Minutes of Huttons Ambo Parish History Group - Thursday 28th June 2018.

Minutes of Huttons Ambo Parish History Group meeting held on Thursday  28^th June 2018.

Present at meeting

Philip Barraclough (PB), Rona Charles(RC), Sam Milsom(SM), Diane Savage (DS),  Susan Millward(SuM) Joyce Parker (JP), Ann Sanders (AS) and Alan Sanders (ALS)

1. Apologies for Absence

Andy Doorman (AD) Michael Sessions(MS), Denise Doggett (DD) and Philip Stone (PS)

2. Actions from last meeting

PS stated that he had scanned very few of the documents relating to the history of the village.

MS has made available a list of the plant species on his land which were recorded in April 2017.

AD had not yet had the opportunity to approach the Huttons Ambo estate.

DD had not yet  had the opportunity to investigate possible sources of funding.

3.  Discussion

PB started the meeting by showing the group the Village Book compiled over a number of years by the Women’s Institute.

JP explained the background to the book and stated that it was never intended to be a history of the village. The meeting however recognised the importance of the book as a record. JP stated that the book should have gone into the WI records but that at the time the WI in Huttons Ambo finished the book was allowed to be kept in the village. JP had become the custodian and had made of photocopy for security.

RC showed the group an example of a hand written Minutes Book from the Parish Council which date from the end of the 19^th Century.

PB stated that there was a vast amount of material in many different locations and that this needed to be safeguarded for the future.

PB asked the group what they thought the outcome of the Project should be. Was it just  to safeguard the existing records, physically and digitally and make them more accessible or whether it should be taken a stage further and a more formal history of the village be compiled, covering all the areas detailed in the May meeting.

The group was strongly of the opinion that both the preservation of the records and the compilation of a “Village History” were necessary. As a first step all the records should be scanned.

The necessity of finding funding for this work was made clear.

AS stated that it would be an important first step to invest in secure storage for documents, either originals or copies to be housed in the Village Hall.

PB stated that an Exhibition of Photographs illustrating the History of the village should be staged. It was hoped that this would be of interest to the whole village and could generate further documents, records etc. and get more of the village involved in the project. A date in mid-September was suggested.

It was agreed that exhibition should be publicised at the Village Show and a flyer distributed, asking for photographs or any other material with a visual appeal.

This would be the main item for the next meeting which would take place shortly before the Village Show.

PB asked if any of the group knew the Monkman family as he had been told one of the family had written a history of the village some years ago. AS said she might be able to get in contact with them

DS and JP raised the issue of oral history and the importance of this “before it is too late”

4. Action points.

Funding streams (PB/DD)

Contact The Huttons Ambo Estate (AD)

Secure document storage (AS)

Borthwick Institute re Church Records (ALS)

Contact Monkman family (AS)

5. Date of Next Meeting

The next meeting is on Thursday 26th July 2018, in the Village Hall at 7pm.

MINUTES OF ANNUAL PARISH MEETING

HUTTONS AMBO PARISH

DRAFT MINUTES OF THE ANNUAL PARISH MEETING

22 MAY 2018

1.       Welcome     

         Andy Dorman (Acting Chairman) welcomed Councillors David Banks, Richard  Kershaw & Simon Lealman, Jem Charles (Clerk) and five members of the public.

          

2.       Chairman’s report:

a)    Mobile Post Office van: Protracted correspondence and dialogue with numerous agencies involved in supporting the service has helped bring about an upgrade in the equipment carried.  The service now appears more reliable.

b)    Community Emergency Plan: A plan setting out essential details has been drawn up and will be published on the village website soon.

c)     Freedom of Information: Data held by the Parish has been reviewed and is compliant with the new GDPR.  A model publication scheme providing guidance on how information will be made public when required.  This will be available on the village website soon.

d)    A64 junctions: Road maintenance at both Barneygate Lane End and Low Lane End continues to be in dispute between Highways England and NYCC.  The PC has been involved with trying to achieve reconciliation.  County Councillor Claire Goodrick has been assisting and some progress is being made.  Cllr. Goodrick has offered to fund re-engineering of the gulley at Barneygate Lane End from her own limited budget.

e)    War Memorial: The PC consulted a monumental mason about cleaning.  Following his advice Andy has cleaned it by gentle scrubbing and asked for feedback.

f)      Malton & Norton Neighbourhood Plan: The PC has tried on numerous occasions to co-operate on preparation of this new plan but the steering group has repeatedly failed to communicate.  The plan will therefore not include most of the York Road Industrial and Enterprise Parks as it lies within HA Parish.

g)    Kirkham Weir & Sluice: Rona had continued to liaise with the Environment Agency on behalf of the PC.  No final decision has been reached but the probable course of action will be the construction of an improved fish pass coupled with some lowering of the weir.

h)    Village green and other grassed areas: Mark Wilson has again provided a reliable and reasonable grass cutting service

i)       Verge cutting: The PC had requested that the bank and footpath edges along the raised section near the Village Hall be included in the revised NYCC cutting regime.  The new contractor engaged by NYCC this year is providing a better service.

j)      Potholes: The deteriorating state of the roads continues to be an issue.  A reasonable working relationship with NYCC has been established and they have responded as well as their resources permit.

k)    Road-sweeping: The PC had engaged a road-sweeping contractor with Richard Wainwright’s help.

l)      Planning applications:  The PC had published all applications on the village website and commented to Ryedale DC.  It continues to be disappointing that the Authority appears to pay little regard to local views.

m)  Ineos proposed seismic survey: A community wide consultation had been carried out to discover the general view.  The responses had been analysed and will be published on the village website.

3.       Finance

The Council’s expenditure was £2246 and income £3479 resulting in a balance carried forward of £5849.  Budgeted income of £2800 was boosted by a grant for IT equipment (£659) and a generous donation (£20).

Expenditure was less than budgeted primarily due to fewer grass cuts being necessary, and at a more modest cost (£320), no call on the contingency fund (£300) and some village maintenance being delayed (£222) or unidentified (£100).  There were also modest underspends on sundries and expenses. 

4.       Seismic survey consultation

Jem presented the analysis of the results of the consultation which was followed by general discussion.  (119 requests for views had been delivered, 45 responses received of which 40 were against the survey being undertaken.)  Full results will be published on the village website.

5.       Any other business

a)    There were no other matters raised by the community represented.

b)    David expressed the gratitude of the Council to the 2 Councillors who had resigned during the year; Jessie Garnett and Richard Green

Signed:……………………………….(Chairman, 2016/17)   Dated:………………….
