Nine councillors were present at the October meeting of

were the following
MATTERS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES
The gate at Carew Newton Cemetery has now been replaced.
A letter of thanks was to be sent.
The collapsed drain at Paskeston Lane had now been repaired.
Speed survey lines had been placed on the Villa Hill.
The 30 mph sign by the bus shelter near Whitehill had been
secured and the playground sign in Carew had been turned to
face the correct way.
Problems with dog fouling persist: The dog warden and
Environmental Health were to be informed. Parishioners with
complaints about dog fouling should contact PCC on the main
number, 01437 774551, so that the calls can be logged and the
matter given priority attention.
The problem with weeds growing under the Old Bridge at
Milton and clogging the river was being pursued.
Work on Teague’s Cross bus shelter was nearly complete.
Boundary Commission report: Following perusal of the document over the last month by councillors, there were no adverse
comments.
Carew Newton cemetery fees: This matter was to be discussed
at the November meeting along with further documents that had
been produced.
PLANNING
The following application had been granted by PCNPA - provision of single storey extensions, side extension and rear living room extension at Waters Edge, Whitehill.
The following planning applications were received:
Erection of a rural enterprise dwelling - land north of
Poyerston Lodge, Cosheston. Following detailed discussion and
perusal of the plans and accompanying documents, there were
no adverse comments nor obvious grounds for refusal identified.
Installation of four roof lights in garage at Kingston,
Pincheston Farm, Sageston. Following detailed discussion and
perusal of the plans, councillors queried why so many roof
lights were needed in the garage/workshop.
Correspondence from architects regarding Old School Hall at
Redberth was read out. No action was necessary at this time.
CORRESPONDENCE
Communication was received regarding rubbish bins not
being emptied on Birds Lane and also the street lights at
Kesteven Court being turned off at night.
County Clr. Neale agreed to look into the problem with the
bins.
With regard to street lighting, notification from PCC was
received at the beginning of last year stating that street lights
would not be lit after 12 midnight and further measures throughout the parish and county would be implemented in due course.
The dual purpose bin at Carew Castle Picnic Site had now
been moved to the entrance of the picnic site to enable PCC to
empty the bin on a regular basis.
Notices concerning fortnightly bin collections were given to
councillors for notice boards. Questions and answers information was to be put on the website.
PARISH MATTERS
The Jubilee bench on the Castle Walk required repair.
The ‘Slow Children Playing’ sign for Carew Park Estate had
still not been provided.
The highways department were to be congratulated on the
road resurfacing at Carew Newton.
A report was received of a large piece of road missing at Pick
Road which was hazardous to vehicles, cycles and pedestrians.
County Clr. David Neale agreed to investgate this.
The work on the Castle Car Park and War Memorial was progressing well and the raised borders had been removed.
A report was received on problems with lorries coming out
onto the road leading to the Control Tower. There were also
reports of two near misses. Of further concern was tour buses
with visitors to the Control Tower, which visit on a regular
basis. County Clr. Dave Neale agreed to look into having the
hedge trimmed back along this road.
The next meeting of the council will be on Thursday,
November 14, at 7.30 pm.
Don’t let flu
stop you caring
Did you know that as a carer, you may be eligible to receive
the flu vaccination?
The flu vaccine is available for free if you are aged 65 or over;
considered to be in a clinical ‘at risk’ group by your GP or are
living in a long-stay care facility (i.e. a residential care home)
where seasonal flu could spread easily and put lives at risk.
However, if you are concerned about the welfare of the person
you care for if they, or you were to get the flu, you may also be
entitled to receive the vaccine free of charge.
As the main carer for an elderly or disabled person or as someone who receives Carer’s Allowance, by explaining your concerns to a doctor they can make an informed decision about
your situation.
Contact your GP for more details on receiving the flu jab.
There are also some community pharmacies offering the flu jab,
ask your local pharmacist for details.
