MINUTES OF THE SAWLEY PARISH COUNCIL ANNUAL MEETING HELD ON TUESDAY 26th MAY 2009, AT THE SAWLEY COMMUNITY HALL

Present: Cllrs O Llewellyn (Chairman), G Daxer, D Watson, J Hemsley, Mrs J Bartlett, J Hay-Heddle, R Woollford, B Knight

Members of the Public: 3

Apologies: Cllrs Mrs R Allen, R Allen, T Beard

1) The Minutes of the Annual Parish Meeting held on the 27th May 2008 were duly accepted as a true and accurate record

Chairman's Report

Year 2008/9 has been a reasonably quiet year for the Parish Council, a year in which we actually saw projects started in previous years coming to fruition - well almost anyway!

On a personal note, I have enjoyed immensely my second year as chair of the Parish Council.

A Multi-Use Games Area, more popularly known as a M.U.G.A. was proposed for Sawley in 2007 and subsequently agreed to be sited on The Draycott Road Park: This project did start to cause us some concern during the year because some of the funding which had been gained to finance the project was conditional upon it being spent during the 2008/2009 financial year and there was a time when we believed that the M.U.G.A. could fail because of not being able to meet this deadline. However a sensible agreement was reached because construction was very imminent and would begin within weeks after the financial year end.
This meant that the funding would not be lost. Construction should by this meeting date have started.

It was mid 2007 that Derbyshire County Council first proposed that Sawley Parish Council take on the former Lakeside School Field as a public park. The proposal did seem to drag along for quite a while but eventually early during 2009 we took possession of the park. Unfortunately we are not yet in a position to fully open the park as such, though many people are enjoying access to it. A few weeks ago we agreed with Derbyshire County Council on the type and positioning of fencing to be provided by them with a contribution to the cost by us. The planning permission for this fencing should soon be completed and hopefully erection will begin very soon afterwards. There have been some problems with the proposed car park provision on which we are working towards resolving. Once these items are completed we can then move on to replacing the Tamworth Road fence, erecting notice boards and litter bins etc. and then declare the Park open. We have already taken on board maintenance of the field and also have a park attendant to keep an eye on it for us.

The Armistice Remembrance Service in November 2008 went reasonably well for the parts we organised and I must thank our clerk Ken Johnson and Councillor John Hay-Heddle for their hard work in making it happen and go smoothly. There were a few reservations about other parts of the service and to this end later this year we will have a meeting involving Councillors and others from interested parties in the community to iron out any difficulties and plan the event.

The Parish Precept: Careful management of our funds has meant we were very pleased to be able to reduce the Parish Council precept on Sawley residents to £11,000 for 2009/2010 financial year. With our new responsibility for Lakeside Park we will have to see later in the year whether we can afford to maintain that level.

Finally, I would once again like to personally thank our Parish Clerk and R.F.O. Ken Johnson on behalf of all Sawley Parish Councillors for all his continuing hard work during the year. Much of the work he has done has been above and beyond the call of duty. Without him Sawley Parish Council would not have operated so efficiently.

Councillor Owen Llewellyn, Chair of the Council.
Annual Meeting, Tuesday 26th May 2009.

MINUTES OF THE SAWLEY PARISH COUNCIL ANNUAL MEETING HELD ON TUESDAY 27th MAY 2008, AT THE SAWLEY COMMUNITY HALL

Present: Cllrs O Llewellyn (Chairman), G Daxer, D Watson, Mrs R Allen,.R Allen, J Hemsley, Mrs J Bartlett, J Hay-Heddle, T Beard, R Woollford, B Knight

Members of the Public: 1

D.C.C. Cllr B Camm

Apologies: None

1) The Minutes of the Annual Parish Meeting held on the 10th May 2007 were duly accepted as a true and accurate record

Chairman's Report

Councillor Owen Llewellyn, Chair of the Council.

