Langtoft Parish Council


Clerk’s Notes of Council Meeting held on Tuesday

16th October 2012 at Langtoft Village Hall

Present: Cllrs Brian Branch (Chairman), Derek Risk (Vice-Chairman), Andy Halfhide, Trish

Garratt, Andy Hallam, Mike Thompson, Colin Larkman, Roy Jackson and Debbie Hallam

In Attendance: Steina Bishop (Clerk), Rosemary Woolley (District Councillor), Kelham Cooke

(District Councillor) and PCSO Michelle Laughton with a Police Cadet. There were 6 members of

the Public.

45/12 Police Update

PCSO Laughton updated the meeting on the activities in and around the Langtoft area. She went on

to state that there have been several thefts in the area of diesel, mainly focusing around the quarry

works. PCSO Laughton also wanted to advise all members of the Parish of Rogue Traders and

Door to Door Sales People.

The Police will shortly be running their “Operation Lighthouse” scheme. This scheme reminds

householders to keep lights on when the property is vacant and not be seen as a target for theft.

46/12 Open Forum

Items raised from Open Forum

Pocket Park – a member of the Parish queried the cost, ownership and viability of this project to all

residents. Council advised that later in the agenda will be a presentation to Councillors with regards

to the feasibility and timescales for this project.

Jubilee Asset – Council was asked if there had been any assets purchased for the Jubilee

Celebrations this year. Council confirmed that nothing had been brought/installed for the purpose

of the Jubilee.

Gritting Costs – Council were asked what the budget figure and current costs were for the Gritting.

Cllr Risk confirmed that the Gritting cost for the last financial year had been taken out of this year’s

fund, due to the late submission of invoice. Therefore, the council could potentially have two

gritting payments to pay for in this financial year.

Speeding – Council were asked if the village could use either the smiley

face sign or a speed camera within the village. PCSO Laughton confirmed

that these are on a rotation system and could potentially receive one or the other every 3rd week.

PCSO Laughton will look into this and advise to the Clerk. The council were also asked if it

would consider purchasing a speed sign, stating the speed you are travelling. Cllr Halfhide ad-

vised that this had been looked into a few years ago and that the Road Safety Partnership was

keen to follow this through but they nor Highways would not carry the cost. Action: Clerk to

speak with Northborough Parish Council and Maxey Parish Council to ascertain how they

received their speeding signs. Cllr Risk confirmed that the County Council had neon signs

available a few years ago and asked the clerk to speak with County Councillor Robinson.

Action: Clerk to speak with C Cllr P Robinson

Traffic Light Installation Cost – Council were asked if a breakdown of cost for the traffic lights at

the Crossroads could be obtained as the cost quoted by C Cllr Robinson at the last meeting was

very high. Action: Clerk to speak with C Cllr Robinson to enquire as to the feasibility of

obtaining this breakdown.

County Council Maintenance – A member of the Parish discussed the maintenance contract via

Lincolnshire County Council and stated that it was not of a very high standard, although the

village did achieve third in the Best Kept Village Competition. The Council took the opportunity

to thank all residents and Malcolm Cullingworth (Council Gardener) for their hard work and input.

Open Forum finished at 7.30pm

Main Agenda

47/12 Chairman’s Remarks

LANGTOFT GRAPEVINE


49/12 Approval of Minutes from previous meeting (4th September 2012)

The minutes of the previous meeting were approved. Proposed:

Cllr M Thompson, Seconded Cllr A Hallam and agreed by all members.

50/12 Clerks Report on matters outstanding

Langtoft came third in the Best Kept Village competition and 3 representatives have been asked

to attend the Presentation evening on 21st November. Recommendation from Council would be

the Chairman, Cllr Branch, Malcolm Cullingworth and to ask a member of the Parish that has

helped with maintaining the Village. Cllr Risk recommended a younger member of the Parish

attend.

The notice board at the corner of Truesdale is still being heavily impacted by the overgrown

hedge behind it. Action: The Chairman will speak with householder to request the hedge be

cut back.

The bin at Black Bull Green Park has now been removed. Cllr Garratt queried as to why there

were 2 bins at East End Park. Council confirmed that these bins were not heavily impacted by

dog walkers and were used for the use of litter and therefore were easily maintained.

An email had been received from Langtoft Players, requesting the possibility of the Parish

Council starting their meetings at a later time. Council resolved that the Clerk contact

Langtoft Players to ask for their reasoning prior to any decision from Council.

An email had been received from a member of the Parish asking that in the absence of the

website administrator that another member of the Council be permitted to update the website as

necessary. Council agreed that if the need arises then the Clerk could action any updates.

Within the website report, a new resident had completed a feedback form saying that the website

was well kept and full of useful information. Council thanked Cllr Risk for his efforts in

maintaining the website.

CHURCH NEWS

Christmas Tree Festival

This will take place in church over the weekend of 15th/16th December. The

decorated Christmas trees look particularly lovely against the background of the

ancient church, so do come and enjoy them. The church will be open on Saturday

15th from 10am to 4pm. In the morning there will be a church market selling home

made produce and a selection of seasonal goodies. On the Sunday the church will

be open from 11.15am to 4pm. Light refreshments will be available both days.

