Parish Council News
Law and Order
Young people behaviour. The
majority of our young people continue to be a great credit to
themselves and their parents. Unfortunately, a small
minority are causing problems in respect of wanton damage,
vandalism, graffiti, under age drinking etc. It is stressed
that it is a small minority. Unfortunately some parents
when approached refuse to accept any responsibility for the actions
of their offspring.
In recent weeks the Community Safety Wardens and
the South Yorkshire Police have taken action against some groups and
individuals. A number of ASBO's have been issued.
The Parish Council have been advised that a zero tolerance policy
towards anti-social behavious is to be implemented.
General
Crime
It is appreciated that the problem remains of
being able to make quick contact with the Police and this results in
many residents giving up when trying to make complaints or report
incidents. Our Safety Wardens
Karan and Mark and Community Constable PC Nicky Fulton are keen
to be informed of problems. Obviously some problems
require a direct contact to South Yorkshire Police, but if less
urgent contact:
- Safety Wardens - 01302 884132
- PC Fulton - 01302 386118 (Armthorpe
Police Station)
Planning
In view of the dissatisfaction expressed by many
residents and Parish Council members
alike at recent planning decisions in the village the Council
requested a meeting with the Head of the DMBC Planning Department at
which the fact that it appeared that the opinions of Council Members
and residents alike were ignored during the planning process.
Village
Maintenance
The Parish Council have requested that the
Community First Team provide schedule for the undertaking of
environmental maintenance in the Village, including the strimming of
Hungerhill Lane and the Mere Lane bridal path, hedge trimming and
the removal of litter. A litter bin has now been
obtained for the village green area.
Rubbish Skip
General garden rubbish, household items etc at
the Cedric Road Community Centre - Saturday June 25th 9.00am to
2.30pm.
Make it a worthwhile exercise and fill the skip,
and another if possible.
Allotments
Currently there are no vacant plots, but
if you wish to put your name on a waiting list please contact
John Howard (01302 882592)
Bonfires
The Council have received a few complaints
about bonfires. Residents are asked to consider
neighbours in nearby homes when burning - ash, smells, smoke -
especially when windows are open and people are spending more
time outside in their gardens. A little
consideration could prevent annoyance and inconvenience.
Job Vacancy
The interior girderwork requires
painting. The Committee would like to hear
from anyone who would consider undertaking the job on a paid
basis, could be done on odd days or all at once.
Involves some ladderwork - Contact John Howard 01302 882592.
Jeff Louth
On behalf of many of the older
residents a note of appreciation is made of Jeff who
recently passed away. He did much for many
individual organisations and groups over the last 50 years,
especially in later years for the Community Centre.
Truly one of the real helpers of the village. He
will be remembered by many for his help and kindness.
