Potential outline aims & objectives for
discussion with the village – on Agenda
·
Community engagement plan and agreeing an
outline timetable with the Council
Declaration of interests:
TH had spoken with Democratic Services to clarify
requirements. As not a formal Parish
Council meeting no legal requirement, but expected as a matter of good
practice, particularly given the potential for financial gains through
development decisions. For transparency
the group must be made aware of any ‘interest’ (using the reasonable bystander
test) – ie if there is a matter on the agenda that could affect the wellbeing
and/or financial interest of anyone, a member of their family, or someone they
have a close business/social/other contact with.
News, gossip and updates!
·
Everyone to see if they are coming to the NP

·
Discussion of survey sent by the MPs for the
Upper and Lower Lune Valley. Noted that
housing numbers currently an issue with high political profile. TH due to go to LALC meeting to determine
what action they are proposing to take (in line with the minutes of their last
meeting). Will report back. Action TH
·

phase form for potential Direct Support – promised for tomorrow (system
issues). Will complete as a matter of
urgency as input on boundary delineation critical. Action TH

Note:e-mail circulated by TH informing group of

As previously agreed, TH had attended the Wray
Scarecrow Committee meeting on the 12.09.14 and flagged up NP requirements,
overlaps of interest, and asked about potential one-off funding
opportunities. Positive expressions of
support for helping the NP. Any funding

Communication
(Engagement & Media Plan)
·

Wrayly Mail. To visit school to talk

CH has set up the group website as a blog-spot,
after consideration of the options, and has posted initial content. To arrange for site to be linked by Chris
Conder as agreed (ie Wray Neighbourhood Plan Group to be added to the list of
groups on the left-hand side on the village website). CH to send the link to the site to the group

COMMUNITY
SURVEY FORMAT
·
Action moved back to next meeting to ensure all
NPT members have looked at examples and can give their views on preferred
options. TH to send copies of examples
she has saved and other potential NP groups and their plans/methodological approaches
to date. Action TH
·
General discussion of requirements and
constraints – including the need for reassurance on anonymity, and the need to
avoid overly long surveys, both of which it was agreed would reduce response
rate (based on past experience). Need to
use identification questions, then come back to smaller group in more detail as
needed – eg to identify people running/planning to run a local business, then
arrange more discussion/options for them specifically rather than including a
lot of business questions in the base questionnaire. Data protection may be an issue – TH to seek
Council input when meeting about surveys is held with them w/c 6th
October 2014 (exact date tbc). To report
back on any views/requirements Council may have. Action TH
·
Will need to be a general consultation on the NP
boundary. Since going out to the
community decided that it would be a useful opportunity to touch base before
drafting aims and objectives on potential community concerns (using analysis of
previous surveys as a starting point); and to check that the group has
identified all local groups and mechanisms for consultation. TH to draft copy for group consideration and
to circulate by e-mail for views. Action TH
·
General discussion of logistics – JS to sort
printing once agreed, BS to arrange village delivery, and CH postal delivery to
outlying homes (BS has addresses from electoral role).
Any other business: none.
Date of the next meeting: Thursday 9th
October 2014, at 7.00 pm, Village Institute.
