Clerk’s Report 1st August 2011 Reference Shire Village Hall Grant: I have clarified the position concerning all councillors signing documents: At the Parish Council meeting 2 people have to be nominated and agreed by the Council that they can sign the documents in connection with the acceptance of the £4000 grant, and the £4000 loan. The minutes of the meeting have to be signed by all members of the council in attendance at the meeting, complete with addresses of those councillors. If the Council cannot be agreed upon 2 people, all the councillors have to sign the required documents. The essence of the documents is, that the Council is to be responsible for the correct administration of the grant and loan, to ensure that it is applied to the purpose for which it was granted, and that the Parish Council allocates the necessary funds to repay the loan according to the agreed schedule. It is not intended that any councillor should have any personal financial liability for the repayment in the event of Council default. This funding, together with £4,000 identified by Mike Thomson, woul match fund £12,000 from the H&BBC Parish initiative fund , all of which is intended for Insulation, windows and heating , there is a time dead line for spending it, which I think is February 2012, this needs checking. Richard Windley has been informed that the Parish Council resolved to take part in the Rural Housing Survey, and Richard has acknowledged agreement The new bank mandate is now in place The cost of the web site will be £375.00 per year (calculated on value of precept ). I met Andy Long from LCC Surveyors Department on Thursday 28th July 2011- The purpose of the visit was to try and establish if there was any liability on the Coal Authority for subsidence which has obviously occurred at Bagworth. Andy had a walk round inspection, took several photographs, and was going to check record and information held at the office. He will contact me with a plan of action. I have spoken to Richard Clough of Severn Trent re our site meeting on 4th July 2011, he said that rangers will be on site on the 3rd August 2011 to try and improve the vision on the entry and exit to the car park at the reservoir, and he has reported the concerns on the general safety issues with street parking, he says that it will not be possible to undertake any major works in the immediate future, as the funding for capital projects is extremely limited. I have spoken to Anil Kumar ( Marrons), He has just returned from holiday this morning. Re Bagworth New Woods, he does not think the conveyancing will cost more than £1000 plus VAT. It is unlikely that the work will be completes prior to October 2011, but in the event that it is quicker than anticipated, the payment of the legal fees can be deferred until October 2011. Bagworth Community Centre Gas Supply: I have checked with Energy Supplies Help line, and BCC is not registered with any supplier, and we can choose anyone we wish. We have a contract for Thornton gas supply with British Gas, and we have a contract for electricity supply at BCC with Eon. I can only suggest we check the unit price with each supplier, or any other. Eileen has received correspondence today concern the Bosworth Area Crime and Safety Forum, which we can read in correspondence.