Year 2007/8 started quite eventfully and finished off quite quietly.

I had followed closely the workings of the Sawley Parish Council since its recreation in year 2000 and became elected onto the Council in May 2007. At the Annual General Meeting I was nominated and elected into the office of Council Chair and I willingly accepted this challenge.

The Councils first problem to surmount was that it was one member short of its required number and so we set about to enact the co-option process to fill this vacancy. On investigation, myself and our clerk, found that the co-option process used on a previous occasion was now out of date with current requirements and I set about, with our Parish Clerks' help, to update the procedure which was in due course presented to the council where it was duly accepted and adopted. Our spare seats grew in number before we could fill the one vacancy we had by the unfortunate resignations of Councillor Clifford Housley and Councillor Graham Smith, we were spared the necessity of a by-election by the electorate sensibly not demanding one and Councillors were spared the necessity of a co-option selection meeting by the withdrawal of one of the 4 applicants for the 3 vacancies which left just 3 candidates for 3 empty members seats - which became duly filled.

A Multi-Use Games Area, or M.U.G.A. as it popularly known, has for some time been identified as a good idea and a requested facility by the youth of Sawley - confirmed at the Youth Consultation Day organised on Saturday 14th July 2007. The £70,000 funding for such a M.U.G.A. was finally confirmed during the year, £30,000 from our Capital Fund matched by £30,000 from Erewash Borough Councils' Sports and Development Lottery Fund and the shortfall of £10,000 from Derbyshire County Councils' Youth Service.

Early in the year we were approached by Derbyshire County Council with regards to taking onboard and adopting the former school playing field of the now closed Lakeside School in the Parish as a public park. As this was at the same time as the M.U.G.A. funding was coming together it was considered to be a good idea to site the M.U.G.A. on the Lakeside Field. However, Erewash Borough Council considered that they would prefer to site the M.U.G.A. on its own land - this being on the Draycott Road Park - and so it shall be. However, there is a delay in getting this project started due to the currently proposed development of a Health Centre on the part of Draycott Road Park to the rear of the Draycott Road Co-operative store. The uncertainties of the final detail of this means the M.U.G.A. must wait a short while so that its positioning on the park is not compromised by the Health Centre development and its associated car parking arrangements.

Meanwhile, the Lakeside Field Park proposal drags along, we have agreed in principle that we will take it on, though we have requested that Derbyshire County Council carry out certain security fencing works before we do so. We will initially have little or no funding to do anything with the park except cutting the grass. Derbyshire County Council is proceeding with developing the future use of the former Lakeside School as a Pupil Referral Unit, the construction of an associated small residential home for pupils who live too far away to allow normal daily attendance will encroach slightly into the field. The planning application for all of this has delayed the transfer to the Parish Council of the field but the proposal is now with The Department of Education in London for final approval. The latest news is that it should take effect in the summer.
I must take this opportunity to thank Councillor Jenny Bartlett for her involvement in the M.U.G.A. and Lakeside projects.

The Armistice Remembrance Service on Sunday 11th November 2007 went well and I must thank our clerk Ken Johnson and Councillor John Hay-Heddle for their hard work in making it happen and go smoothly.

Communications: There have not been any newsletters to residents in this past year, the reason is simple, the two big projects we are involved in at present, the M.U.G.A. and Lakeside Park, are both delayed by others over which we have no control. Soon there should be something to go out as the plans for Draycott Road are finally drawn up and the M.U.G.A. becomes a reality.

Precept: This has been kept at £12,000 for 2008/9 year and as things stand, even with taking on the Lakeside Field, it could remain at this level for at least another year or two.

Finally, I would like to personally thank our Parish Clerk and RFO Ken Johnson, on behalf of all Sawley Parish Councillors, for all his hard work during the year, much of it I would say was above and beyond the call of duty, without him we would not have operated so efficiently.

