POTTERHANWORTH PARISH COUNCIL Minutes of Meeting held on Monday 12 December 2011 at 7.30pm, Pavilion, Queensway, Potterhanworth Public Open Graham Scott, Chairman of the Moor Lane Allotment Association, outlined the plans for a metered water supply to the allotment site. Anglian Water have agreed to provide a metered connection at the roadside and the owner of the site has agreed to excavate a channel in which the mains will be run to the centre of the site. From there, a hosepipe will supply water to each plot holder’s water tanks. Mr Scott understands that the Parish Council holds an amount of monies from the former Village Produce Association (VPA). The Allotment Association is asking whether some of these VPA funds could be used to purchase a hosepipe and reel, approximate cost £250. The Parish Council agreed in principle to support the request. The item will be put on the agenda for the January meeting, by which time Mr Scott has agreed to provide accurate costings. District Councillor Frost has spoken to planning regarding the new build house near the Pavilion track on Queensway. The house has remained unfinished for a while now and rubbish is accumulating. Planners have now inspected the site and have asked the builder to clear the site of rubbish and move the fence that is on NKDC property. NKDC Planners are also monitoring the Old Chapel along Barff Road and whether planning permission is required for additional building work. County Councillor Marianne Overton updated the meeting on County matters, in particular future plans outlined in the Joint Core Strategy document for a further 4,500 homes on the outskirts of Lincoln. Councillor Overton also said that there are surplus monies available to Parish Councils resulting from unspent councillor’s allowances, worth approximately £200 for each Parish Council. Suggestions for the use of the money are to be sent to Councillor Overton. Parish Councillor George Holmes said he met with Highways recently. The path along Barff Road will be repaired in 2011/12 and also Highways will consider extending the footpath along Moor Lane further towards the allotment site. White lines have now been painted at the Moor Lane/Queensway junction.
