Introducing the

Hathers

Parish Council Magazine

We are delighted to introduce our new quarterly Parish Council Magazine serving the Parish of Hathersage.

The village of Hathersage enjoys an enviable position in the Hope Valley in the heart of the Peak District National Park, set close to the River Derwent with the rugged backdrop of Stanage Edge to the north.

The village of today has a population of 2,000 people with three churches, a village school, pubs, cafes, and a wealth of amenities, not least the open air heated swimming pool, open for over 6 months of the year. This is a vibrant community with many groups and organisations in its midst, serving a wide age range and interests from sport to horticulture and history. The proud traditions of Well Dressing and Gala still take place each year in July, and all year round visitors come here for the wonderful walking and climbing nearby.

The purpose of this magazine is to provide information about the work of the Parish Council, wider local government issues which may affect our residents and businesses, general local news and events and local contacts and facilities.

The Parish Council already has a website www.hathersageparishcouncil.gov.uk which is a well-used and valuable means

HATHERSAGE PARISH COUNCIL

2015/2016 ANNUAL REPORT Introduction The full Hathersage Parish Council met at least monthly between 1 April 2015 and 31 March 2016. This report summarises the key issues dealt with by the Council and its various committees.

At Hathersage Parish Council meetings we also had the District and County Councillors, the Police, and members of the public also attended some meetings. Hathersage Parish Council would like to express its appreciation to these outside bodies for their support and advice during the past year.

This was the first year of the newly constituted Hathersage Parish Council following the Community Governance Review in 2015.

Following a public consultation and petition Derbyshire Dales District Council had agreed that the former parishes of Hathersage and Outseats would cease to exist, and a new Parish Council would be created representing the whole village and Parish of Hathersage. Strictly speaking, as this is a newly constituted Parish and Parish Council there is no legal or constitutional connection with the previous Hathersage Parish Council and the former Outseats Parish Council.

This Annual Report deals with the business of Hathersage Parish Council from the first meeting of the new Parish Council.

Following the Parish Council elections in May 2015 the fourteen elected Hathersage Parish Councillors were Bill Gordon, Bill Hanley, Bridget Hanley, Jean Hodgkinson, David Jackson, Kat Love, Peter Mander, Jane Marsden, Rosie Olle, Simon Richardson, Heather Rodgers, James Shuttleworth, Jennifer Wedgwood and Pauling Whitney. Peter Mander was elected Chair and Jane Marsden was elected Vice Chair Subsequently Councillor Jean Hodgkinson resigned in October 2015 and Councillor Simon Richardson resigned in February 2016. All Councillors are thanked for their hard work and unselfish commitment to the community of Hathersage. HPC is in the process of co-opting a replacement and giving notice of the further casual vacancy.

Hathersage is a large Parish, and the council deals with a lot of different issues. For Parish Council business to be managed as effectively and

efficiently as possible most business is delegated to a number of committees and working groups.

These are the Swimming Pool Committee, Recreation Committee, Amenities Committee, Transport Committee, Planning Committee, Burial Committee and Finance Committee.

There is a Website Working Group and the Parish Council also sends representatives to meetings of other groups such as Heart for Hathersage, the Memorial Hall Management Committee, the Stanage Steering Group and Hope Construction Materials Liaison Group.

The various committees are covered in more detail below, but Hathersage Parish Council also continues to rely heavily on the contribution of Hathersage residents who work tirelessly as volunteers. The Swimming Pool Committee, and the various groups of staff and volunteers in Marketing and Fundraising who are involved with running our wonderful pool have again

worked very hard and continued to improve the facilities and events on offer. Hathersage Parish Council thanks them again this year for all their efforts. There is a separate Annual Report for the pool and copies are available from the pool office.

The Recreation Committee is responsible for the Playing Field and Skate Park, Play Ground and Hard Play Area. Again, Hathersage Parish Council thanks the volunteers and all the many fundraisers and members of the community who contributed in so many ways to the replanting, landscaping, upkeep and development of these facilities.

Mention must also be made of Alan Kydd and John Wooddisse (Footpaths Officers), John Dalton (Website Manager), Brian Wood (Internal Auditor) and Brian Griffiths (Examiner for the King George’s Field Charity) and to Chris Cave (Finance Officer). In September 2015 the Parish Council was delighted to appoint Christine Wilkinson as Assistant Clerk to help Allyson Jones (Clerk) with the new larger administrative workload of the new larger Parish Council.

Thanks are due to all for their unstinting efforts to support the work of the Parish Council with commitment and humour, sometimes in somewhat trying and difficult circumstances.

Thanks to Richard Brougham our Village Caretaker who has a route through the village three times a week with regular maintenance of various areas, playground inspections and dealing with problems as they arise. If there is any area causing you concern please report it to the Clerk so it can be put on Richard’s job list. There are occasionally issues such as path clearing when leaves are falling during the autumn when there is a very high demand on the Village Caretaker’s time and the patience and understanding of residents is very much appreciated. Also, please note that for certain areas, bin emptying is the responsibility of Derbyshire Dales District Council.