MINUTES OF THE SAWLEY PARISH COUNCIL MEETING HELD IN THE SAWLEY COMMUNITY CENTRE, DRAYCOTT ROAD, SAWLEY ON TUESDAY 22nd April 2008 AT 7.30PM

Members of the public: 12

---------------------------------------------------------

D.C.C. Report: Cllr Camm reported on the following.

1) The replacement of the pavements in Hey Street is now in hand.
2) Wilmot Street the pavements have now been replaced
3) Cllr Camm also reported on matters raised from the previous meeting,. a) Gravel from a house on Draycott Rd. It appears that this has now been swept clean. b) Bollard missing at Railway underpass. It would appear that this is actually a barrier and has now been reported to the relevant body.

Constabulary: P.C. Paul Day introduced himself as the new Community Police Officer for Sawley.
With regards to crime he informed the members that the crime figures had dropped considerably since January and that he is now looking at giving section 59 notices to any young rider caught on mini motorbikes.
He also mentioned a project he had been working on in his previous area, Borrowash, in which he has a designated area, for the youth that are interested, where they can work on car engines etc. He informed the members that some of the youth of Sawley could also be involved in this. A meeting of the Improvements Committee is to be called at which this idea is to be discussed.

Matters raised in public participation:

1) A delegation of the youth of Sawley attended the meeting and had chosen a spokesman to represent them. Their main request was for a MUGA on the Draycott Rd Park. They were informed that this was in hand and that as soon as the plans for the proposed Health Centre are finalised then the project could begin.
The Parish Councillors congratulated the spokesman and mentioned how pleased they were to see them at the meeting; The Chairman also invited the spokesman to attend the next improvements committee meeting, to be arranged shortly.
2) A question was raised over Lakeside Park; in particular the placement of signs that state it is a park but that there is no entrance. In answer it was pointed out that these signs were put in place by DCC and that although it was a anomaly, in that it is not an open park, there was nothing the Council could do, until a decision is made as to whether the Parish Council takes responsibility for it. At the moment this is still under consideration be the Department of Education

MINUTES OF THE SAWLEY PARISH COUNCIL ANNUAL MEETING HELD ON THURSDAY 10TH May 2006, AT THE SAWLEY COMMUNITY HALL

Present: Cllrs C Housley (Chairman)G Smith, G Daxer, D Watson, Mrs R Allen,.R Allen, J Hemsley, O Llewellyn

Members of the Public: 1

Apologies Cllr Mrs J Bartlett, J Hay-Heddle

1) The Minutes of the Annual Parish Meeting held on the 23rd May 2006 were duly accepted as a true and accurate record

