The Chairman introduced Jo Parker as the new Community Emergency Plan Lead. He explained that Jo had taken on the role of C.E.P lead and had been reviewing and updating the document in its new format which had been circulated around the councillors prior to the meeting.

Jo explained that the model documents of the CEP from the Lincolnshire Resilience Forum is a foundation document in skeleton form to be built on and tailored to meet the needs of the community in preparation for when emergencies arise. She aims to recruit more people to step up when needed, a group similar to the setup during covid to help with shopping supplies and collecting prescriptions etc.

She noted that the CEP is useable document and using guidance from the LRF she will be filling out more details to cover a range of emergency scenarios. She suggests getting a team together to meet every quarter to update, review and build on the plan. She asked for any thoughts on how to get people on board. The clerk highlighted that the newsletter is due to be published distributing in July and if Jo would like to create an article for community helpers it could certainly be added in. The clerk could also post this on the website, social media and put posters advertising the role on the village notice boards. Jo noted that there are specific locations around the village where there are vulnerable residents and to ensure extra help is sent where required it would be beneficial to have register identifying residents that may need extra help and support in a crisis to ensure resources are available.

The Chairman and councillors thanked Jo for taking on the role and building on the CEP with her knowledge and expertise. It was agreed and RESOLVED to approve the reviewed document.

 

83. Public Participation

At 7.40pm the meeting was adjourned for public participation. Two residents wished to speak.

The first resident updated the council on the leak saga at the village hall. The contractor capped 6ft of pipe and connected the plumbing and no leak could be seen. AW have come out and said that they will change the meter. The whole issue has cost £1,500 plus four months charge of water and sewage charges. AW were asked to change the meter in February which they didn’t. The village hall intends to start the process of being reimbursed.

The Chairman thanked the resident for the update and hoped that they village hall are able to reclaim what is owed plus compensation.

At 7.44pm a resident informed the council that after 11 weeks the CCW has been in touch and assigned a representative to deal with the case. The Chairman questioned what outcome the resident wanted to achieve.

The resident stated that she endeavours to obtain written evidence of what has been found, what they have corrected, a schedule of future maintenance and compensation. The resident should receive answers by next week and will update the council at the next meeting. The good will gesture received doesn’t even cover one year’s house insurance as this is now through the roof.

The Chairman thanked the resident for the update and wished her all the best in obtaining the information she requires.

At 7.45pm the meeting was closed to the public.

 

84. To discuss flooding updates and agree next steps

The clerk informed the councillors that she had received correspondence from a resident stating that AW have approved works to reline the sewer to address the issues raised at the last meeting.

 

The clerk has been in touch with the Stow Clerk and have provided her with a link to the riparian rights booklet for her to display on her website to benefit Stow residents.

 

The council responded to the landowner of the field behind Ashfield but has had no further response since.

 

A response from Anglian Water regarding suggested dates for a site meeting stated that they recognise the concerns raised by the Parish Council and residents and are committed to working collaboratively to resolve the issues. They would welcome a meeting to review the findings in detail. The Water Recycling team have confirmed availability on 9 June at 2:00pm and propose that this initial meeting is held via Microsoft Teams to share CCTV footage, survey data, and technical findings effectively. They suggest that this first session is held between Anglian Water and the Parish Council.

Cllr Cook, Cllr S Christie and Cllr Hawke volunteered to join the teams meeting to review the CCTV data and findings, press for updates on their progress towards reducing the flood risks within their responsibility- principally Capps Island, Stow Road, High Street, Fleets Road and Queensway, highlighting field run off paired with unmaintained ditches which inevitably put pressure on the highways assets and report back to the meeting. He highlighted once again that with no register of landowners it is very difficult ascertain the ownership of parcels of land. It was identified that over the road from the bottom of School Lane/High Street there is a roadside ditch which takes the runoff from the field, but the water ends up in the gateway to the field. Cllr S Christie questioned where it goes as this is a prime spot for flooding.

It was noted that knowledge of a resident that resides near to School Lane could verify the direction of pipes from the field entrance. Cllr C Christie proposed that the Chairman visited the resident to help obtain the information. Clerk to update the flooding log from the floods on 28th February 2026 to enable councillors to compare with the flood log from March 2025 to established areas of concern.

 

Despite replies to residents the parish council has not received any replies from Sir Edward Leigh from either letter regarding dissatisfaction regarding the duty of care of ongoing flooding issues.

 

Highways have highlighted that they would be unable to attend the site meeting request as there are mechanisms in place via our elected member to arrange meetings should circumstances dictate that there is a specific and pressing issue to discuss. It was more widely they felt that engagement via the ‘Flood Risk Group’ is already in place. Unfortunately, neither department are not staffed to attend meetings as part of normal business, as they cover the entire county.

