SEPTEMBER 2022 UPDATE
WILTSHIRE POLICE CONSULTATION EVENT AT THE HUB
This will take place between 1000-1200 on Thursday 29 September. Please pop along and have a chat with Insepector Pete Sparrow and PCSO Jonathon Rose.
PARISH COUNCIL MEETING- The next meeting is Wednesday 12 October 2022
WAR MEMORIAL
Works to the grass areas around the war memorial started last month with scarification also now having been undertaken to get the grass back to looking its best. It will most likely look a little worse for wear during the process for a few weeks following.
NEW COUNCILLOR
The Council welcomes Martin Altham on to the Council following the resignation of Justin Alison earlier in the year.
BROAD CHALKE EMERGENCY PLAN
A £1000 grant has been secured from SSE for equipment to support Emergencies in the village. We have been reviewing the Emergency Plan. If you feel you could assist as a volunteer, should we have an emergency situation in the village/Chalke Valley, please contact the Clerk.
CHALKE VALLEY FETE AND PRODUCE SHOW. This was a successful return of the Fete and Show to the Sports Ground with over 600 people attending and raising £3000 towards 'Good Causes' in the Chalk Valley. Many thanks to all the volunteers that helped make the afternoon such an enjoyable occasion. The Parish Council support the event taking place annually and an announcement will be made later in the year as to the date. The Fete Committee have allocated a small fund to receive applications from organisations supporting the community if the Chalke Valley.
LOW LANE FOOTPATH
The Council has now secured half the funding for this project which is a key element of the Neighbourhood Plan that was unanimously adopted in the Referendum in July 2021. The balance of funds is now being put together and a decision awaited from Cranborne Chase AONB. Anticipated start on site will be autumn. There will be some disruption to access during the works. Full details nearer the time.
PARISH PRECEPT
The Council's Precept for 2022/2023 is an increase from £9,372 to £10,652. On a Band D property this represents an increase of £3.53/month. The Council will start considering funding requirements and Precept level for 2023/2024 at meetings through the autumn. One key area requiring finance is the play area.
ANNUAL GOVERNANCE AND ACCOUNTING STATEMENT- The latest Statement and Internal Auditors Report can be found on the Annual Governance Statement page. The external auditors did not require any further information from the Council and have signed off the accounts and Governance Statement for a further year.
