FLY TIPPING - BY THE FLEA

BRAINED

Another recent incident is pictured of fly-

tipping on Dunkerton Lane. A big shout out

is due to BANES for their speedy response

in clearing up this mess which was, clearly,

a load of domestic rather than commercial

rubbish.

I think there’s an academic chair in

psychology waiting in some university for

the person who can explain the mindset of

the morons that do this.

It’s the mindset that says, “Shall we drive 2

miles to the local recycling centre and get

rid of this stuff we don’t need? No, I know

what – instead we’ll drive 4 miles out into

the middle of nowhere and dump it on the

side of the road. Then the rubbish fairy will

come in the night and magic it away.

Sorted”

It beats me.

Please do join us for the SOUP LUNCH in aid of WELLOW RIDING FOR THE DISABLED on Sunday 15 March (DPH 12.30). Lunch will be FREE OF CHARGE and there will be a voluntary collection box for Wellow RDA. Sophy Bayntun-Coward, who is one of the Trustees, will be there to chat with people about its work. As she explains, volunteers are needed as well as money:

Wellow Riding for the Disabled offers disabled children and adults in and around Bath the chance to ride and be with horses. As well as fantastic physiotherapy and the chance for the less mobile to move autonomously, riding greatly benefits mental health, providing a chance to learn new skills and to spend time outside with our calm, friendly horses. The whole group is run entirely by volunteers but our overheads are still sizeable. Any support, financial or as a volunteer, will be gratefully received. If you are interested in volunteering please do get in touch with Ann Allen 07713 639125

This is an opportunity for people in the community to get together, enjoy some food and, if possible, give a little money to a deserving cause. Don’t worry if you don’t have any money (or volunteer time) to spare, come anyway - you will be very welcome!

The Annual Parochial Church Meeting will take place in the church on Sunday 22nd March at 10.30 (after the service at 9.30). If you would be interested in serving on the PCC, we’d love to hear from you - please do get in touch with me between now and then.

SUNDAY SERVICES

From The Rectory

Dear Friends,

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace

as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with

hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

[Romans 15.13]

The season of Lent is the time of year when we

prepare ourselves to enter again into the Holy

Week-Easter cycle: the death of Jesus Christ on the

cross on Good Friday, and his glorious

breakthrough to new life on Easter morning. This

annual cycle is also precisely the pattern of each

and every Sunday when we come to church to

worship. In the early Church, each Sunday was

known as the feast of “little Easter”. To those first

Christians, every Sunday was a summons to the

joy and optimism of the resurrection as they broke

bread together in remembrance of Jesus.

All of this is summed up in the words we declare at

the Eucharist: “Christ has died! Christ is risen!

Christ will come again! These are words that speak

of the past, the present and the future. These are

words that also speak of our past, our present and

our future. These are words that breed in us a

confidence that leads us to love as He loved, and to

live as he lived: without condition, and without

end.

Someone wrote, “A person is always a Christian in

order to become one.” The cross and resurrection

of Jesus empower us with hope. The hope is that

we can always be more than we are at this

particular moment.

I’d like to end this month’s letter with a prayer

written by a man named Charles de Foucauld. He

lived most of his adult life as a hermit in the

Sahara, in surrender to the Lord:

Father, I abandon myself into your hands; do with

me what you will. Whatever you may do, I thank

you: I am ready for all, I accept all. Let only your

will be done in me, and in all your creatures. I

wish no more than this, O Lord .Into your hands I

commend my soul; I offer it to you with all the love

of my heart, for I love you, Lord, and so need to

give myself, to surrender myself into your hands,

without reserve, and with boundless confidence,

for you are my Father.

In Christ,

COUNCIL

Report on the Parish Council Meeting 9 January 2020 DPH

HIGHWAYS AND RELATED MATTERS Overgrown Vegetation on the B3115 Near Manor House Bend Following a request from a parishioner this will reported to BANES Council via “Fix My Street”. Withyditch Road Markings We were advised by our Ward Councillor that the slow markings would be repainted in the spring. Withyditch Traffic Calming Request Following a request from parishioners, the parish council requested BANES consider installing traffic

calming measures at Withyditch. BANES traffic management team’s response is that they have limited resources to develop and introduce highway improvement schemes across the authority, including those that are aimed at reducing vehicle speeds or modifying driver behaviour. It is essential, therefore, that these limited resources are directed towards those locations where the need is greatest and, at the present time, this invariably means only on roads or junctions where there is a significant and proven road safety problem. Overhanging Vegetation Brooklands Vegetation clearance to clear the street light would be completed on the north side of the lane by Curo before the end of March. The owner on the south side had made an attempt to cut back the ash tree but had been unable to get high enough to tackle the boughs necessary. He is considering further options. Visibility & Traffic Speed when Exiting Crossways Park onto the A367 In response to the parish council’s request that the speed limits on the A367 between the Odd Down and PSJ roundabouts be regularised, BANES traffic management team has said that the speed limit changes have been placed on their future schemes register for future prioritisation and possible funding. Visibility Palmers Lane/B3115 Junction BANES highways has reported to the parish council that, following a discussion with their senior traffic engineer, a request was made for the local police beat officer to visit the area and engage with residents who park in this area and highlight the concerns in terms of potential impact on visibility. RURAL TRANSPORT There will be a publicity campaign to increase the awareness of the community transport options available via the BANES website, and to encourage communities to set up lift sharing schemes.

