Matters arising

County Councillor's report   As appended to Annual Parish Meeting minutes.

District Councillor's report   As appended to Annual Parish Meeting minutes.

Police report  
PCSO Dawn Hunt said that the statistical crime year had finished in April. Crime over the Wheatley and Thame police area had dropped 18% overall - some categories had gone up and others down.
Sandford had logged 59 calls in the period 8 Nov to 7 May of which 15 were classed as miscellaneous, 8 'fear for welfare' eg not seeing elderly neighbours, 5 were theft from motor vehicles and 7 were road related.
According to police monitoring figures Sandford did have a problem with speeding vehicles through the village notwithstanding OCC reports, she would try to get some statistics sent to us. Her division was trying to get another SID camera and there was a possibility of some of the NAG parishes helping with funding - that is of an additional camera. K Welch would carry this forward at the next NAG meeting.
In July, Sandford was scheduled for the next round of NAG consultation. i.e. 70 voluntary questionnaires to be distributed and filled in.

Matters for consideration

	Joyce Markham was co-opted by unanimous consent to replace Nigel Northcott.
	Arrangements for implementing phase 2 of graveyard management: This would mean petitioning the Oxford Diocese to consecrate the remainder of the land purchased from Magdalen College in 1995. There would be a small fee of approximately £300. Agreed unanimously to petition the bishop and pay fees. Clerk would arrange forms.
	OCC proposed highway bollard positions: Malcolm Bowler (OCC Env. & Economy, Traffic Team) had prepared a scheme for traffic bollards. They would cost about £100 each and it was felt would probably be ineffective and should not be considered without further consultation. The parish council would meet outside the Village Hall at 7.00pm prior to next meeting to look at the problem.

Planning
P10/W0582:   46 Henley Road (Garage) Erect 12x12M steel building.
The parish council was not happy for this plan to receive permission because it was felt to constitute a continuation of the car sales business expansion which already caused an overpopulation of cars both in the garage forecourt and on the road at times.
It would be a large additional building in the Green Belt which would impinge on neighbouring properties and be visible from the fields to the south and west.
P10/W0494:   11 Buckler Place. Single storey front extension.   No strong views.
P10/W0495:   12 Buckler Place. Single storey front & rear extensions.   No strong views.

Matters raised  
The new bus stops were welcomed.
Clerk would try to get some quotes for planting and maintaining the installed planter boxes.
There were some fallen trees at Broadhurst Gardens. Clerk would see whether they were on Sandford land.
The Janaway play area was in need of attention, K Welch would forward contact details of Persimmon to clerk.
K Welch said there had been some interest shown in allotments. "The parish council must formally consider any written request by six or more electors to operate the Allotments Acts and in addition, if it is of the opinion that there is a demand it is bound to provide allotments. It would be difficult to be of any other opinion in the face of a resolution from a well attended electors' meeting." As long as the allotments are reasonably accessible it is not essential that they be within the parish.

Items for agenda of next meeting  
Elect Vice Chairperson.
Planter box management.

Date of next meeting   7th June 2010   7.00pm in Welch Room.


Meeting closed at 8.45pm