Chairman's Report

Since last year, the Parish Council has achieved several projects all of which have been of great benefit to the Parish. We have managed to provide funding for new windows for the Women's Institute, a new floor for the Scout Hut and funding has been secured for the new bridge and pavement extension project leading from Draycott Road to Haddon Way Playing Field. (I am aware that one or two other organizations have laid claim to achieving this latter project. However I must here reiterate that it is a purely Parish Council project taken from the Parish Capital Grant as were all the afore mentioned projects) With regard to the Parish Capital Grant there was a surplus of some £35,000 remaining after this listed expenditure. I am pleased to be able to report that we have managed to secure this sum of money by having it ring fenced and held over to put towards intended Youth Projects which will be outlined after the Parks and Open Spaces Review.
The Parish Council has paid for the making and erection of a new Village Sign and a number of its members have been extremely active in securing funding for the building of the new War Memorial and its adjacent site. The Parish Council have now adopted the War Memorial and henceforth will be responsible for its ownership and up-keep.
The precept has been maintained at £12,000 (at which sum it has been since the start of the Council some eight years ago with a drop in one year to £10,000 which having made the one off saving was returned to £12,000, This latter containment of the precept has been achieved by savings we have managed to make in various areas, examples being the changing of our insurers, realizing a 50% reduction (saving some £400), and in greatly reducing our administration costs by using Emails etc
The Parish Council has continued and even extended its display of Christmas decorations which appear to be greatly appreciated. Last Christmas saw an extension of the Christmas Lights Competition with both businesses and private houses taking part. We will perhaps be looking at new ways of involving people in our Christmas Competitions which may not necessarily in future revolve around the lights.
The Council has been working for some months with Derbyshire Rural Community Association with a view to involving the youth of Old Sawley in discovering and planning out what might be achieved in the near future for their benefit. To this end the Parish Council have instigated the setting up of an Old Sawley Youth Committee which it is hoped will come into being after the first meeting to be held here at 11am on Saturday the 12th May.
During the past year there have been various opportunities for the training of both Councillors and Chairman. We have had two members take up the offer of training and both attended the two session Chairman's course's, sadly no one attended the Councillors course which is a great pity and which is an opportunity lost to Councillors who could learn how they may improve their input into the parish Council.
The Parish Council News Letter will in future be put out twice a year and the next edition is planned to be going out shortly.
The Councils aim of all the above effort is to do all it can to bring a sense of belonging well-being and pride to all our residents no matter what age group they may fall into.
Finally, we have managed over the year to bring into the Parish for the benefit of all, some £21,000 of outside money which has been spent on the various projects outlined. With the £35,000 hold over towards the Parks and Open Spaces/Youth Project, we are in a good position for the coming year to continue the trend, however, we must diligently search out extra funding to enable us to move forward with improvements for the benefit of all within the Parish.

PLEASE NOTE: THE MINUTES OF THE PARISH COUNCIL MEETING, HELD ON THE SAME EVENING, FOLLOW THE ANNUAL REPORT

MINUTES OF THE SAWLEY PARISH COUNCILANNUAL MEETING HELD ON TUESDAY 23TH May 2006, AT THE SAWLEY COMMUNITY HALL

Present: Cllrs C Housley (Chairman) J Hay-Heddle (Vice Chairman) K Miller, G Smith, G Daxer, Mrs F Aanonson, P Aanonson Mrs J Bartlett

Members of the Public: 3

1) Apologies: Cllrs D Watson, R U Seerius

2) The Minutes of the Annual Parish Meeting held on the 26th April 2005 were duly accepted and signed

3) Reports

Chairman of the Parish Council - Cllr C Housley

This is the first report I have given as Chairman of the Parish Council and as such it is opportune to mention a few changes and improvements which have taken place over the year.
Our new Parish Clerk Mr Ken Johnson, has worked extremely hard at improving the service he provides us with by streamlining his office systems and also in taking every opportunity to attend training sessions. He is also now becoming quite computer literate in respect of Web Sites and he has agreed to take on the running of our Parish Web Site. We can be quite confident that Mr Johnson is a most capable and committed clerk to the Parish Council.
There have been a few changes with the format and seating of the Parish Council meetings which were designed once again to help streamline the meetings ensuring a smooth flow of information and discussion both from members of the public and between Councillors. In general these changes seem to be working and have been accepted.

This year has seen an increase in the Precept we set, of some £2000, which actually equates to a 20% increase. I would remind the Council that from the time the Council was formed, the precept was set at £12,000 and this was reduced to £10,000 when it was clear that at the time we were not spending the total amount, and it seemed unfair to continue to claim the £12,000. However, due to major increases in subscriptions, election costs and changes within the employment laws, we were obliged to raise the Precept bringing it back to the old level of £12,000 for this year. At this stage I should also perhaps point out that the majority of the Precept is pre allocated leaving very little for any new project and it may be that the future will see a rise in the Precept if the Council is to take on any further improvements within the Parish.

The total spend of the Parish Council this year on Projects has been £17,405 of which some £13.416 has been reclaimed from outside sources. The bank balance has seen a reduction of £3,989 from last year leaving us with £17,003 in the bank as at the end of March for the Financial year 2005/06. This outlines the hard work put in by the Clerk and various Committee members who have chased after and obtained outside funding, bringing money into the Parish. Without outside funding, we at present, could not become involved in projects costing large amounts of money.

