Entrance by Ticket Only From: Available Sue 01205 480826 Pam 01205 480430 or ANNUAL PARISH COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON 11 MAY 2017 There was one member of the public present Apologies were received from Cllrs Cooper, Spring and Dodds Present: Cllrs Sherriff, Edwards, Perham, and Bolland (Chairman) The Chairman of the Parish Council gave the following annual report: everyone to the Stickney Annual Parish Meeting. Firstly we welcomed “Welcome two new Councillors onto the Council, Councillor Cooper and Councillor Sherriff. Sadly Councillor Woods has resigned and we would like to thank him for his work as a Councillor for many years - this means that we have a vacancy on the council and if anyone is interested in becoming a Parish Councillor please contact the clerk. We started negotiations to take on the Picnic area but the County Council seem to be dragging their feet about the situation with the Toilet Block. Ideally it will be taken down, leaving the amenities, so that if we ever need to use the water or electricity the supply will be available. This will mean that there will be no council tax to pay on the picnic area and the Parish Council Insurance will cover any liability insurance at no extra charge. The Parish Council will be responsible for the grass cutting and general maintenance. We felt that the area should be an asset to the village and if we take on the responsibility we can ensure that this will be the case. LCC, now the elections are out of the way, should be sorting out the specification for the removal of the toilet block hopefully something will – happen this year. As you will have noticed the County Council have changed the footway lights to go off at midnight and in the winter they will come on at 6.00am. The lights in the area of the Picnic Site were scheduled to be removed, however, when the Parish Council pointed out that the lights were opposite World of Furnishings they agreed to keep them on as it could prove hazardous when lorries are arriving and leaving the site at night. We keep reporting potholes and other road safety issues which are eventually dealt with. Thanks to the members of the Jubilee Committee for all their work in raising funds and putting on a very successful show in July last year. After five years the