 

The Flood and Water Team would like to know the length of the watercourse at the field of Ashfield to determine if they would help educate residents and the landowner of their riparian rights despite fences being installed in front of the watercourse. Cllr S Christie offered to help the clerk work this out on google maps.

Information has been passed on to the flood and water team via a resident regarding landowner of the field behind Capps Island and the clerk requested that with this new information that the team investigate this area and help ascertain levels of water flow and recommend a course of action. 

Their response was that the comments and concerns regarding the parcel of land at Capps Island and watercourse are noted and shall be looked into as resources permit. Further updates shall be provided as it becomes pertinent to do so.

The flood and water department has asked that in respect to the site meeting could the Parish Council confirm what the scope of this meeting would be, i.e., what other areas would be discussed on the day so that they can review the request in detail as they are having to take into consideration all existing priorities and workloads that they are involved in. Upon receipt of this information, they will then engage with colleagues and respond back accordingly.

The Chairman requested that the clerk issue the up-to-date flood log with to the LCC Flood and Water Department and highlight areas of concern from Capps Island through the village to Bransby Crossroads.

 

Project Groundwater hosted a Community Drop in 19th May 3-7pm with support from Cllr Cook and Cllr S Christie. Cllr S Christie informed the clerk that she should receive a summary of the event and information on an additional flood sensor monitor which is to be installed in a ditch on Saxilby Road next to the sand box to help provide further data of flooding in this area. The clerk noted that she had not received any information to date and would send an email to the project groundwater team.

 

At 8.04pm Cllr Mullally joined the meeting.

 

85. To approve minutes of previous meeting in May 2026 and authorise the Chairman to sign

It was agreed and RESOLVED the May 2026 minutes as presented and authorise the Chairman to sign as a true record.

 

86. To receive the Clerks Report

The Clerks report can be viewed as Appendix A.

In addition to the clerks report it was noted many reports on Fix My Street had been fixed. The section of the footpath from Tillbridge Road to Kisgate has been assessed and it was noted that the condition of the surfaces does not meet intervention levels but have been passed onto Highways for consideration to include in the next slurry seal cycle. Bradway to Upper Close and Upper Close to Fleets Road have been reported but are yet to be assessed to see if they meet the intervention level.

The two wooden bus shelters are to be replaced by LCC for a less enclosed design to deter ASB. Design specifications will be solid back panel, see through and ¼ sides to deter ASB yet provide shelter for other users. It is likely that the colour will not match current bus shelters in the village.

Lincolnshire County Council would will take full responsibility for:

•            Installation (4-6 months)

•            Ongoing cleaning

•            Future maintenance costs

    The clerk will remove the wooden bus shelters off the asset register and insurance schedule for the next       review.

The wet pour maintenance could not be carried out as expected as with current high temperatures the rubber would not cure. The wet pour maintenance for the village hall playpark is still scheduled for a dry day. A playpark closed sign has been prepared and a temporary lock will be arranged to secure the playpark whilst the wet pour is drying.

It was noted that the AGAR documentation has been submitted and documents have been published as required and both School Lane and Stow Road school hedges had been cut in the half term. Cllr C Christie highlighted that she had approached the contractor and requested that he gave the hedge a harsher cut to enable the streetlighting column, telecommunications pole and the fire hydrant marker to be visible. He had said that he would pass the information on and he was returning to cut the school hedge on Stow Road the following day/ In her opinion the hedge needed a harsher cut as the maintenance door on the telegraph pole cannot be reached.  The clerk said she would approach the headteacher with the feedback. The tree safety surveys have been completed, and we are awaiting the documentation.

Lastly 3 of the 4 Speed Indicator Posts have now been installed. LRSP have offered to help activate and position the signs after 8th June. The Highways team have struggled with the post along the Marton Road. Highways have hand dug all around and there’s so much other utility equipment, that they just can’t get a post in. They are going to have to find another location, potentially on the other side of the road.

 

87. Correspondence received.

Correspondence from WLDC regarding redacting councillors home addresses from published register of interest forms to comply with the upcoming legislation. Councillors can however choose to “opt in” if they do wish to continue having their home addresses visible on a public register. All councillors have unanimously chosen to opt out.

93. To approve the June 2026 accounts (circulated)

It was noted that the invoice and supporting documents from RW Tree Service were not received in time, so this payment was not included in the accounts. It was noted that the wet pour maintenance was not completed due to the high temperatures and this to has not been included in the accounts.

Differentiation between the ear marked reserves and general reserves have been identified on the monthly reserves sheet. The savings are unable to be retracted from the reserves as the budget figures and reserve figures will not stay aligned due to income being received throughout the year and not at the start of the financial year like the precept.

