58/19 REPORTS

(a) Borough Councillor’s Report,

Roadworks A number of roadworks are underway in and around Bedford, including Network Rail’s reconstruction of the railway bridge on Bromham Road as part of the electrification of the Midland Mainline. This has led to the closure of the bridge from the 24th June, lasting until spring 2020. A diversion is in place via Clapham Road and the A6. Works are also taking place as part of the Council’s Transporting Bedford 2020 road decongestion project with the installation of a new traffic light system and widened roads at Manton Lane and a closure of one lane at Britannia Road adjacent to Bedford Hospital from the 20th July. In addition, works are to begin in late July, lasting until December, to rebuild a one-mile stretch of the A6 at Wilstead. More details of current roadworks can be found via an interactive map on the Council’s website. Search ‘Bedford Council Roadworks’. Black Cat Upgrade and New Bypass Highways England has announced a consultation on its plan to upgrade the Black Cat roundabout and build a new bypass between the junction and Caxton Gibbet in Cambridgeshire. The roundabout is to be reconfigured and will become three-tier, with the A1 passing beneath the junction and the A421 over it. The new bypass will run south of St Neots before turning north to link with the A428. The estimated cost of the project is £810m - £1.4bn. For more information on the consultation, which ends on the 28th July, search ‘Black Cat Highways England’. The Highways England website provides a useful video showing how the junction will work.



Statement of Community Involvement Consultation The Council is consulting on its ‘Statement of Community Involvement’ setting out how it will engage with residents and community groups in relation to planning matters. The document provides details of how publicity and consultation will be undertaken, as well as guidance on community involvement in neighbourhood planning. The consultation ends on the 25th July. For further details see https://www.bedford.gov.uk/sci Bedfordshire Police Grant Bedfordshire Police has received an £800k grant to tackle gun, gang and knife crime. This sum will be used to establish a Violence Reduction unit where the Police, councils (including the Borough Council), NHS and community groups will share information to identify the drivers of violent crime. The grant is in addition to £1.38m awarded in May and £4.57m in November to address violent crime in Bedfordshire. Mental Health Resource for Children and Young People The Bedfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group (BCCG), the organisation responsible for organising local NHS services, and Bedford Borough Council have commissioned a new online mental health resource for children and young people. The service, called ‘Kooth’, offers emotional and wellbeing support to children and young people aged 11 – 19. It provides one-to-one counselling and self-help materials on issues including exam stress and anxiety for 1700 users logging in every day around the country. For more information see https://www.kooth.com/ Ward Fund I / we have now been provided with details of the Council Ward Fund, which will allow us to support community schemes in the Ward in 2019/20. Please do get in touch if you would like to discuss any potential schemes. The following deadlines apply: highways and greenspace – 13th September; litter bins / salt bins – 22nd November, and; projects supporting external organisations – 13th December. ‘Shared Lives’ Initiative In June the Council promoted its Shared Lives scheme which sees volunteer carers provide short or long term support for individuals with adult learning disabilities. The aim is for the carer to share their everyday life through activities such as going to the

cinema, a football match or community event. For more information search ‘Bedford Shared Lives’, email [email protected] or call 01234 228426. An allowance is payable to carers. Over 70s Exercise Classes The Council is running a programme of exercise classes for over 70s during the summer. The sessions, covering sports such as archery and table tennis, cost £4 each and will be held at the Athletics Stadium, Bunyan Centre and Bedford Central Library. For further details call 01234718835 or search ‘Bedford Council exercise classes’. Councillor Rigby reported that there were plans to improve traffic around the town by carrying out improvements to junctions. One of those junctions was the Shakespeare Road/Bromham Road junction. Planning Application 17/02242/MAO - Land at Stagsden Road - Outline application with all matters reserved except access for the erection of up to 80 dwellings with garaging was due to go to the Planning Committee in July. A planning application for Land at Bromham Road, Biddenham had also been submitted and would be received by Parish Council for consideration.

(b) Bromham Village Hall Report

Music in the Marquee takes place on Friday 12 July. The Village Hall received a grant of £3,000 from Gale Family Charity Trust for remedial works to the Village Hall/replacement chairs. An application has been submitted to Councillors Rigby & Gambold for ward funding to upgrade the CCTV.

(e) BATPC Report

Councillor Luder attended the June meeting of BATPC. There was some discussion regarding the recent elections. There were three new seats to be filled on the County Committee. Several Parish Councils were short in numbers, with only 16 parishes having contested elections. BATPC’s Office was situated at Baystrait House, Biggleswade. Councillor Luder stated that Baystrait House would soon be subject to a change of use, resulting in BATPC needing to find new premises.

59/19 UPDATES ON CURRENT ISSUES

(a) Vacancies

Ben Piercy-Hughes attended the meeting to be considered for one of the vacancies for Parish Councillors.

Ben moved to Bromham in March 2019 with his wife and son. He previously worked in Sales and Marketing and has recently set up his own gardening business. Ben was interested in becoming more involved in the community, and in particular, Planning and Amenity decisions. Ben stated he would be happy to volunteer and become involved in Parish Council events.

