardstanding is very close to neighbouring properties, and activity on the site has led to a total loss of privacy. e. The pumpoimg of water from the holding pond onto the hardstanding has caused flooding on the road. Ot was agreed that the Clerk will submit his wording to the Chairman for approval before submitting it to Wilts Council 3. Finance. a. There has been no bank activity this month, and balances remail the same. b. The cointractor, AW Services, who has been responsible for cutting the grass on the playing field for ther past two years, hasd offered to renew the contract for a further two years on the same terms. Agreed c. The Clerk noted that the previous requirement to keep any rise in the precept , as previousl noted, had been withdrawn. This came after the precept had been set. 4. Neighbourhood Planning. a. The Chairman briefed the meeting on the outcome of the Wilts Council meeting to sort out the way ahead now that Purton PC have pulled out of the process. The likely outcome would appear to be a smaller group, with Broad Town,  Clyffe Pypard and Bushton, and Tockenham Parish Cpouncils forming a smaller group. Until such time as this is confirmed, it was agreed that: a, A staement of intent to remain within the process until such time as the future is dteremined be adpoted by the PC b. That a questionnaire, similar to the one produced by Toackenham PC, suitably amended, be prepared, with a covering letter, for two copies to be delivered to each house, and that CLPG be invited to take part in this. c. Arrangements for dropping off and picking up should be decided b. As it is up to members of NEW-V to vote on the acceptance of the decisionn of Purton to leave the group, the PC should condider the way in which it should vote. 5. Communique. To include: a. It is planned to deliver one page questionnairres to each house in the Village to assess views on future buildning. This will be the final item to enable the draft Neighbourhood POlan to go forward. b. Now that the road safety improvements are finally complete, it is time to revitalise Community Speedwatch to assess it's effectiveness. Volunteers are required. c. Parking on Chapel Lane. The fire service requires a minmum of 10 feet between vwhicles parked on either side of a road to enable fire vehicled to get through. Parking on Chapel Lane is poor and this is often not the case. 6. Reports. A report from Clle Stubbings ont he recent area Board meeting was noted. 7. The Chairman informed the meeting that Mr S, Billis had been elected to fill the vacancy on the PC and will be invited to sign the Acceptance of Office at the next meeting. 8. Parish Matters. a. Parking on Chapel Lane. This is often very poor and cannot meet the criteria for a fire engine, or any other large vehicle to get through.

Ponting, Vice-Chairman          Cllrs J. Bayliffe, R. Bourton, M.Nailon and Mrs V. Stubbings. Apologies were received from Cllr S. Hinson There were no Declarations of Interest The Chairman called the meeting to set the precept for 2016/2017 as the meeting of 11th January 2016 had been cancelled and the deadline was imminent. 1. The Clerk confirmed the income and expenditure for the year 2015/16 put forward at the December meeting, and noted that there were several items of expenditure which had not been budgeted for, leading to an estimated overspend of come £1250. The sum of £1190 in VAT will be reclaimed at the end of this financial year, which will reduce this deficit to a manageable sum. 2. The budget for the coming year will have to be increased to cover election costs, the cost of the Neighbourhood Plan informal consultation, and a possible increase in the salary of a new Clerk. The Clerk suggested an increase over the budget for the present year of £175 to £3800. Whilst accepting that this should be higher, he noted that all councils were being urged to limit their increases and reduce their expenditure, and felt there was sufficient room for this figure to be sufficient. 3. This was accepted and the precept of £3800 was set by unanimous vote.

An invoice from VHMC for rental of the Village Hall for PC meetings was discussed. In the past the PC had donated £450 to the committee, and paid a nominal rent of £20. As this sum had been budgeted for it was agreed that the total of £470 be paid, covering the rent and contribution.    c.

It was agreed that due to the short time scale consideration be given to producing a flyer, and that a basic cost should be established to enable possible funding to be sought. So that the report can be viewed in its final form, the formal acceptance will be an agenda item at the next meeting.    b. Area Board and CATG. The report by Cllr Stubbings was noted.

Cllr S. Hinson, Cllrs R. Bourton, M. Nailon, J. Pullen and Mrs V. Stubbings.     Also present, 8 members of the public     Apologies were received from Cllrs J. Bayliffe, Mrs D. Ponting and Mrs M. Groom.   1. The minutes of the meeting held on14th September 2015 were signed as being a true record.   2. Planning   a. 15/09731/FUL. Hurstbridge House, Pye Lane.

