Minute 16/137: Cllr Seed reported that this had gone back to the Community Governance Review.

STEEPLE ASHTON PARISH COUNCIL 16/174 From 08/08/16 meeting: Office Lease
Decision deferred previously: To discuss and decide on whether to agree in principle the terms of the draft agreement. Forwarded to Cllrs 01/08/16 Minutes: After discussion it was agreed that Councillor Arnold would raise the following questions with the SMBMC at their meeting on 17/10/16:
i) The lease mentions TERM, but there is no definition. ii) There does not appear to be a notice period for Tenant to Landlord.
Minutes: A meeting to discuss the Christmas Lights Switch on event was planned for 6
th October. Not sure whether we still have access to Father Christmas this year. Mr &
Mrs Peters have offered to supply mince pies, but would like to have an idea of numbers.
2. Elections 2017 Minutes: As possibly 4 Councillors will not stand for re-election in 2017, it was decided to put something in the Parish Magazine to try to sow a seed. The Chairman asked Councillors to ask around to try and encourage potential newcomers onto the Council.

16/176 Acreshort 1. Parking update
Minutes: Cllr Price reported that the final surface is now down and the area is looking good.
2. Play Equipment update Minutes: Councillors were shown ideas of what sort of equipment could be purchased and the associated cost. It was decided to produce a scale plan of the field for the November meeting, so that Councillors could see the ideas of the Working Group in terms of size and location of a new play area.
3. Landscaping discussion. Minutes: Councillors were shown planting ideas to soften the fencing and add interest elsewhere in the field. Cllr Burge informed Councillors that the tree previously in the middle of the car park had been bought by school children in memory of a Mr Moon and they also planted daffodils in a crescent around the tree.
i) It was agreed to allocate up to £200 for some planting around the fence, which could be spent now.
ii) It was proposed that the field be called Acreshort Park. No vote was taken. iii) It was agreed that a scale plan was needed, so that Councillors could
decide where non-fence planting would be located, to ensure that it would not compromise future ideas.

16/177 Natwest Business Reserve Account Mandate Change This account, which is a deposit account, holds just under £8200 and is the money which was previously ring-fenced for the Recreation Group Pavilion Project. The purpose of this resolution is to remove the previous clerk and add the current clerk. The bank will then be able to talk to the clerk and she can find out how we can access the money. The internal auditor previously suggested that we streamline the accounts, which we can look at once the authorised signatories on the mandate have been changed. Minutes: It was resolved that the authorised signatories in the current mandate for the account ending in 0147 be changed to remove Judith Buxton Dean and add Lynda Beaven. Also to amend the correspondence address from the home address of Mrs Buxton Dean to that of the Parish Office and the current mandate will continue as amended.

STEEPLE ASHTON PARISH COUNCIL 16/178 Defibrillator update
Minutes: 38 people attended the Awareness session held on 26th September in the
Methodist Church. It was a useful session and has hopefully given people an idea of how the machine operates and how important CPR is, over and above using the defibrillator machine. A rota has been set up to check the machine. Currently 5 of us on it, taking one month each, doing a weekly check and uploading the findings to the website. The clerk has produced an emergency sheet with the defibrillator information and will place it in the football changing rooms. It was agreed to thank the Methodist Church by making a donation of £50 from the Chairman’s Allowance.
LB LB
16/179 Dog Poo Campaign update The clerk asked for feedback on the dog poo campaign in the September newsletter. Minutes: The view from most councillors was that there was less poo around. It was agreed to carry on with the trial and purchase more bags when required.
LB
16/180 Football Minutes: The following was noted:
1. £80 received from the Under 17 Trowbridge Ladies team. 2. FC Bradford are now playing their home games at Poulton, Bradford. 12/09/16
the clerk emailed for the 3rd
time asking for payment of £330 (11 home games in 2015/16 season). Ascertained that one game played elsewhere due to pitch. Apparently they sent a chq for £240 as they said the pitch wasn’t marked for a couple of games and the grass was long. I emailed back with evidence that they knew the PC were not responsible for marking the pitch and that they should have let me know if the grass was too long. They would still have used the showers. Agreed to pay £300 but asking for 3 installments of £100.
3. 11/09/16 Email from Darren Cooper to say that Steeple Ashton Youth team are
folding, due to lack of interest.
4. 12/09/16 Invited Adrian Giles from the Stiffs to the Awareness Seminar. He happens to be trained in the use of defibrillators as part of his job, but will see whether anyone else would like to go.
5. Sunday 18/09/16 one off hire by Bob Arberry on behalf of Mid Wilts Youth
under 17 Team. We received £15 cash even though I asked for £12.50.
16/181 Parish Steward The following items were identified as being the Top 5 issues which need addressing in the parish
1. Hand clearing and cutting of growth from drainage grips and drain gully covers 2. Clearing of small culverts, pipes and pits 3. Treatment and removal of weeds 4. Sanding and painting of the barriers in Sandpits Lane 5. Siding out of footways and carriageways
Minutes: Cllr Ellis has received an email with the Parish Steward contact details, so will follow this up, with a view to meeting in the parish. .
JE
16/182 Highways 1. WC SID. Adrian to collect.
Minutes: No update given as Cllr Philpott was not present.
2. The clerk has not contacted Jerry Wickham regarding the group SID scheme as a formal decision had not been made by SAPC. Minute 16/146 on 08/08/16
AP
STEEPLE ASHTON PARISH COUNCIL only said to pursue the individual SID available from WC.
Minutes: Decision deferred until Cllr Philpott present.
16/183 Open Forum To hear views expressed by members of the public relevant to planning matters.

STEEPLE ASHTON PARISH COUNCIL Appendix 1
Item 7 Dropped Kerbs Email from Stuart Renfrew 16/08/16
Hi Lynda, I was asked by my Divisional Highway Manager to assess the viability of using tarmac ‘fillets’ to allow pedestrians, using wheeled apparatus, to more easily travel from the estate of Holmeleaze to both the Methodist chapel and the village shop. My reply to him detailing my findings is attached and it was decided that such fillets would not be appropriate in this particular case. Accordingly, it would be for Steeple Ashton Parish Council to decide whether to support the installation of six lowered kerbs (3 pairs of 2), or four if you agree with my ‘dog leg’ red route across Sandpits Lane. If in agreement then the PC should raise an Area Board Issue Sheet which can then be discussed at CATG. After my inspection on the 27th July, I called at the home of Mr Martin and spoke with him about my findings. This was in addition to speaking to Mr Martin on the telephone before my attendance to inform him that I was now in receipt of his letter and would be investigating. I would say that the issue is not so much our ability to contact Mr Martin, rather whether he fully understands the information given him. He has a tendency to intricately weave his Wartime experiences into both his letters and verbal conversations making it difficult for me to follow his thought train and be sure that he knows how this issue is currently being progressed. Kind regards, Stuart.
