This meeting is open to the public.

Agenda Items:

  1. Apologies
  2. Declaration of Interests
  3. Recently the Council has become aware of plans to close the B4100 Warwick Road for a period of 8 weeks from 10 August to 6 October, to facilitate the building of a new sewer.  The closure will be in the vicinity of Dukes Meadow, and will mean that traffic from Horley into Banbury will be required to find an alternative route.  The Parish Council has not been consulted on these proposals, and has had no opportunity to comment.Oxfordshire County Council has been invited to provide an officer to attend the meeting to provide further details, to explain the reasons for the road closure, and the measures which will be put in place to minimise the impact on Horley.

8)  Matters Arising
9)  Audit
a. To approve the Annual Accounting and Annual Governance Statements for 2014/2015, prior to their submission for both internal and external audit.  Copies of the proposed Statements are attached at annex 1 to this report.  Under the new Transparency Code the Council is required to publish copies of these Statements on the website, and in addition, details of expenditure and a bank reconciliation.  The document prepared for this purpose is attached at Annex 2 to this report. b. To approve a risk assessment and an asset register which have been prepared for audit purposes, and copies of which are attached at annex 3 to this report.
10)  Planning 
To consider and agree the Council’s response to application number 15/00673/OUT at Horley Mill Garage, Wroxton Lane, Horley.  A copy of the application will be presented at the meeting. Members wishing to inspect the application in advance of the meeting may do so, either by contacting the Clerk, or online at www.publicaccess.cherwell.gov.uk/onlineapplications .
11)  Speedwatch Exercise
As previously discussed, a speedwatch exercise was carried out on 24 April 2015 between approximately 8.00am and 9.00am. The equipment was provided by the Police Community Support Officer, PCSO Bailey, who was assisted by Cllr Hamer and the Clerk.  Not all the equipment provided by the Police functioned correctly, but a radar device was available which allowed the speed of vehicles to be checked.  The check was carried out in Hornton Lane in the vicinity of the Church Lane junction, and 40 to 50 vehicles passed while the exercise was taking place.  Only one was recorded as speeding (35 mph) although several others were observed to slow down when they saw the check taking place and before it was possible to record their speed.  As this was not an official speed trap, the motorist recorded as speeding will receive a warning letter only from the Police Authority.
12)  Kerbing works in Wroxton Lane 
Members will be aware that the Council has placed an order with Titchmarsh Construction to undertake some kerbing works in Wroxton Lane.  Very recently Titchmarsh Construction have contacted the Council advising that they have been unable to obtain authority from Oxfordshire County Council to carry out the proposed works on the highway.  It appears that OCC have indicated that they consider the work should be carried out by their term contractor who previously had provided a somewhat higher quotation for the work.  It is not clear what has caused this apparent change of heart by OCC, as they recommended the Council to contact Titchmarsh Construction some time ago.  The Clerk is pursuing the matter with OCC and will update Members at the meeting.
13)  Date of next meeting
To be agreed at item 6 above.
14)  Any other urgent business