Clerk will produce an application form for grants.   5. CLPG. Thre good work done by CLPG has now reached an impasse, and the Parish Council must now complete this last phase, particularly as NEW-V has put a times limit on the process.   There are two options open to the Council   1. To pull out of the process now.   2. To remain with the process, hold an informal consultation, and then pull out if necessary.   The Chairman closed the meeting at 10.05 to allow for public participation.   Option 1. To do this now might disadvantage the Village.   Option 2. The cost would limit options 2 , particularly if it is deemed necessary to produce those sections of the report which is common to all areas, together with the Broad Town specific, which would lead to a document of up to 30 pages, and would have to include a questionnaire. If this were to be produced for each voter or household the cost would be excessive. It could be placed on the website, or alternatively copies held in the school, Village Hall and by Councillors and the Clerk for the public to peruse.   A further problem is that there has to be a secure system in place to prevent any form of voting irregularity. The Chairman re-opened the n[meeting at 19.23 hrs.   After much debate the Chairman proposed that " The Parish Council takes over from CLPG, should stay in the process, should reduce the options and word them in a usable form; then have a consultation with the public and stakeholders". This was carried unanimously.   6. Reports.   a. Neighbourhood Planning. See 5 above.   b. Area Board and CATG. No recent meeting.   c. Community Speedwatch. Volunteers still required.   d. Neighbourhood Watch. The recent report noted that PC Steve Porter had moved away, and the post is now being advertised.   7. Communique. To include information on the Community Fund and the progress of the draft Parish Plan.   8. Parish Matters.   a. Insurance cover for village volunteers. The Clerk has received confirmation that volunteers working at the request of the Council would be covered by insurance, but there are strict limitations.   b. Dog fouling has once again become an issue.   c. Grips through Thornhill. Despite being reported, nothing has yet been done. Clerk will pursue.   d. Big Gig AGM will be held on 13th Nov.   e. Work on the Marlborough Road railway bridge is again delayed.   f. A member of the public asked what had happened to the Communications Protocol, which should have been approved in September. Clerk noted that a new Transparency Code for Smaller Councils had been issued and he has yet to check for possible conflict.   9. Resignation. At the end of the meeting Cllr John Pullen resigned from the Parish Council due to ill health. This was received with much regret. The Chairman acknowledged the debt the Parish owes to John for his more than 20 years service to the community.   The meeting closed at 19.35hrs                 .] Roy Davey Wed, 04 Nov 2015 09:31:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:205 https://broad-town.co.uk/Parish-Council/Parish-Council-Documents/ID/204/AGENDA-FOR-MEETING-12th-OCTOBER-2015#Comments 0 https://broad-town.co.uk/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=323&ModuleID=865&ArticleID=204 https://broad-town.co.uk:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=204&PortalID=0&TabID=323 https://broad-town.co.uk/Parish-Council/Parish-Council-Documents/ID/204/AGENDA-FOR-MEETING-12th-OCTOBER-2015 there will be a meetinG of thE Parish Council on 12th October 2015 in the Vullage Hall at 18.30hrs.

A member of the public noted the omission of an answer to his previous question from the minutes for July.Chairman noted that the whole subject of the Communications Protocol was listed as being an agenda item for the September meeting. Further the Clerk noted that a new Transparency Code for Smaller Councils has been recieved, but the effect on the protocol has yet to be studied. The meeting opened at 18.30 hrs. 1. The minutes of the meeting held on 13th July 2015 were signed as being a true record. 2. Planning. a. 15/07566 Broad Oak Cottage. Single Storey Extension to Rear. No objections from PC. Clerk will await any comment from the public before answering WC b. The result of previous applications was noted: i. 83 Horns Lane. Extension. Approved with conditions ii Cotmarsh. Arena Lighting. Change from Temporary to Permanent approved. 3. Finance. a. Invoices from AW Services for grass cutting the Redhills playing field, £260,  had been payed by direct bank transfer. b. Clerk noted that as he is now able to pay invoices due to the Council without  the previously required two cheque signatories an irregular internal audit will be instituted, which he will present as an amendment to the financial regulations. An amendment will also be required now that the contract has been signed for  the community fund payment from Good Energy. c. The additions to the childrens playground should start in September. As the payment from Wilts Couincil will not be available until completeion of the work the Clerk has received the offer of an interest-free loan to cover the period. d. Bank Balances. Business - £369. Instant Access - £6594. Treasurers -  £100. 4. Community Fund. This fund is to enable grants to be made which are for the benefit of the Parish. It will be run by the Parish Council, which will be responsible to the energy company for its use. The income will be limited, and will be dependent on the power output from the solar farm. The fund will therefore be for those projects which require grant funding, but it is not to be used for ongoing projects, maintenance or any other expenditure for which the Council has statuary responsibility. 5. Reports. a. Neighbourhood Planning. Nothing to report. b. Area Board. There seems to be a change of titling going on. c. CATG. Next meeting not until October. d. Community Speedwatch. There have been more volunteers. e. Neighbourhood Watch. Clerk will circulate the notes from the latest meeting. f. White Horse. A report from Bob Clarke gave a resume of progress, particularly that the use of weed-killer seems to have had some success. 6. Road Signs. Single track road signs for Thornhill. Wilts Highways have offered a choice of two signs, but the most appropriate would indicate the one that indicates a narrow road ahead, and this was accepted. Positioning of the sign at the Broad Town Road end is difficult; there is already a clutter of signs and poles on the corner property, but the Clerk is to write to the owner of the property to obtain his view. However, it was felt that a more appropriate place would be at the end of the properties where the road begins to narrow. 7. Parish Matters. a. Road surface cracking on Bushton road from Broad Town intersection.
