The Chair read an email from N&SDC concerning possible stewards and the use of the Village Hall for the Olympic Torch Relay. It was agreed that the staff team would have other commitments on the day. It was also agreed that the Parish Council Office could be used for the 'community hub'. Clerk to talk to Playgroup and Pat Bamford and respond to N&SDC.
Youth Provision There have been several incidents of antisocial behaviour around the village and this has raised the importance to provide a facility for young people. A working group has been set up to look at the options.
The police have given the following advice concerning reporting incidents:
Identify the hotspot areas where the problems are occurring - i.e. Conservation Area / Cricket ground car park.
Communicate to residents that live in neighbouring properties that they need to report to the police at the time when the problems are occurring. There may be times when police can't attend depending on staffing levels/serious incidents etc however in recent weeks the police have been successful in catching the offenders through repeated calls. When the reports are made they need to be as detailed as possible i.e. clothing/age/hair colour etc so that if the group move off from the area we can still identify them.
There will be a letter drop to the residents surrounding the Conservation Area to call when issues arise - callers can remain anonymous and will not be visited unless they require a visit. The more calls that are made regarding incidents at a specific location will get that area more attention especially if they mention it is a constant problem.
If there are named offenders then ourselves and the ASB officer Sue Miller can address this and work out a course of action to tackle the individual. The Conservation Area will be added to the weekend patrols list - the Cricket Ground / Forest Corner and adjoining Forest car park are already on the list. The Mansfield Road toilets have been vandalised several times recently. A decision has been made to open them between 7.00am - 3.00pm.
The meetings are well attended and participants are very enthusiastic. Totally Locally will run on the first Saturday of each month and the Arts Festival organisation is progressing well. It is important for District and Parish councillors to attend the meeting.
11/0174 AGENDA
It was agreed that this year's AGM will take place on Thursday 10th May commencing at 6.30pm, immediately followed by the Ordinary Meeting. Meeting dates for 2012/13 were also agreed and will be published in the notice boards and on the website.
The second village newsletter has been well received with very positive verbal feedback. Unfortunately, some residents have not received their copies. Any residents that have not received a copy should make the Parish Council aware so it can be addressed with the delivery company.

11/181 REPORTS FROM COUNTY AND DISTRICT COUNCILLORS
D/Cllr Brooks gave a verbal report to the meeting. Copies of report to be put in notice boards and on the village website.
Both Councillors, John Peck and Celia Brooks, continue to work on individual cases raised by residents of Edwinstowe.
A meeting was held in Edwinstowe with the Chief Planning Officer from Newark and Sherwood District Council to discuss the proposed development on East Lane behind the Jug and Glass. The Jug and Glass building itself was discussed but as yet there are no plans in place for its future use. Both Councillors are keen to see its facade protected and the building put to good use and an asset to the Village and the High Street.
Other areas discussed were the empty building on Mansfield Road (formally a newsagent/shop) and the children's play area on Friars Park. We hope to find a way forward on both these areas of concern in the near future.
We are also working with Newark and Sherwood Officers on a tree planting scheme for the wider grass verges on the roads leading into the Village. This will need support from the County Council as some of these are there responsibility.
Both Councillors are keen to work with the local anti-social behaviour teams and the police to try to address issues of anti-social behaviour raised by several residents throughout the Village. We know that the vast majority of young people in the Village act perfectly responsibly but unfortunately a small group do cause nuisance problems in a few 'hot spots'.
C/Cllr Ward was not in attendance however; it has come to the attention of the Parish Council that Cllr Ward has submitted two funding requests to NCC Local Improvement Scheme. One for parking bays on Fourth Avenue and one for seating on Sixth Avenue.
These requests have been approved, without notification or consultation with the Parish Council. It was agreed for the Chair to write to NCC expressing concern. Clerk to liaise with the Chair.
It was also agreed to write to C/Cllr Cutts requesting firm dates for the works on the junction of Rose Cottage/A614 and when the future improvements to Ollerton Roundabout will take place. Clerk to liaise with the Chair