I have already spoken of the training which our clerk has attended, but I feel it would be very remiss of me not to point out that of 11 (10) Councillors only 3 have taken advantage of any training. It must be then that we should look to a more committed approach to training in the future with many more of you taking up the vacancies on the various courses. Having attended courses I can assure you they are well worth the time and effort. We have a Training Budget, and it is available to be used.

There is much I could speak of in relation to Christmas Lights, Newsletters, Web Site, and completed projects, but feel that to do so, would be taking away the "bread and butter" from the various chairmen of the committees who will be reporting a little later on.

You will all have had a copy of the attendance sheet for the year 2005/006 and it makes interesting reading. However, I feel that anything below an attendance of 6, shows a lack of commitment to the Council and the roll of Parish Councillor and can only urge those with low number to make every effort to "as they used to say in the old school reports" !Do BETTER!

Chairman of Finance Committee - Cllr J Hay Heddle

The Finance Committee met twice during the year. The first meeting in Sept 2005 examined the half year financial situation, set the budget for the Financial year 2006 -7 for approval by Full Council and, considered applications for section 147 community improvement grants likewise. The second meeting, on February the 14th 2006, discussed making permanent the appointment of the Clerk, and various aspects of his terms and conditions of employment for approval by Full Council. It also considered a recommendation from the Auditor about the level of Fidelity Cover held by the Council, and whether our financial procedures were sufficiently proof against fraud and other malpractice.

Chairman of the Planning Committee - Cllr D Watson

No Report

Chairman of the Communications Committee _ Cllr G Smith

The Communications Committee met on several occasions throughout the year. Thanks to Cllr R U Seerious a Parish Council website was set up and this has proved both popular and informative. Working together, Cllrs Peter Aaonson, Seerious and Smith produced a Parish Newsletter which was distributed via the Long Eaton Trader to every house in the parish. Regular news items and photographs were sent and successfully published in the local media. A second Newsletter is planned for mid-2006.

Chairman of Community Improvements Committee - Cllr C Housley

The committee has met officially 4 times during the year 2005/06 and also on many occasions with various members whilst working on projects.

During the year we have been successful in extending the Christmas Lights, thanks to a grant of money from the Erewash Community Fund. The lights can now be seen throughout the length of Sawley. The Christmas Lights Competition was run this year with the inclusion of decorated houses (outside). Prizes were presented at an open evening at the Community Centre when mince pies and a hot drink were made available to all attending.

The barriers around the car parks leading onto the Haddon War Playing Field have at last been erected and once again this is an example of improvements which have been part funded from outside sources in the form of the Erewash Community Fund

The main project this year has been the improvements to the All Saints Church Hall which we agreed to part fund with extra funding being won from the Erewash Community Fund. On the completion of the improvements, the members of the Council were invited to attend an open evening at the Church hall The four who attended the evening were treated to food and drinks before being most sincerely thanked by the Rev Peter Henry on behalf of the Church Hall Committee.

Work of some description to create a proper entrance to the Haddon Way Playing Field direct from Draycott Road is in hand although some of the quotes are quite high. We will be looking again to see what other options might be implemented to the advantage of residents of the Parish.

We are committed to looking at some form of youth work within the Parish and various schemes have been put forward. A meeting is to be arranged with the Youth Work leading Manager of Derbyshire County Council, seeking information and advice. This will in the first place be a meeting with the Improvements Committee and if necessary we will arrange a second meeting for the full Council.

The Village Sign/War Memorial project is progressing. We have been in direct contact with Derbyshire County Council over the usage of the proposed site and they have agreed to its use for the project. Marshall's have agreed to provide and deliver all the bricks and slabs needed and we have just recently been told that our application to the Co-Operative Community Fund has been successful and they have agreed to donate £500 towards the project. A bid has been submitted to the Heritage Lottery Grants Committee for the funds to allow us to pay for the building work and we await with bated breath the results of that application.