Following discussions at the last meeting the clerk obtained further information regarding CIL money. The local planning authority receives the funds from planning applications within 60 days of the commencement of work, they are required to pass 15% (capped) or 25% (with a Neighbourhood Plan) to the parish council. The clerk informed the council that she had contacted local organisations to evidence original expenditure of previous grants 25/26. She noted that remaining evidence from FOSSA was still outstanding.

It was agreed and RESOLVED to approve the June 2026 accounts.

 

At 8.28pm one resident left the meeting

 

94. To agree the monthly reserves summary sheet (circulated)

It was noted that Cllr S Christie and the Clerk had been working on the reserve sheet for this financial year. The clerk has ring fenced £8,000 into a general contingency fund for unexpected expenditure that has not been budgeted for. The purpose of the general contingency fund is to ensure there are funds to cover emergency of unexpected costs and cashflow protection as part of risk management.  It is in the best interest for the council to build on these funds for unforeseen expenditure such as absence of a clerk, emergency expenditure. LALC recommend 3-12 months of the council’s net revenue expenditure should be saved.

Cllr S Christie stated that the cost of the emergency repairs on the bus shelter last month should come out of the general contingency/unexpected expenditure fund. The clerk has successfully inputted the new budget figures into the account’s software alongside the ear marked reserves. By emptying remaining figures from the reserves and ring fencing the £8000 this should give the council a clearer figure when drafting the budget for next year. She advised monitoring the budget and unexpected expenditure closely to show any room for improvement in the budgeting process. Although difficult to present the true figures on the reserves sheet during the switch from financial years 25-26 to 26-27 and the new process. The clerk was confident that the monthly reserves sheets from the start of the year correlate with the reserves on the account’s software.

It was agreed and RESOLVED to approve the June 2026 monthly reserves sheet. 

 

95. To agree bank reconciliation.

It was noted that Cllr S Christie had reconciled the end of year banking at the end of the last meeting.

It was agreed and RESOLVED to accept the hard copy bank reconciliation provided by Cllr S Christie and the electronic bank reconciliation produced by the Clerk on the account summary sheet.

 

96. To agree a transfer a sum from the current account to the savings to account to accrue interest

It was agreed and RESOLVED to transfer the £10,000 back that was transferred to help facilitate the end of year 25/26 (Minute 358 meeting 03/2026) with a further £5,000 to the savings account to accrue interest. Clerk to add transfers to the July accounts for authorisation.

 

97 To discuss VACANCIES LEFT UNFILLED AT THE ELECTION BY REASON OF INSUFFICENT NOMINATIONS- Two Vacancies available.

It was noted that the next edition out the newsletter was due to be published and distributed for July and that the Show Committee has invited the Parish Council to have a table at the Annual Show. The clerk advised that it would be a good Community engagement exercise and could raise awareness of what they parish council and hopefully interest residents to join the council. The councillors agreed to attend to raise awareness and engage with the residents for ideas towards future projects and hopefully recruit two more councillors. The clerk mentioned how the primary school recruit school governors and suggested that she asks the school if they can circulate a vacancy poster to parents to spread the word further. The council agreed that it was a good idea and an avenue that had not been explored before. It was agreed and RESOLVED to approach the school with a vacancy poster and information, publish an article in the newsletter and attend the Annual Show in October.

98. To consider and agree whether to resume Best Kept Garden Awards and discuss arrangements for (Date and judge)

It was discussed that the competition has run its course and only very few residents show interest. It was agreed and RESOLVED to discontinue the Best Kept Garden Awards and retire the competition from future years.

 

99. To discuss and approve the hedge tender specification for a two-year fixed price contract with a possible extension for an additional two years ready for tendering 26-28

The hedge tender specification was discussed. Cllr S Christie proposed to cut all locations twice a year to keep on top of growth and keep the village looking presentable and to tender for a two year- fixed price contract with a possible extension for an additional two years. It was agreed and RESOLVED to make these amendments and to put the tender document on the July agenda for agreement to go out to tender.

 

100. To agree to submit a comment on the proposed updates to ensure the Local Validation Lists remain up to date, proportionate, and aligned with current national policy and guidance.

It was agreed and REOLVED that our current comments to the CLLP review remain unchanged and no further comments were required, therefore a comment was not required.

 

101. To consider and agree engineers’ recommendation of a Fire Risk Assessment for the OSR carried out by MJL Fire Safety Service for the cost of £595 + VAT.

The clerk explained that upon the annual inspection of the fire extinguishers the fire and safety engineer had questioned the current OSR risk assessment. The clerk showed him a copy, and he had informed her that it was not adequate as risk assessments must be signed off by a NEBOSH trained officer. He informed the clerk that MJL offer this service and would cover the same areas as on the current risk assessment. Similar to the annual playpark inspection they would make recommendations on fire safety. The proposed annual risk assessment is costly and further recommendation such as the installation of fire doors could increase this further.

