Apologies

Village Hall Exhibition  

PB passed around  the proposed questionnaire  for the exhibition – which was agreed with a few amendments. 

A date in September 2018  had initially been proposed for the exhibition but the group concluded that the a date could only be set after seeing the results of the questionnaire . 
  
It was agreed that the questionnaire would be circulated as part of the August Village bulletin.  

Action – DB to follow up with the Hall Committee if this could be provided free with any income from teas and coffees donated to the Hall fund.  

Follow up of information held by the Starkey Estate  
Andy Dorman (AD) had made contact with Claire Jenyns , AD may also contact Nick Woodhead who is a Trustee of the estate.  
Action – AD  


Other Sources of information  

CH suggested contacting York University via Kate Giles who is a member of the Archaeology Department  and was until recently a resident of the village.   

Action – PB to follow up the contact with York University 

RC stated that historic maps are kept at County Hall and would be a valuable source of information. 

PT suggested checking with Malton Library to see what Local History records they hold. 

It was also suggested advertising the Exhibition and a request for information in the Malton Gazette and  on  Local  Radio. 


Sources of  Funding  

RC had been exploring possible funding options in particular to  facilitate the scanning, photographing and storage of records that may be made available.  
The Heritage Lottery fund was suggested as a possible source. 
It was identified that this would require a properly formed committee and bank account.  
Other options  suggested 

  • Howardian hills community support  
  • Ryedale Folk Museum – look at possibility of a joint project  

Action 1- DD to follow up with Hall Committee to see if application could be made via their existing structure.  
Action Completed – DD spoke to Richard  Green of the Hall Committee  who has confirmed that they would be able to convene the existing Hall Committee and use their structure for the purposes of grant applications.  

Action 2 – PB to contact Heritage Lottery for funding options  

Any Other Business  
  • PB is doing a one day course in taking oral history 
  • RC reported that Ann Sanders (AS)  had looked into the possibility of safe storage for the archive gathered . AS has established that in addition to the expense the actual weight of any storage cupboard would also be unsuitable due to its weight and therefore impractical. 
  • The group discussed how some people who had been gifted or had received village archives felt the weight of responsibility for the safe keeping of the information or objects. It was hoped that the group could share some of the responsibility 

Prioritising Objectives 
The group agreed to the following order of priority of objectives : 
  1. Identifying really valuable photographs and documents  
  1. Creating a general catalogue of items  
  1. Holding an Exhibition  

Time and date of Next Meeting – Thursday 6th September  at 7pm in Village Hall

Huttons Ambo Youth Club - Volunteers Needed!

Huttons Ambo Youth Club - Volunteers Needed!

Children from the village and surrounding area have enjoyed being part of the Huttons Ambo Youth Club for the past three years. 

The club is for all ages from 5 years to older teenagers - but if you wanted to bring slightly younger children and stay with them then you're more than welcome!

Previous committee members have now stepped down or have moved on and we would like to say a massive thank you to all those that helped to get the Youth Club established and who have helped in its running over the past three years.

In order for the club to continue we now need to establish a new Committe to oversee things.  Being on the committee doesn't have to be a huge commitment - there will probably be just 3 or 4 meetings a year.

Please, please, please - if you would like to see the Youth Club continue, could you consider volunteering to be on the Committee.

If you are interested, please contact Howard Wallis for more details.

(or you can email philip at huttonsambo dot com and I will pass your mail onto Howard)

PARISH COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JULY

HUTTONS AMBO PARISH COUNCIL

DRAFT MINUTES OF MEETING ON
24th JULY 2018


1.         Welcome, Councillors present & Apologies
David Banks (Chairman) had sent apologies so Andy Dorman agreed to act as chairman for this meeting.  He welcomed Cllrs. Richard Kershaw and Simon Lealman and Clerk, Jem Charles.  He also welcomed District Councillor Michael Cleary and one member of the public.

2.         Approval of Minutes
Minutes of the May meeting were approved and signed as being a true record.

3.         Matters Arising
a)   Co-option of new Councillor
b)  30 mph speed limit
There was no update from David and this item will be carried forward.
c)  NYCC Highways Parish Portal workshop
Jem reported that he had attended.  The portal provides a mechanism whereby the Council can report highways defects directly onto the database used by the engineers and monitor the response.  The Council welcomed the facility.
d)  Footpath railing
Most of the necessary repair had been completed promptly following a reminder from Jem.  The end post remains broken.  Andy and Simon undertook to replace it.

4.         New Matters
            a)   Giant hogweed at Crambeck
This has been treated again by the East Yorkshire Rivers Trust with assistance from Andy and Jem.  Funding for the work this year has yet to be clarified.
            b)   Public footpath monitoring
Rona Charles explained that she had attended a meeting of Ryedale Ramblers aimed at initiating a programme involving local volunteers monitoring public footpaths and bridleways.  She has heard from 12 parishioners who are willing to assist and has contacted neighbouring parishes where sections of PRoW are shared.  She will agree allocations with volunteers and continue to act as co-ordinator.

5.         Planning
a) New House at Musley Bank
Approved.  Michael Cleary explained (as Chairman of RDC planning committee) that he had not been in favour as he considered that the proposed development did not meet the criteria required for exception under Section 55.  The Committee, however, had taken a different view.
b) Detached outbuilding at 2 Club Cottage
Approved
c) Extension to Tofu unit at Malton Enterprise Park
Approved
d)  Water production plant at Malton Enterprise Park
Richard noted that the application included parking for distribution vehicles and wondered whether it was possible to append a question about traffic movements on the A64 to any response.  It was agreed that this should be the subject of a separate approach

6.         Finance
a)  Budget progress
The report to 30th June was considered to show that the position was satisfactory.

7.         Any Other Business
a)  Crown lifting/reduction to Copper beech opposite Herbie’s
Simon presented a quotation provided by a contractor engaged on private work locally who had learned that this had been discussed by the Council previously.  It was agreed that there was no need for such work at present.
b)  Potholes Low Lane End
The problem of neither of the highways authorities accepting responsibility for maintenance of A64 junctions was again discussed.  Michael Cleary will raise it with NYCC Councillor Caroline Goodrick.
c)  A64 verge cutting
Simon reported that the grass between the pavement and fence NW of Barneygate Lane End was obstructing sight of approaching traffic.  Jem will ask Mark to strim that stretch.

9.         Date of Next meetings