RESOLVED

That Ben Piercy-Hughes be co-opted onto Bromham Parish Council.

(Proposed by: Sian Woodfine, Seconded by: Anne Baker, All in favour)

(b) Bromham Mill

Bedford Borough Council had indicated that the report to agree the Heads of Terms for the lease of Bromham Mill had been drafted and should be signed by the Mayor during July 2019. The key outstanding issue was the rent free period. The Parish Council and Bromham Mill Trust would prefer a 2 year rent free period with a preparedness to reduce if an acceptable level of rent was achieved.



As previously discussed, Parkinson Partnership had been asked to give advice for Bromham Mill VAT.

F&GP confirmed Parish Council’s decision to run Apple Day.

(c) Neighbourhood Planning

The group continued to assess the responses to the Regulation 14 Consultation.

(d) GP Surgeries

The Petition from Mr Peter Jones and Bromham residents had been submitted to Bedford Borough Council. It would be received by Full Council on 17 July 2019. Residents strongly opposed the loss of medical provision in Bromham, the relocation of existing doctor surgeries out of the village should be resisted. Bromham was large and expanding village and deserved local medical provision; the neighbourhood plan should allocate land for such provision in the village. Councillor Woodfine urged Councillors to attend the July meeting to support Peter Jones. Councillor Rigby discussed the planning application in brief and was of the opinion that Bromham should retain its own GP surgery.

Note

(e) CIL/S106 Provision

Bedford Borough Council letter re Regulation 14 pre-submission consultation 8 April 2019 says

• Part D should also include a statement of the Parish Council’s priorities for spending the proportion of CIL money it will receive.

Parish Council agreed to defer this item to the September meeting.



(f) Steven Eagell – Loading Bay on Stagsden Road

After meeting with Steven Eagell, Bedford Borough Council and Parish Council it was agreed that Bedford Borough Council would draw up a proposal for a loading bay on Stagsden Road. It was agreed that safety around the garage was the greatest concern. Parish Council considered the drawing. Councillor Woodfine highlighted that it had been suggested that the traffic island would be removed, this was not shown on the plan. Councillor Rigby to raise with Andrew Prigmore.

RESOLVED

APPENDIX B

Bromham Parish Council

DRAFT ONLY

OPEN SPACE MANAGEMENT POLICY

Bromham Parish Council (the Council) aims to maintain to a good standard the land it holds as public open space on behalf of the parish. The Council in managing their land will consider the protection of flora and fauna and the impact on wildlife.

Grass

Much of this land is mainly down to grass: accordingly, the only maintenance requirement is for the grass to be mown with sufficient regularity to reflect the season and other growing conditions. Requests for changes to management of grass cutting will be considered by the Amenities Committee.

Note: It is recognised that some residents prefer to see long grass and wildflower areas implemented to promote biodiversity. Parish Council know from experience that the majority of its residents prefer grass in verges and within the residential area to be maintained.

Note: Wildflower Areas have been considered but not progressed because of the amount of work required to deliver a successful display.

Trees & Shrub Beds/Hedges

Some of the land contains mainly trees and shrubs and so needs a more sensitive maintenance regime. The Council will use up-to-date independent1 advice in planning the maintenance of these areas. The objectives of such maintenance will include provision for the promotion and protection of a diverse flora and fauna. Most of the maintenance work in these areas will take place during the winter months to minimise the adverse impact on wildlife. Another consideration in such work will be the need to avoid Council liability for damage to others’ property from falling, overhanging or encroaching trees and shrubs, balancing those considerations with the need to preserve trees and shrubs wherever possible.

Programme of scheduled maintenance

The Council will publish its programme of scheduled maintenance, other than grass-mowing, each September following an inspection of parish-owned land by the Clerk in the preceding summer. The programme will be available on the Council website, parish notice boards and will be set out in the autumn edition of the Bromham Broadsheet.

1 Advice will be sought from Bedford Borough Council, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire

Wildlife Trust or an independent consultant.



Where an area of parish land with trees or shrubs requiring maintenance work is immediately adjacent to a resident’s property, the Council aims to give two weeks written notice of the date that work is due to commence to the households affected.

There will be occasions due to unforeseen circumstances, such as storm damage or vandalism, where necessary works cannot be scheduled in the normal way. Depending on the nature of the problem, the Council will seek to undertake repairs as soon as it is practicable to do so. Where such work is immediately adjacent to a resident’s property, the Council will try to provide as much notice to affected households as accords with the need to have the work done quickly.

Tree & Woodland Work

For all tree and woodland work, the Council will only use contractors who are experienced in such work and who are content to act in accordance with the independent advice referred to in paragraph 3 above.

Bulb Planting

Bulb Planting is carried out annually by a volunteer group. Areas for planting are agreed at the Amenities Committee.

Other

Salem Thrift, Bromham Nature Reserve and Bromham Mill are managed in consultation with other experienced bodies1
