iii. Cllr Osborne asked why other groups were included in the APM. The Clerk explained that the guidance for APM’s suggest that other groups should be invited to report too as it is not a Parish Council meeting – it is a meeting for the electors. Cllr Osborne felt that next year the PC should share the reason why other groups are included with the audience.
iv. Cllr Osborne also commented that the attendance of the Member of Parliament (Anthony Mangnall) added value and that having a timekeeper for speakers as well as more guidance for them would be helpful next year.

There was further discussion about the alternative inland routes and the forthcoming discussion with Highways at the June PC meeting.

i. Standing Orders – unchanged since previous approval by PC. It was proposed by Cllr Lange, seconded by Cllr Osborne and resolved unanimously to approve the Standing Orders.
ii. Financial Regulations – new May 2024 – see document (10a ii). Cllr Osborne and Cllr Abbey asked for clarification on some points in the updated Financial Regulations and were satisfied with the Clerk’s explanations. It was proposed by Cllr Abbey, seconded by Cllr Osborne and resolved unanimously to approve the Financial Regulations.
iii. Risk Register – unchanged since previous approval by PC. It was proposed by Cllr Abbey, seconded by Cllr Staines and resolved unanimously to approve the Financial Risk Register.
iv. Business Continuity Plan – unchanged since previous approval by PC. It was proposed by Cllr Lange, seconded by Cllr Mitchelmore and resolved unanimously to approve the Business Continuity Plan.

It was proposed by Cllr Abbey, seconded by Cllr Osborne and unanimously resolved to remove as the beach monument relocation was no longer being considered.

27:24 CLERK’S REPORT

a. Verbal update from Clerk on any matters arising since the April PC meeting – also see written report.
i. Insurance: Year 2 of 3 renewal of 3 year Long Term Agreement is due. Year 2 is the same cost as Year 1 (previous year) but the value of Part C Assets has been updated from £40,956 to £44,955.99. Clerk to sign and return renewal.
ii. ILCA course: The ILCA course is the precursor to the CILCA course and costs £120 + VAT. It has already been budgeted for and monies c/f from last year’s training budget. The Clerk explained that once the ILCA and CILCA courses have been completed, the PC will have the general power of competence (an update about this will be sent to Cllrs separately). Clerk to begin course.
iii. Training courses: Cllrs are reminded to complete training already booked. Cllrs to complete before end of September.
iv. Equipment for Road Warden: Permission sought to purchase a Devon Shovel (bulldog 2309 west country shovel) ~ £30.00 and waste bags 272 l x 3 ~£20.00. Clerk to purchase.
v. Highways: Summaries of issues (drain at Townsend Cross, road between Deer Bridge and Start and road between Newton and Thorn Cross) shared with Neighbourhood Highways Officer, who has recommended reporting each drain, pothole, missing stretch of road and obstruction separately on the ‘report it’ site. This will entail over 100 separate reports. Clerk to revisit Start and Newton and action.
vi. Lisa Edmonds (Neighbourhood Highway Officer) will attend June meeting.
vii. PROW: The PC has not received a grant yet. Monies c/f from previous years dating back to financial years 21-22, 22-23 and 23-24 of £356.13 are now all in one ‘pot’ and ringfenced. The PC is likely to receive an additional ~£150 for routine maintenance (e.g. hand clearing/strimming) and the Clerk has requested a further £293.87 to complete specific tasks. If awarded, the total budget will be £800.00. DCC will cut FP3 and 5. They have also agreed that to add unmetalled roads 302, 305 and 301 to their schedule. This means, that for financial year 24-25, the PC is responsible for FP1, 2, 10, 11 and the bridleway. The PC will need to take back responsibility for the unmetalled roads next year as this had been agreed historically as part of the P3 Scheme. However, it had not been budgeted for or scheduled for completion during 23-24 by previous Clerk and hence the unmetalled roads were not budgeted for this year either as the current Clerk was unaware of this responsibility. FP2 needs strimming now. Clerk to arrange time for herself, Cllr Lange and Cllr Luscombe to do.
viii. Hearse parked by children’s play park at Greenbanks: Reported by 2 x parishioners. See Chair’s report below for further explanation.
ix. Car scratched/keyed in Park and Walk: Reported by 3 x parishioners. Victim advised to report to the police.
x. Hedge cutting on Sands Road: Concerns reported by 4 x parishioners. Questions raised are as follows: Why wasn’t the hedge and the trees cut before nesting season? Why have the hedges been cut and not just the trees that are at risk of falling into road? Why were the trees not coppiced and cut halfway down the trunk instead? Why haven’t the trees that overhang the fallen part of the bank been dealt with but other trees and hedges that are not at risk of falling into the road have been cut unnecessarily?
xi. Hedge cutting opposite shop: Reported by 2 x parishioners. Both asked: Why has the hedge been cut during nesting season – is this illegal?
xii. Sewage in wet woodland on NNR: Concerns about this reported by 2 x parishioners.
xiii. SW Water visit on Friday 7th June at 11.30 am with Anthony Mangnall. 3 Cllrs to attend – need size for PPE e.g. S/M/L/XL and shoe size please. SW Water, Anthony Mangnall and Cllrs will be joined by 3 parishioners at the Village Hall after their site visit. Cllr Abbey, Cllr Mitchelmore and Cllr Staines have agreed to attend and Clerk to make arrangements.
xiv. CSG Community Cinema: Equipment is no longer available to hire as it is no longer stored locally. However, the Community Cinema has the option of storing it on behalf of Cinema for All. In return, they would receive 5 free screenings a year. Would it be possible to ask the VH committee if we can store the equipment in the Village Hall roof permanently? One other group use the equipment currently, which is booked centrally, and this group will need to be able to collect and drop off the equipment every month or so. The Clerk will need to monitor bookings and the Carters have offered to help with collections and drop offs. Cllr Abbey has agreed to liaise with the VH committee.