A suggestion has been received that an information tablet might be well received in the Trent Lock Area telling of the past history of the area. This is to be progressed with locally interested parties at Trent Lock.

What of the Future

We have been informed that the sum of £25,000 has been carried over from the last financial year in the Erewash Community Fund and we are already looking to projects which will allow us to call down this money for the benefit of Sawley.

We are looking forward to other projects which will improve Sawley and should anyone have any ideas as to good sound projects which will benefit a majority of people we are always pleased to hear of them.

Delegate to DISC - Cllr Mrs J Bartlett
As the continuing Sawley Parish Council representative for 2005/06 I attended five of the seven meetings held by the Development Initiative in the Sawley Community (DISC) during the year. This included the Annual General Meeting held in June 2005 when Mr Brian Burkey took over as Chairman from Mr Eric Turner. DISC continues to be funded by means of a grant from Erewash PCT, subject to submission of annual reports detailing how the grant is spent for the benefit of the local community. After some early difficulties DISC has now negotiated insurance cover for holding public events, effective from July 2005.

Events supported during the year included:

· Participation in the Sawley Community Information Day held at the Sawley Community Centre on 19 May 2005, in conjunction with Erewash Borough Council
· An exhibition stand at Long Eaton Carnival on 22 May 2005, shared with members of the Walking Group
· A number of adult education courses provided locally by Broxtowe College. Attendance has continued to be good despite the introduction of course fees resulting from changes in government funding to colleges of Further Education
· A very successful Senior Citizens' Christmas Party on 15 December 2005 held at Sawley Community Hall
· Submission of proposals and costings to Sawley Parish Council for a village sign following a successful design competition held at the local school. The Parish Council is now actively engaged in supporting this initiative through to completion
· Funding to support sporting activities during the summer holidays in August 2005 and the Easter holidays in April 2006, arranged in conjunction with the Sawley Community Sports Action Group. Events took place at Sawley Women's Institute, Long Eaton School and the car park at Long Eaton railway station
· Financial support to the local police constable, PC Hannah, to provide football coaching for local youngsters which has been very well received by all those taking part

Delegate to Lakeside Infants School - Cllr J Hay Heddle

I attended most of the meetings of the School Governors during the course of the year, including a training day at Morley Hayes. I can report that the performance of the school in all aspects of its performance was either satisfactory or better than satisfactory. The year was marked by two events of great significance: first the head teacher, Mrs Fisher, retired last summer; second, faced with declining school rolls - a situation that I cannot help but wonder has not been, at least in part engineered as deliberate policy by the L.E.A. - the County Education Authority has started the process by which the school may be closed at the end of the school year, 2007. Given that the population of Sawley is set to increase markedly over the next 20 years or so as a result of all the house building activity permitted under recent Government planning guidelines, with a concomitant increase in population and demand for school places, I cannot but see this step as short-sighted. There is a series of meeting arranged by the L.E.A. at the school on 7th of June. I shall of course attend to put my reservations and those of the Parish Council.

The meeting closed at: 7 47pm

Derbyshire County Council Report: Cllr Camm -

Cllr Camm Discussed the proposed closure of Lakeside School and stated that he would fight against it's closure all the way

As the meeting was about to be closed a question was raised from the floor re the imminent departure of the Rector. The Chairman allowed this and the meeting re convened.

The forthcoming departure of the Rector was discussed with great sadness as it was felt, by all present, that he had been both a great support and asset the community. As he is taking up a teaching post, it was felt that the Council would like to show it's appreciation by making a donation towards his needs for his new vocation.

It was therefore proposed, by Councillor G Smith, that a donation of £150 be made this was seconded by Cllr G Daxer and carried by the full Council
