11/04/15          Discuss the lease of the Outdoor Bowls Club lawnmower lease

Following a request from the Parish Council to the Outdoor Bowls Club for a financial contribution toward the cost of the service for their lawnmower, it has been brought to the Councillors attention that 12 years payments of £300 have been made to the Council from the Outdoor Bowls Club.  This equates to 3600, when the cost of the lawnmower was only £3000.  Therefore, as the Outdoor Bowls Club have overpaid on the cost of the lawnmower, on a proposal from Cllr Brumpton, seconded by Cllr Mrs Murray, following a vote it was unanimously RESOLVED that the request for a financial contribution would not be pursued.

In light of the overpayment, on a proposal from Cllr Mrs Murray, seconded by Cllr Brumpton, following a vote, it was unanimously RESOLVED to transfer ownership of the lawnmower to the Outdoor Bowls Club.  The Clerk was asked to write to the Outdoor Bowls Club to state this and that the lawnmower would be taken off the Councils insurance and any further maintenance would have to be paid for themselves.

A meeting of Dunholme Parish Council was held in the Jubilee Room, Dunholme Village Hall on 16th February 2011.



Present:         Cllrs Mrs J Wright (Chairman), M Prestwood, F Elkington, S Barrett, T Brumpton, S Curtis, M Burre, Mrs M Murphy and Mrs J Murray


Clerk:              Mrs L Richardson



11/02/01          Chairman's Remarks

The Chairman welcomed everyone to the meeting.


11/02/02          Apologies for Absence

None


11/02/03          Declarations of Interest

                        Cllrs Mrs Wright, Elkington and Prestwood declared personal interests in agenda items 10 and 11 as members of the DDIBC.


11/02/04          Minutes of the Previous Meeting

On a proposal from Cllr Prestwood, seconded by Cllr Curtis, it was agreed by all that the notes of the meeting held on 19th January 2011 were approved and signed once the following amendments had been made: Agenda item 11/02/17, item 2 Cllr Elkington requested that the words rear of the village hall were added to show the location of the playing field.  Agenda item 11/02/22 stated 10/02/22 instead and this was corrected.


11/02/05          Report from representatives from outside bodies

                        Cllr Mrs Murphy attended a meeting with Directlinc on Wednesday 15th February

                        Councillors from Nettleham, Welton and Scampton together with PCSO from Saxilby attended and there was useful discussion to identify recurring community issues and the barriers faced to address them.  DirectLinc is a system of providing a one stop contact when problems arise.  It went live in East Lindsey and South Kesteven in 2010.  They hope to be County wide by April 2021.

                        Registrations have been slower than expected but already issues such as speeding, damaged signage, paving hazards, etc. have been solved.

                        When a report is made an email is automatically sent to West Lindsey, Lincs CC. and Police, in order to avoid duplication. Issues are reported on the system and  once agency responses are received, the lead agency takes responsibility for next steps.

Cllr Mrs Murphy also attended a Meeting or Welton and Dunholme Tenants and Residents of ACIS on Monday 7th February. It was a very well attended meeting, many residents and tenants from Stewart Close, Welton.  Previous minutes were discussed and then the agenda was loosely followed. New Welton and District PC gave an interesting report and he has undertaken to deal with problems such as speeding and inappropriate parking whenever practical.  My impression was that he will try to present a more obvious face of policing in the area than we have been used to.  Cllr Greenway (Welton Parish Council) talked to us about the new proposed £400,000 extension at Manor Park and is keen to know what facilities the adults in the area would like to see provided.  A new initiative by ACIS "Just the Job" where they will provide up skilling, e.g. interview techniques, help with CVs, etc. in an ongoing 8 week course, has had a good uptake so far.

229

  • 2. The regular maintenance of the grassed areas was and remains carefully monitored by Cllr Elkington.
  • 3. Work is ongoing on the Pinfold...bulbs planted, posts installed, seat ordered and sign pending.

  • 5. Cllr Mrs Murphy is to arrange a meeting with the owners of the Spar Shop and Essential Looks to discuss the idea of creating a focal point to the village centre, offering paint or similar incentives.

  • 6. Initiate a Community Award for work in the community that improves the environment, the life of our parishioners or the wider community in a voluntary capacity. The award to be presented at the Annual Parish Meeting. A framed certificate and a small piece of pottery or glass was suggested for the winner. This will be advertised in the Dunholme News for nominations before midday on Wednesday 16th February 2011.

  • 7. Instead of a garden competition, the giving of laminated certificates to any person who is noticed by Councillors, to be making efforts to enhance the environment. Cllr Mrs Murray is to mock up a certificate to show the Council at the next meeting.

  • 8. The planting of a cherry tree (or similar) to celebrate the forthcoming royal wedding. Suggested location on grass near Church gates and a small plaque of explanation.
