Boldre Parish HOME NEWS PARISH COUNCIL LOCAL INFORMATION CALENDAR You are here: Home News News Pilley Community Stores Limited (PCSL) - AGM Notice Published: Wednesday, 17 November 2021 16:16 Pilley Community Stores Limited (PCSL) will be holding their AGM on Thursday 2nd December 2021 at 6.30pm at Boldre Memorial Hall. Please note the AGM can only be attended by PCSL share holders - this is not a public meeting. Where organisations hold shared, only one representative should attend per organisation. BPC Meeting Report - November 2021 Published: Wednesday, 17 November 2021 16:14 BPC Councillors were hard at work on the recreation ground this month, removing the play equipment so that the building of the new hall can begin. Councillors Small, Kempe and Slattery spent two days removing equipment and digging up matting. BPC would like to thank them for their efforts. One set of red swings has been preserved, and they will be installed on a temporary basis near the kick wall and fitted with cradle seats for younger children. BPC was very pleased to see parishioners bringing their scrap metal to top up our skip. The skip was almost full when collected, and we hope to generate some funds from this towards the new play area. Our thanks to Councillor Mortimer for his work in arranging the skip and to Councillor Small for monitoring the public sessions. BPC heard the felt roof of the Norley Wood bus shelter was damaged and agreed to fix it. BPC heard further feedback regarding dog fouling on the recreation ground. Parishioners are reminded that dogs are not permitted on the recreation ground. The recreation ground is in regular use by the public and Lymington Sprites football team. Dog mess is known to transmit disease and generally makes the recreation ground unhygienic for users. BPC agreed to purchase additional signage to warn users that dogs are not permitted on the recreation ground. BPC would like to remind residents that now is the right time of year to cut hedges back, especially those adjacent to the highway. It is also a good time to check ditches are clear of debris to allow water to drain and avoid damage to the highways surface. The date for the next Parish Council meeting is December 13th. This will be an in-person meeting as it is no longer possible for Councillors or the Public to participate remotely due to Government legislation. Members of the public are welcome to attend but will be required to follow COVID restrictions or recommended advice when doing so. BPC Meeting Report - October 2021 Published: Tuesday, 26 October 2021 14:53 BPC were please to hear that the construction of the new hall to house Pilley Community Stores is due to commence in early November. This will mean that the play area next to the hall will be closed on November 1st and removed during that week by the Parish Council. It is planned that we will move one set of swings from the existing play park to nearer to the kick wall as a temporary installation. These swings will have cradle seats suitable for toddlers. Unfortunately, the other play equipment is not sufficiently robust to be moved and reinstated. Though we know the play area will be missed, we look forward to having a brand new installation in 2022. BPC approved funding for the Parish lengthsman to tidy the area around the South Baddesley war memorial. This has become somewhat overgrown, and the lengthsman will look to cut back the vegetation around the memorial as well as making repairs to the fencing. It is hoped that this work will be completed in advance of Remembrance day. BPC have had a request from East Boldre Parish Council to join with them and purchase a Speed Camera to be shared between speed watch groups in both Parishes. BPC received this request positively but requested further information on whether this will provide additional flexibility on where the Police advise that speed cameras can be used across the wider Parish. Councillors were also interested to understand if the new device would allow local speedwatch groups to perform more monitoring sessions than the existing equipment permits. BPC will be looking to work with the Boldre community speedwatch group to get more information on the proposal. The date for the next Parish Council meeting is November 8th. This will be an in-person meeting as it is no longer possible for Councillors or the Public to participate remotely due to Government legislation. Members of the public are welcome to attend but will be required to follow COVID restrictions or recommended advice when doing so.
