TOWN AFFAIRS

 

At the meeting of Southwold Town Council held on 25th October 2011

Notes from the Town Clerk

These notes are not a substitute for the report of the meeting which will be published in due course as a basis for the adoption of formal minutes.

  • Suffolk County Cllr John Goldsmith attended to provide a report from the County Council, and to take questions. Cllr Goldsmith advised the meeting that he had spoken to SCC Highways regarding the request for roundels to be placed on the A1095 Halesworth Road and been told that there was no necessity to have roundels placed there as the street lights were enough indication that it was 30 mph speed limit. Cllr Goldsmith had spoken to the police who said that the police would be discussing this and taking it into consideration.
  • Cllr Goldsmith had spoken to SCC Cllr Judy Terry regarding Southwold Library and been told that this would be discussed at a cabinet meeting on 8th November 2011 when a final decision would be made.
  • Waveney District Cllrs Cllr Allen and Cllr Ladd attended to provide a report from the District Council, and to take questions. Cllr Allen reported that major equipment would be on site at the Harbour in December, with work due to start on the Harbour wall in January 2012. The Town Council was advised that it has been agreed with the Environment Agency that the Boating Lake can now be filled by seawater. It was confirmed that the Environment Agency would not require an abstraction licence and any future arrangements would be between WDC, the Environment Agency and the leaseholder of this facility. The Town Council was advised that the Waveney Local Plan is with the Planning Inspectorate and that part of the Plan had been approved.
  • PCSO Gary Wallace provided the Police report. The meeting was advised that there had been seven recorded crimes since the last meeting, and that this was down 50% for the same period in 2010.
  • A resident spoke regarding the planning application for Bakehouse Store, Blackmill Road, advising that there seemed to be a lack of provision for off-street parking There was also the problem of drainage, as the drains from the properties in the High Street run into the drains in Blackmill Road and are often blocked.
  • The planning appeal for the site at Munchies, 2 East Street was noted.
  • Eight planning applications were considered by Council. After full discussion, it was agreed that Council would make recommendations to Waveney District Council as follows: to approve the extension of time for 4 Blackshore Cottages; to approve the work on two chestnut trees at 43 Stradbroke Road; to refuse, with observations, the conversion from shop to residential at Old Bakehouse Store, Blackmill; to approve, with observations, the application for non-illuminated advertisement sign at 10 Market Place, for W H Smith Plc; to approve the construction of additional covered boatyard space at Harbour Marine Services, Blackshore; to approve the construction of a single-storey rear extension and insertion of rear dormer and bay windows at 7 Park Lane; to approve the felling and removal of six leylandii at Bartholomew Green; and to approve, subject to Conservation Area Consent being given if required, a replacement shop front at 2 Church Street.
  • The Minutes of the Meeting of the Town Council held on 27th September 2011 were confirmed and signed.
  • The Council received reports from the meetings that town councillors and the Town Clerk (Mrs Lesley Beevor) had attended, including those relating to: the organisation of Anzac Day; the organisation of celebrations for the Diamond Jubilee; the Harbour Users Group; the Southwold Harbour Lands Trust; the Southwold & Halesworth Priority Setting Meeting; and the Southwold Millennium Foundation, for which Cllr Temple was appointed as a Trustee. Cllr Bradbury provided a verbal report on a meeting he had attended about pylons in the Waveney Valley which will transport power from the new wind farm, and Cllr Doy had attended a meeting of the St Edmund’s Hall Committee.
  • The Town Council considered promoting a ‘Citizen of the Year Award’ as an award for a member of the community who has contributed to the town during the year. It was suggested that a recipient of this award could be nominated by town councillors and be presented at Charter Lunch, and this was agreed in principle, with full details to be considered further.

Additional notes from the Editor

More detail on those crime figures. There were a total of seven offences reported between 28th September and 25th October:

  • One case of criminal damage to a motor vehicle.
  • Six cases of theft (one involving a pedal cycle, one a dog’s bowl, and four involving items stolen from vessels at Blackshore).

Fourteen offences were reported from the same period in 2010 and seven in 2009.

The meeting was also informed that Waveney had given its approval to the planning applications for developments at 1A Chester Road, and the former Eversley School Gymnasium. It had refused the applications for developments at 10 North Green (two applications). The application for St Edmund’s Hall had been withdrawn.
