21.   TO RECEIVE AN UPDATE ON PROGRESS ON THE PARISH COUNCIL’S PROJECT TO PROVIDE TWO  EVENINGS YOUTH PROVISION AT THE YOUTH CENTRE

A meeting had been held on 17th July at the Maple Tree Centre to discuss the Youth Club provision. Cllrs Stacey and Carr had attended along with County Councillor Purse, Dan Evanhuis and others (Fusion) and representatives from OCC and users of the centre.- Record of meeting to be circulated.

The F&GP committee emphasised that the provision should be 2 weekday evenings a week, 7pm to 9pm.

Costings for the use of the centre had just been received – £3,163.51per annum.

A Memorandum of Understanding between the Parish Council and the Headteacher and Governors of   Great Milton Primary School (who are responsible for the running of the Centre) would go before the next Parish Council meeting.

Cllr Carr made the following points:

The age groups should not be mixed; the Parish Council needs sight of the Qualifications and CRB checks of the youth workers/leaders; volunteers should not be leaders; neighbouring villages should be encouraged to send their young people to the centre and to contribute to the cost,

County Councillor Purse said that in her statement to the cabinet of Oxfordshire County Council in support of the bid she had emphasised the need for strong, qualified youth leaders due to the problems that Wheatley had had youth anti-social behaviour in the past. She said she would encourage other villages to come on board.

22.   To consider AND REPORT ACTIONS FOLLOWING THE FLOODING IN THE VILLAGE ON FRIDAY 6TH JULY INCLUDING asking OCC to arrange a special clearance of all the village gullies before the onset of winter.

It was Agreed to write a letter of thanks to the Oxfordshire Fire Service for all their work on the 6th July in dealing with the flooding that took place in the village.

It was also Agreed that OCC be requested that the blocked gullies in the village should be cleared –especial attention should be paid to those on Ladder Hill, Station Road, Holloway Road and London Road.

23.  TO RECEIVE AND CONSIDER THE REPLY FROM OXFORDSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL ON THE COST OF PROVIDING A FOOTPATH AROUND THE ROUNDHOUSE AT THE JUNCTION OF HOLLOWAY ROAD AND CHURCH ROAD

Costings had been received from the County Council re providing a footway around the Roundhouse.

It would cost £7,000 to provide a footway from Holloway Road around the Roundhouse stopping at the bus stop and a further £4,000 for the footway to extend to the ‘Keep Clear’ sign on the road by the

Gates. This extra section would have an effect on the on-street parking which the Highways Department

would not be happy with.

Cllr Carr proposed and Cllr Stacey seconded that the F&GP committee recommend to full council that the Parish Council requests the County Council proceeds with providing a footway around the Roundhouse from Holloway Road to the bus stop pole on Church Road for a cost of £7,000. This was AGREED

Unanimously

24.   TO CONSIDER THE EFFECT OF THE NEW FUNDING ARRANGEMENTS FOR LOCALISING SUPPORT FOR COUNCIL TAX

As part of the 2010 Spending Review the Government announced its intention to localise support for Council Tax from 2013-14 and to reduce expenditure on this benefit by 10%.

The existing arrangements for council tax benefit are standardised across the country and are paid for out of national taxation. The new arrangements will be implemented by amending the Local Government Finance Act 1992. The new localised schemes will be implemented in the financial year 2013-2014. The Bill is central to delivering the Government’s commitment to reducing expenditure, increased devolution of services through Localism and cutting benefits with the aim of stimulating economic growth. This Government will only be providing a grant to fund 90% of the council tax benefit liability so the localised schemes have to address how to cope with the 10% shortfall in funding. The potential impact on town and parish councils as precepting authorities could be considerable particularly where there is a high proportion of council tax benefit claimants. The Government expects billing and local precepting authorities to work together to manage the potential impact of the Council Tax reductions on the local precepting authority Band D council tax levels

South Oxfordshire and the Vale of White Horse District Councils will be holding four seminars to explain the implications of the new scheme. All town and parish councils are invited to attend a seminar at either venue (maximum of two attendees from each town/parish).

The seminars will take place at:

South Oxfordshire DC – two sessions, between 12.30 and 13.30 lunchtime and between 18.00 to 19.00 in the evening. Both to be held in the council chamber at Crowmarsh on 19 September

Agreed that the clerk and Cllr Reilly attend on behalf of the Parish Council

25 TO CONSIDER A RESPONSE TO THE CONSULTATION ON THE ELECTORAL REVIEW OF SOUTH OXFORDSHIRE BEING CARRIED OUT BY THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOUNDARY COMMISSION

This item had been referred to F&GP from Parish Council meeting held on 2nd July

It was Agreed that it would be sensible for Wheatley and Holton to be in the same ward. The clerk to respond making the case to the Commission.

26. TO CONSIDER A REQUEST FROM THE WHEATLEY ARCHIVES TO USE WHEATLEY PARISH COUNCIL’S WIFI SYSTEM TO ALLOW THE ARCHIVES TO CONNECT TO THE INTERNET.

There was a mixed response to the request. Some Cllrs expressed concerns over security and the ethicacy of a public body allowing its wifi connection to be used by another body. Other councillors felt that provided the wifi was password protected and usage by the Archives did not affect the speed of the parish council’s connection, then there should not be a problem.

The clerk was asked to do some more research.

27.  CLERK UPDATE

i) Tree work in the village –The clerk indicated that he would be asking for more work to be done on the  trees in the village.

ii) Consultation – Cheque Signatories Legislative Reform Order – Parish Councils were being consulted  on the use of electronic means of payment.

iii) To consider paying the 2012 Society of Local Council Clerks Subscription for the clerk – £175 – Agreed

iv) FOR INFORMATION ONLY- The County Council had asked for the Parish Council’s views on the 275 Oxford/High Wycombe service using the London Road only through the village ie not coming down Holloway Road and along Church Road. To be on next Parish Council Agenda.

28. TO RECEIVE A REPORT ON THE PARISH COUNCILLORS’ VILLAGE WALKABOUTS HELD IN JULY – Noted

Replacement of sand pit at Cullum Road – a brief discussion took place on what might be installed. Cllr Dalton had written to the committee suggesting a sensory garden might be provided. However over all the committee felt that maybe ‘adult’ fitness equipment might be welcomed.
