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
