Landfill site. He also reported that his enquiries concerning the recent and
minor criminal damage to the Venn Cross bus shelters was progressing well and
that he hoped to report further to Council at the next meeting. (Noted)
(b) Traffic Issues ((i) Boathouse Loading bay & (ii) new road layout at
junction Marine Parade/Anstey Way) – (i) Constable Johnson said he had spoken
to John Beardsley (DCC Highways) about the Boathouse Loading Bay (as a
consequence of 2311/9 (w)) and that he would come back to IPC in due course
with recommendations. (ii) He said he had also spoken to DCC Highways about
the new junction layout at Anstey Way/Marine Parade with particular regard to
its approach from the Bideford direction; he had been reassured it would be
appropriately sign posted and “narrowed” so as to reduce speed. (Noted)
2312/4 PARISHIONERS
(a) Wheelie Bins – Instow: - A parishioner expressed concern about the
“impending” provision of wheelie bins by NDDC and outlined her anxiety as to
how they might be stored and moved especially by the elderly. She cited
problems that had been experienced by friends at Braunton. Cllr Cann said NDDC
did have plans to extend this initiative to Instow in due course but that he
was prepared to listen to any parishioner(s) who anticipated/experienced
problems and then do all he could to overcome them. After discussion it was
RESOLVED that the Clerk should write to Braunton Parish Council and ascertain
what problems had been experienced in their area. (Action: The Clerk)
(b) Instow Welfare Trust: - A parishioner expressed her concern at the manner
in which the Trustees of The Instow Welfare Trust had arbitrarily resolved to
close said trust fund and transfer its assets to The Devon Community
Foundation. She added it had been discourteous of them not to open up a
dialogue with the parishioners of Instow and that there were concerns that
potential beneficiaries might lose out. The Clerk reminded the parishioner
that he had kept her continuously appraised since IPC had been advised, on
learned advice from its Independent Auditor, it was incorrect to give the
annual interest on said account to the Instow Parish Hall Committee (since
confirmed in written guidance from The Charities Commissioners). He added he
had also advised the parishioner she could directly approach the Trustees of
the Welfare Trust when they were re-constituted in August 2003. The Clerk
finalised by saying the Trustees had placed statutory notices throughout the
village and that “concerned” parishioners should follow the guidance thereon
and if necessary correspond with the Charities Commissioners. (Noted)
2312/5 REPORT COUNTY COUNCILLOR R CANN
(a) General Report: - Cllr Cann spoke of the new junction layout at Anstey
Way/Marine Drive (he said this “pedestrian crossing” scheme had generally been
welcomed), Community Alliance (Lovacott, Newton Tracey and Westleigh Parish
Councils have agreed to form a rural village’s alliance), Sand on Seafront (he
had made a site visit with Joe Deasy (DCC) to discuss the problems and that
more attention would be paid in the future to clearing sand, particularly from
the footway), Westleigh Junction A39 (the new signs, to encourage continuous
flows of traffic on and off the A39, were in place), Unofficial use of The
Tarka Trail – Vicinity of entrance to Tapeley Park (DCC to fence off these
openings on public safety grounds), and Power Station Proposed Footpath (land
has been dedicated for a footpath from the main road down to the Tarka Trail
along the length of the existing road to the former Power Station – DCC
appeared unwilling to include the creation of this footpath in their future
programme) – After discussion IPC RESOLVED to write to DCC to express support
for such a footpath on the grounds it would link up with the Coastal footpath
that runs to/from Instow and that the current road, because of heavy traffic
and deposits thereon, made it unsafe for pedestrians. The Clerk was asked to
write to Joe Deasy (DCC) (Action: The Clerk)
(b) Power Station – Heavy Lorries Access/Egress: - Cllr Ms A Mayoh said she
had received complaints about the widespread use of this site by heavy lorries
all coming to and from the Instow direction. She said rubble was falling off
these vehicles onto the roadway and that mud was being left on the highway
thus making it unsafe for other motorists. Cllr Cann agreed it was illegal for
the exportation of waste, of whatever nature, from the Power Station site and
that if evidence (e.g. registration numbers, photos) of such exportation were
available he would like to be informed as soon as possible. He said he would
liaise with DCC in any event. (Noted)