At 8.53pm the Chairman adjourned the meeting to question the treasurer of the village hall regarding their fire risk assessment. The treasurer confirmed that they have had a fire risk for the village hall. He stated that the initial risk assessment was carried out by an independent contractor and was costly, though the criteria will differ from the parish council due to number of users of the village hall.

The Chairman thanked the treasurer for his input and resumed the meeting at 8.55pm

The Clerk suggested asking LALC if what the engineer proposes is necessary for a building that is not in frequent use. The Chairman suggested that perhaps the fire brigade could offer advice for a more cost-effective inspection.

Clerk to contact the fire station for advice.

It was agreed and RESOLVED to research other cost-effective options.

 

Two members of the public left the meeting at 8.57pm

The Play Inspection Company £381.60 including VAT or ROSPA £261 ex vat. It was agreed and RESOLVED to resume the annual inspection with ROSPA. Clerk to arrange.

 

103. To discuss and agree to adopt Compassionate Leave Policy

As highlighted at the last meeting, the internal auditor had recommended the adoption of a bereavement policy. The clerk has tailored a Compassionate Leave Policy from the LALC portal that documents the process of requesting compassionate leave and covers Bereavement Leave. It was agreed and RESOLVED to adopt the Compassionate Leave Policy.

107. To discuss findings of the walkabout inspection and agree works needed

It was noted that the clerk had circulated a summary of findings from the annual walkabout inspection and had circulated this document prior to the meeting.

The clerk summarised that concerns raised were mostly overgrown hedges and trees and across the board Parish Council assets were in good order. It was reported that the dog waste bin opposite number 19 Fleets Road would benefit from a clean and that the hedge behind the bench on the Bransby/Saxilby Road Junction needed trimming back to allow for the bench to be utilised safely. Clerk to liase with Bransby Horses Home. The OSR cleaner has highlighted that there has been a brown drip mark appearing in the hand wash sink and that the pipes in the toilet have been turning brown the last couple of times that she has cleaned. The clerk noted that there has been an unpleasant odour lingering in the OSR which was very apparent at the last meeting. It was discussed that now the postman is not using the room the water is only being ran biweekly when the OSR cleaner cleans. It was discussed that it would be beneficial to run the water at meetings.

It was identified that the virgin media green boxes dotted around the village served no purpose and was suggested that the parish council requested for them to be removed.

It was noted that the replacement of the litter bin in the Allan Close playpark, Twitchell potholes, the gap in the wet pour around the roundabout in the village hall playpark and the damaged wooden bus shelters was in hand. Cllr Calder volunteered to remove and dispose of the perspex window that is in the ditch as this could impact on flooding.

It was noted that there were lots of potholes on Thorpe Lane outside of the unfinished building and that the roadside channel on Thorpe Lane is overgrown with weeds and needs to be swept by WLDC. It was noted that this is out of the 30mph therefore may not be in the road sweepers remit.

The ditches on the west side of Saxilby Road are overgrown with vegetation. This was identified as riparian rights from the homeowners and landowners adjacent to the ditches.

It was noted that two community speed watch signs have been damaged, the clerk informed the council that she is waiting on delivery of two replacement signs and wheelie bin stickers.

Cllr Cook noted that the village sign mounting post opposite the village green needs a repaint and the plinth brickwork needs making good and the dry potted conifer needs replacing. The clerk asked if this would be in the handyman’s remit. The council agreed to instruct the handyman carry out the maintenance as part of general maintenance.

It was highlighted that the verge opposite Obams is non-existent and needs reinstating. Cllr Cook suggested to send correspondence to Cllr Wimhurst as advised by Highways.

Cllr Cook highlighted that the Old Rectory Park road sign has been collided into. There are deep ruts, potentially caused by a van/lorry on the verge, over hanging branches on the footpath on Old Rectory Park/ Stow Road junction. Cllr Christie commented that this is a private road. Cllr Calder said that this area is owned by LSH residential and it would be for them to reinstate. Cllr Cook commented that the ruts and the untidiness that they present as well as the danger that the low over hanging branches. Cllr Cook suggested that the clerk writes to LSH residential to inform them of the concerns as they pose a danger to residents and are diminishing the look of the village. Clerk to make contact with LSH residential.

It was noted that only outstanding reinstatements remain at Capps Island from the Quickline installations. The other areas have been rectified by our grass cutter and/or residents to even the verge for the grass cutter to carry out his cuts. Clerk to inform Quickline.

In regard to the overgrown hedges and trees it was noted that an article in the newsletter would be beneficial to educate residents to check their hedges as it was noted that many resident may not walk past their homes as they leave in cars. In the event that hedges and trees remain maintained further action will be taken via reports to Fix my Steet. It was agreed and RESOLVED to action the work required.