FINANCE The balance of funds as at 9 January is £12,206.41 and without Community Infrastructure reserves is £11,206.41. A budget for 2020 2021 was approved that resulted in the precept being increased by 85 p per annum based on a Band D household. PLANNING Planning Applications Status Report 19/03467/CLEU Westbury Farm - Use of site for car repairs with related covered parking and storage (Certificate of Lawfulness for an Existing Use). LAWFUL 19/04817/CLEU Staff Accommodation King William IV Inn Bath Road Tunley - Use as a separate dwelling house (Use Class C3) together with internal and external works to form an extra bedroom at first floor level. Certificate of Lawfulness for an Existing Use or Development) LAWFUL 19/04865/FUL Lower Tunley Farm Stoneage Lane Tunley - Erection of new farm building PENDING DECISION. Note the planning officer is to re-consult with the parish council when an update on the drainage matters has been received. 19/04930/FUL The Old Stables Manor Farm The Hollow Dunkerton - Extension and alterations to incorporate an existing redundant farm building, including a link between the two buildings PENDING DECISION Planning Application Consultation News The parish council responded to a consultation on19/04913/FUL Hillcrest, Bath Road, Tunley, Erection of 2 sheds in the garden. The parish council unanimously supported this application. While the larger shed is not deemed to be completely in character with the rural setting and the green belt due to its white UPVC windows and doors, sufficient neighbouring properties and buildings use similar materials resulting in the larger shed complying with the core strategy and

placemkaing plan policies D2 and GB1. Similarly by it siting adjacent to the Tunley Recreation Centre and behind a tree the larger shed does not restrict the openness of the Green Belt and is therefore compliant with policy CP8. As the outbuildings would be permitted development if they were sited away from the boundary and they replace a previous derelict outbuilding the parish council doesn’t believe the sheds are a disproportionate addition to the original building despite the various extensions already made to the property. Therefore the development is compliant with policy GB3. TREE PLANTING The free Woodland Trust trees of 30 saplings are being delivered soon. The precise planting location will be agreed with the cricket club. NEXT MEETING Planning meeting 19 March Dunkerton Parish Hall if required.

SATURDAY 20TH JUNE FROM 2pm

HOT NEWS ON RUAL BUS

SERVICES – NOW’S YOUR CHANCE! From David Orme Here’s an update regarding the future of rural bus services through the parish. The provision of future bus services will depend to a large degree on the support rural areas receive from the new West of England Combined Authority (WECA). BANES is a member of WECA. This news has recently arrived from our Ward Councillor, Neil Butters who, coincidentally, is BANES lead Councillor on rural transport issues! “I wanted to let you know that local people are being encouraged to give their views on new plans to substantially improve walking and cycling in the West of England. The West of England Combined Authority (WECA) is running consultations on a regional Bus Strategy and a Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) between 3 February and 15 March 2020. WECA, together with Bristol City Council, Bath and North East Somerset Council, North Somerset Council and South Gloucestershire Council, is consulting on its Bus Strategy which outlines how the West of England authorities intend to double bus patronage by 2036. Both consultations can be accessed via travelwest.info/transportconsultations https://travelwest.info/transportconsultations “ (or Google WECA Bus Strategy!) If, as many local residents clearly were, you are really tee-ed off with what happened to the 179 last year and would wish to avoid further similar unpleasant surprises in future then do take a bit of time to have a look at WECA’s bus strategy and respond to the short on-line questionnaire about it before the 15th March. If through this consultation WECA don’t get to hear from residents how important rural bus services are to them then, inevitably, in the future scarce funding will first go into the big city areas and the rural areas will be left with the crumbs.

Dunkerton WI The Dunkerton WI met on a blustery evening on 11th February. Our speaker was Richard Raynsford from Pilton who talked about life with the Glastonbury Festival on his doorstep. He was able to illustrate, with the help of slides, all aspects of the Festival from mud baths to glamping ! Tea followed his talk and the meeting was concluded with a busy agenda.

CROQUET SOCIAL STARTS

THE YEAR

Croquet is a sport that is played throughout the

year at Camerton and Peasedown Croquet Club,

but that did not stop members celebrating the start

of the 2020 season with a Social Get Together and

lunch

Home made casseroles (chicken, fish and

vegetarian options), plus the trimmings – not

forgetting the puddings – all made the day and

afterwards a series of devious quizzes tested the

grey cells

The club has excellent facilities – 4 full sized

lawns and a club pavilion – some of the best in the

area. Membership continues to grow – Croquet is

becoming more popular.

The Club also has social side including quizzes and

club lunches, not forgetting club competitions to

suit all skill levels

So, now we are into a new year, why not think of

experiencing croquet for yourself. Croquet is a

sport for everyone – all ages, women play on equal

terms to men, all skill levels, all abilities – it’s

gentle exercise and is good for your health and

well being

Think Croquet, think Friends, Fun, Health, Sport,

Strategy and, most important of all, enjoyment

“We look forward to welcoming everyone to our

beginners’ course starting on 15th March from 2 to

5pm. During the 5 Sunday afternoons, our

accredited coaches will introduce you to the

essential skills and you’ll soon be playing this
