The condition of the roundabout on the children’s play area in the village has deteriorated through age, to the stage where its continued use has been called into question. The Parish Council is actively seeking to have the roundabout repaired or replaced.

This evening, a member of the Parish Council and a volunteer attempted to remove the defective parts for repair, but they found that this was not going to be possible without the use of a mechanical lift.

The roundabout has been left in a safe state, albeit with the central pillar removed and tape applied around it to discourage usage, until this can be arranged later this week.

In the meantime, it would be very much appreciated if parents could ask their children not to use the roundabout until it has been fully repaired.

If anyone has any questions, please contact Matt Harrison.

Many thanks, on behalf of the Parish Council.

Well done to all the children who made boats; there was a super variety, made from paper, wood and junk material. Thank you especially to Revd Andy Larkin for bravely standing in the sheep wash launching, managing and retrieving the flotilla and also to Thayer L for helping to launch some of the vessels.

Thank you to those that turned out for the Stream & Pond clearing, Pat & John Barnett, the Peat family, Ben Ingham, Alan Purvis, Ben Bennett, Paul O’Connell, Owen Bradbury & Councillors Robert Bunting, Caroline Healy, Jane Bennett & Matt Harrison.

We have worked in conjunction with the appropriate Agencies and followed their advice. The main purpose was to remove old debris and not current summer growth. There were several particularly bad choke points, which are now freed, this will now allow any significant amounts of water to flow down the stream course and out of the village.

Since the autumn the Parish Council has been re-examining the role of volunteers who carry out community work for them. This was reinforced at Wednesday night’s monthly Council meeting during the public speaking time when villagers made it clear that they would like to see volunteers taking a more active role within areas covered by the Parish Council.

Now for all the legal bit! As a public body the Parish Council has to ensure that the highest levels of safety are maintained at all times. We have a legal and mandatory duty of care to ensure that all volunteers are competent to carry out the work, which must be undertaken in a safe environment. The correct personal protective clothing and equipment must be used according to the task undertaken. A risk assessment has to be carried out, kept and communicated to volunteers to ensure that they work within the guidelines set out. The Parish Council has to be satisfied that volunteers possess adequate experience and depending on the type of work, relevant training or qualifications may be considered necessary. These are all legal requirements set out by our insurance company as well as by national bodies. Fortunately much of it is just common-sense to protect both volunteers and the Parish Council, identifying sensible and proportionate measures to control the risks.

So in plain English, as long as the tasks are appropriate and we all carry out the necessary legal requirements, volunteers are welcomed and we look forward to working together.

Parwich Parish Council Precept

It is with regret that the Parish Council is having to raise the precept. We are also very sorry that this information was not conveyed to those affected, before the increase was shown on the Council Tax bills.

Below is an outline of the responsibilities of the Parish Council which I hope illustrates the rationale for the increase and demonstrates that we are using the income we receive, to good effect.

What is the precept?

Parish Councils can raise revenue to help meet their spending requirements by issuing a “Precept”. This represents the total amount to be raised through Council Tax from all of the dwellings within the parish. The Precept is converted into an amount per council tax band and is added on to an individual Council Tax bill

In Parwich the Council Tax for 2012/13 includes a Parish Council Precept which impacts on individual Council Tax bills ranging from £19.53 per year for band A dwellings and up to £58.58 for the highest valued band H dwellings.

For mid-range band D valued dwellings in Parwich, the sum included within the Council tax bill after the 2012/13 increase, is £29.29 per dwelling per year.

This means that there has been an increase on last year’s cost per household, per year of £6.17 for Band A and £18.50 for Band H.

The annual increase for Band D being £9.25, an increase of less than 18p per week per household.

Parish Precept

On behalf of the Parish Council I would like to respond that it was of great regret to us all on the Parish Council that such a precept rise was considered to be necessary, a decision that we felt we had to make in light of our likely income and expenditure for the coming year. We would be very happy to provide a full explanation for the basis of our decision at our next Parish Council meeting on 21st March at 7.30 where anyone who is interested is very welcome to attend.