Travelling Nativity

Our knitted travelling nativity set of ten figures, a donkey and several sheep, will be

making its way round Langtoft during December, staying with a different family in

turn. The figures are child friendly and great fun to play with. If you have young

children, or maybe grandchildren, and would like to host the set for a couple of days

during December, please let me know as soon as possible.

Memorial Windows

In the Lady Chapel of the church are three 'Memorial Windows' where anyone is

welcome to place vases of flowers in memory of people who have died. There are

also some candles in the chapel which can be lit in memory of loved ones, and a

prayer board for personal requests. All requests for prayer are brought to 'Prayer

Time' which is on the first Saturday of each month at 9.15am in the Lady

Chapel. This is when we bring before God any particular concerns affecting our

community and the people who live here.

Cllr Jackson stated that the only agreement that Council would need to

consider, is if Council were to purchase this area of land, would the Council

want a lay by put in or a space for car parking. At this stage the Council agreed that

a lay by would be the best option as it will not have a huge impact on the area, nor attract visitors

from neighbouring towns and villages. Action: Clerk to arrange meeting.

LANGTOFT GRAPEVINE

As I write this we are coming to the beginning of the season of Advent, the Christmas season will soon be upon us and Christmas

Day itself, followed by the season of Epiphany. But if you read it in January we will have passed into what the church calls Ordi-

nary Time: the period from Epiphany to Ash Wednesday.

Ordinary time sounds rather plain and, well, ordinary, and I suppose that, compared to the great festival seasons such as Advent,

Christmas, Epiphany, Lent and Easter, with their special services and commemorations of stages in the life and ministry of Christ,

it is: ordinary.

Much of Christ’s life must have seemed at the time to have been ordinary. We know very little of it. After the story of his birth and

the family’s flight into Egypt we hear only one episode of his early life until he begins his ministry at around the age of thirty. That

episode is itself a marvellous mixture of the ordinary and the unusual. Christ is taken as a young boy to Jerusalem, to the temple,

and on the way home is found to be missing. His distraught mother and father search for him amongst their companions until at

last he is found debating with the scribes and lawyers: the learned teachers of the law and of the Jewish religion.

It’s an ordinary boyish adventure for him to be on his own doing what he finds interesting and absorbing, with an ordinary boy’s

forgetful disregard of parents and times and warning; and many of us, both as children and as parents, have experienced it. It

usually ends in a good telling off and, happily, that is usually the end of the matter.

But the usual adventures of little boys involve fishing, or climbing trees, or playing football rather than engaging in deep theologi-

cal debate, and they usually involve other boys rather than serious men of great learning. This ordinary adventure is actually

extra-ordinary; and extra-ordinary because the central character is extra-ordinary. The little boy will become the man Jesus, and

the man Jesus will change the world.

In the church year’s Ordinary Time there are no special seasonal carols such as we have at Christmas, or any different services

to mark a particular season like Easter. Nothing is out of the ordinary – and yet it is all extra-ordinary, for the God we serve and

the Christ we worship are themselves extra-ordinary.

Even in the church’s Ordinary Time we remember that our extra-ordinary God comes to us in the extra-ordinary person of Jesus

and dies an extra-ordinary death - for us.

There is nothing ordinary about that.

With every blessing,

Michael

LANGTOFT PEARL BOWLS CLUB

Not much to report in this edition as it is closed season, although a number of Members do play Indoor Bowls at Stamford, Peterborough and Spalding during the winter months. Also the green and surrounding areas require maintenance year round and so the Club remains active, particularly on Wednesday at the Coffee mornings. These enjoy a good attendance of both Members and other folks who enjoy a chat and unlimited coffee and biscuits ! The 2012 season concluded with the annual Dinner and Presentation eve-ning at Milton Golf Club and the AGM in the Village Hall in October. Both events were well attended and it is pleasing that the majority of Club Committee and Team Captains positions were filled for next season. The Club's next major event is our annual Quiz Evening, to be held on Saturday 9th February at 7-30pm in the Village Hall, which is always well supported by friends within the Village ,as well as Club members. All are welcome and should you require any further information please contact me on 01778-344190 and I will be pleased to let you have full details and an entry form. Roy Sharland Committee Member

LANGTOFT GRAPEVINE

IN MEMORY OF BRYAN SWAIN

Jo and family

Would like to thank you all for the wonderful support given to us at this sad

time. It has helped us all.

Bryan started his life in Melton Mowbray, grew up in Cyprus and then served 23

years in the RAF finishing at Cottesmore in 1993. We lived in Stamford then

and he ran the independent travel agent, Stamford Air Link which was in North

St. He always had a deep love of horses and rode his own horse Diamond in

dressage, show jumping and cross country events.

In Feb 2000 he suffered catastrophic injuries when he collided head on with a

drunk driver who was on the wrong side of the road. In 2002 we moved to

Langtoft and from the very first visit we felt at home here. It was a great part

of rehabilitation for Bryan. Many of you will have seen him riding his 3 wheeler

bike down to King St and he loved it when people greeted him. He also

continued to ride his new horse, Rickster, (including on the day he died) and

regularly competed in national competitions for Para Dressage. Being with his

family and dogs and tending his garden and pot plants also gave him and us

such great pleasure.

Thank you to all who took the time to attend his funeral; to Rev Michael Howard

who conducted such a comforting service; to Alison for the beautiful music and

to Sinatra’s for providing the buffet at our house.

Langtoft is a lovely place to live.
