MINUTES



Minutes of the Trowell Parish Plan Steering Group
meeting held at Trowell Parish Hall on Wednesday 27th February 2008 at 7.45pm


Present: Councillors: Graham Lockwood (GL), John Bryant (Secretary) (WJB), Mrs. Julie Bryant (JEB), Margaret Birkitt (MB), Keith Birkitt (KB), Rob McGann (RM), Cynthia McGann (CM), Pam Cardwell (PC) plus, Neil Jackson (NJ) Chair, David Wilsher (DW), Jean Chapman (JC) and Tony Ward (TW) Broxtowe BC.

1. Apologies for absence
Received from; Pat Wilson WI (PW) Sarah Waite (SW) Treasurer, Andy Lord (AL) and Carola Jones (CJ) RCAN.

2. Minutes of January meeting: GL moved the minutes and this was seconded by KB and agreed by all present.

3. Matters Arising: None reported that was not on the agenda.

4. Short reports back from action groups plus Trowell Football Club: No new reports

5. Treasurers Report: WJB reported that the Invoice for the Trowell Brochure had been paid that day.

6. Trowell Brochure: GL reported on the latest position regarding the Trowell Brochure. The final proofs had been sent to the printers and he thanked all those who had been involved in proof reading. It was expected to have the finished product in the next week or so. As the Trowell Times distributors were being asked to deliver the brochures via the Parish Council (TPC), KB expressed a little concern at the size of the brochure for posting and GL felt that it would not be a problem in most letter boxes. JB reported that TPC had agreed to fund the posting of the Trowell Moor and Nottingham Road areas.

7. Trowell Information Sign: WJB reported that he had Emailed Cllr Ken Rigby informing him that BBC needed to contact Helen Foster design for the artwork for the Trowell Information Sign.

8. Parish Design Statement Update (Local Development Framework) and Urban Development report: WJB had previously circulated the response from the East Midlands Minister - Phil Hope MP to the Group. TW explained where BBC were with this consultation and reminded those present that it was still an in-house consultation until May when it will then be opened for public dialogue. The Core Strategy is a wide-ranging task involving all the local authorities, before this is passed upwards to regional and national forums via the Government Office. TW advised that the PDS still needs a Sustainability Appraisal but this really is not yet the time. TW answered various questions of concern from the Group about the likely outcome and the meeting felt assured but wary. WJB asked TW if he would contact the other relevant authorities involved in the Core Strategy to inform them of our PP and PDS and he agreed to do this on our behalf.

9. Any other business:

1. WJB raised the issue of the "Welcome to Trowell Pack" which had been suggested by a sub-committee of the TPC during discussions on the Annual Parish Meeting just over one year ago. It had recently been raised at a couple of meetings and it had been suggested that this Steering group may wish to take this on. After some discussion it was unanimously agreed that WJB raise this at the next TPC meeting with a view to TPC organising any subsequent funding if the scheme is adopted. It was not felt that there needed to be much expenditure owing to the limited number of packs likely to be required annually.
2. WJB raised an idea put forward by the Trowell Postmaster that we could look at producing a Trowell Postcard. Whilst applauding the idea the Group agreed that it was not something appropriate to the Parish Plan and it was suggested that WJB contact the Postmaster and suggest he take this up himself as a commercial undertaking.

10. Date of next meeting: The next meeting is Tuesday 25th March 2008 at 7.30pm.


There being no further business, the meeting closed at 8.47pm
