Central Youth Facility DC - Letters have gone out to all youth organisations in the area including West Sussex CC to invite them to a meeting to gain their points of view. Next steps: - when sufficient interest has been received a meeting will be held.
Numbers have dropped by 25% due mainly to illness. AB is putting a piece in Parish Magazine to advertise. Sandy is to attend a 10 week 'Armchair Exercise Leadership Course' which the ladies miss, These ceased due the previous qualified volunteer (Brenda) retiring from the Lunch Club.
Nothing
to report 46.6.2. Sustainable Hub: KJ - 2 meetings have been held so far all is proceeding well. 350 individuals have been spoken to of which 1/3rd were residents, and 2/3rd were non residents; of these 94% said they visited Billingshurst regularly. Final report will be presented at a meeting in Village Hall on 10th June. The time of this meeting has not been published as yet. A draft of the presentation will be available to BCP by the end of May. 46.6.3. Economy and Environment: Chamber of Commerce: KJ - This is running fairly successfully due to the efforts of Sandy and John Griffin. We have managed to get the membership involved in issues in their own right, e.g. Car Parking. A 1 day workshop is being held on 16th September in the Village Hall 'How to run a retail outlet' which is fully funded. And a further workshop in the evening 'Want to run a more successful retail outlet'. Parking - HDC forum to discuss, this will include PC, BCP and COC. A paper has been presented as a 'fait-accompli'. HDC want a quick discussion. This was also discussed at PC meeting held last night (7th May). COC to discuss the paper at their next meeting on Tuesday next. (12th May). One suggestion is for the remainder of the spaces in the Library to be free for locals with a disc with a maximum parking time of 2 hours. (See attached paper with these minutes) Link here >> KJ asked the meeting if BCP have any problems with the paper, or can we agree. A letter to the HDC will be required. KJ indicated that whatever we do will be a short-term solution. We need to be pro-active and do “something” rather than nothing. KJ proposed we accept in principle and work with HDC, AB seconded. A vote was taken where 6 members agreed and 1 member abstained (KB) as he is not a driver. AB added – we should as a community be trying to work with the de-Savary family. 46.7.4. Tourism: Bus Map - KB advised the proposal is to produce a map is proceeding. 46.6.5. Arts & Culture: DC - New Harmonie are performing in the Village Hall on Sunday 18th May at 3pm. DC is to put a piece in the Parish Newsletter about recruitment of volunteers for Arts and Culture for the BCP. 46.6.6. C4C: JG - All is plodding along at present.
Nothing to report 46.7 Members of and reports from other organisations or affiliations: - BAIT Station Road LAT – PCSO – splitting up not getting cover they should be getting. We are in the middle of the exam season etc. There are problems with parking; cars block drive-ways for days. There are further problems with rubbish from Tesco’s, Fish and Chips etc. leading to rats. Talk to BAIT about getting more litter bins. 46.8 Action Plan and Parish Council Meeting: KJ - Thinks the Action Plan is too long. Members need to draft for discussion at next meeting - DC to send out. How do we factor Sustainable Hub stuff in? PV AGM is Wednesday 14th May. KJ is presenting on behalf of BCP and DC will prepare the display boards.
No report next meeting 5th June at PP house 7.30pm. 46.10. AGM: - 5/7/08 KJ suggested a discussion needs to take place at next meeting or at least before the AGM. Some people want to take a step back, e.g. (PP) has said he would like to step back as DC - is unlikely to be around for the AGM KB - The AGM agenda - item 7 has been missed. 46.11 AOB Bank Charges: AB - Nat West Bank are introducing charges for handling cheques and cash. He will work out the potential cost to BCP. Nationwide to not charge, the only problem is, having to travel to Horsham when large amounts of cash need to be paid into bank. We need to control payments in a better way. Website: DC - Website has got a 'hacker' changing minutes, numbers, deleting files etc. SE Action in Market Towns: KJ - BCP are being pressurised into hosting -SE Action in Market Towns-- 11th July 2008 in the Village Hall. Also Les Amstead wants us to produce a brochure for '5 towns' BCP Meetings: KJ - Do we need to have meetings every month?