28:24 CHAIR’S REPORT

a. Verbal update from the Chair on any matters arising since the April PC meeting.
i. Storage of hearse: The PC has received complaints about the storage of a hearse outside the children’s playground at Greenbanks, with a coffin and flowers inside (apparently the coffin is empty), which has now been covered. There was a discussion about the distress this is causing some residents and where else the hearse could be stored. Cllr Mitchelmore has agreed to liaise with local farmers to explore alternative storage arrangements.
ii. Parochial Church Council (PCC): Cllr Abbey explained that this year, the PCC will not be holding the Church Fayre at the Field Studies Centre as they are fully booked on the proposed dates. Instead they will be holding a ‘village Fayre’ with various events around the village instead of in one location. The Clerk has already agreed to update the children’s village trail. Cllr Abbey asked if any Cllrs would be willing to help. Cllr Staines has agreed to help the PCC and be a PC representative on the day. Cllr Staines to liaise with PCC.
iii. South Hams Community Action – loneliness and isolation report: Cllr Abbey encouraged all Cllrs to read the report. She explained that the survey had been commissioned across South Hams and that 18 residents from Slapton had participated. She is maintaining links with South Hams Community Action as they are interested in supporting rural communities. Cllr Osborne added how important the report is and how it lends wait to the importance of the PC’s community Support Group. Clerk to share report with CSG Committee Members.
iv. Road condition at Newton: A parishioner living at Newton has enquired what the status is of any repairs to this road. See Clerk’s report 27:24 a v above.
v. CSG flyers: Cllr Abbey asked whether the PC would authorise spend on printing of the flyers. Cllr Lange asked for clarification on the budget available for printing. The Clerk confirmed it would cost ~ £100 and that the PC has budgeted for 3 x Parish wide leaflet drops for the PC/CSG this financial year. Clerk to action.
vi. Coopting of new Cllr: Cllr Abbey confirmed that she and Cllr Osborne would meet with Giles Sutton on Friday 17th May to discuss the role of Cllr with him, together with his experience and interests. Cllr Abbey, Cllr Osborne and Clerk to attend meeting.

29:24 COUNCILLOR UPDATES

a. OPCC advocate update: Cllr Osborne explained that Alison Hernandez has been returned as Police and Crime Commissioner for Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly for a third term.

30:24 REVIEW OF ACTION LOG

Cllr Osborne queried payments 29 and 30 and the Clerk explained what they were for. Cllr Osborne also raised concerns about the bin being full at the entrance to the Church. Cllr Mitchelmore and the Clerk explained reason for this and the Clerk advised that any Cllr or resident can report a full bin via the SHDC website.

Cllr Mitchelmore explained that the owner of the pipe could not be determined, but it is known to be the responsibility of the property(ies) that it serves and not SW Water. It was agreed that this should be added to the June agenda for further discussion and resolution of next steps. Clerk to action.

Next Parish Council meeting will be held on
Monday 3rd June at 7.00 pm at Slapton Village Main Hall.