Full Council Meetings The business of the full council meetings this year has included taking part in consultation over a possibility put forward by Isabel Frenzel, the Rural Housing Enabler of DDDC for an affordable housing development at a potential site off Castleton Road. There has been much correspondence and meeting time taken up over this matter which is still in the very early concept stage with no firm proposals so far on the table.

that there are considerable objections to be overcome to arrive at a workable development plan. Issues of concern are the speed of traffic on Castleton Road and the safety of the footpath– significant traffic calming measures and road signage must be in place to address these concerns. HPC has also raised concerns about the size and nature of the development, as the number, size and type of dwellings must properly reflect an up-to-date assessment of housing need.

For full details please refer to the February 2016 HPC minutes which are available on the Parish Council website or by request from the Clerk.

Members of the public who wish to raise their own concerns are encouraged to write to DDDC and PDNPA direct, as the more people who write, the stronger the argument.

HPC has been involved with and supported the installation of public access defibrillators in the village. The council thanks Ian Weekes for his efforts towards providing this facility for the Parish.

The Safer Neighbourhood Team has been in discussion with HPC and it is now agreed that HPC will take on the ongoing maintenance costs for CCTV to be installed in Hathersage. There will be 8 CCTV cameras, 7 general area cameras and one with number plate recognition. This is expected to have a major beneficial contribution to security and control and identification of speeding traffic through the village and is due to be installed over the coming months.

The work of the committees – 1. The Swimming Pool Committee Councillor Members - Bridget Hanley, David Jackson (Chair), Peter Mander, Jane Marsden, Heather Rodgers, Pauline Whitney. The meetings are also attended by our Professional Adviser from DDDC and by Pool Management Staff and representatives from the volunteer groups.

The committee has the responsibility of running the pool, ably supported by a very loyal and terrific staff. Hathersage Swimming Pool is one of the few (now less than a hundred) open air pools in the country and this year it will be celebrating its 80th birthday with an event on Sunday 24th July. A few years ago we reorganised the management structure of the pool to involve many of the enthusiastic members of the village who are as anxious as the Council to ensure the pool remains open for another 80 years.

The last few years have been marvellous with many communal events held at the pool

which have been successful and have also brought many additional visitors to the village. Swimming times have been altered and expanded and this has brought in many new customers. Last year saw the addition of the much appreciated Aqua fun inflatable which is available for private hire events. The garden at the entrance to the pool was created and in preparation for the 2016 season work has been done on the perimeter fence, and new cubicles and benches have been installed.

Planning and preparation has been ongoing towards extensive work to be carried out on the solarium this autumn and winter which will secure the structure and hopefully install energy saving and also energy producing equipment.

2. The Recreation Committee Councillor Members - Kat Love, Peter Mander, Jane Marsden (Chair), Heather Rodgers, Jennifer Wedgwood. Meetings are also attended by volunteers who have given their time and energy in particular towards creating the MUGA (Multi Use Games Area).

This year the Recreation Committee has organised extensive replanting and landscaping in the playing field, and has done a lot of work resolving the

flooding issues on the football pitch and re-levelling it. New play bark has been put into the Play Area, the play equipment has been extensively repaired and the Bowling Green Gate has been replaced.

The committee has also been working towards resurfacing the Hard Play Area to create a MUGA. This work involves research, negotiation and a lot of fundraising and grant applications. Depending on funding being available (decision on a grant from Sports England is due early May) the MUGA is expected to be installed over this spring/ summer. The Recreation Committee has also been researching outdoor table tennis tables to find the most suitable type to install in the Playing Field. This is in response to demand from residents who have said they would really find this a great facility for adults and older children, and it is being provided from a generous bequest from Catherine Nicklin a stalwart member of the Hathersage community who sadly passed away in 2015.

3. Amenities Committee (Village Centre Development) Councillor Members – Bill Gordon, Jean Hodgkinson, David Jackson, Peter Mander (Chair), Rosie Ollé, Pauline Whitney.

During summer 2015 the Amenities Committee was principally concerned with managing the transfer of ownership of the public conveniences on Main Road from Derbyshire Dales District Council to Hathersage Parish Council. Also, with the transfer of ownership to HPC of a small strip of land alongside the public conveniences belonging to Dales Housing. This was a complex business. Discussions with DDDC had been ongoing for several years and when eventually the final stage of the transaction was put in motion September 2014 it still took a number of further months to conclude. It was with much relief that on Friday 7th August 2015 Hathersage Parish Council had ownership of all the land required for the Heart for Hathersage development. Ownership was necessary before we could make grant applications towards the funding of the village centre rebuilding works.

Unfortunately, grants were not forthcoming.

The full Council took the decision to pursue a Public Works Loan Board loan application. The Public Works Loan Board (PWLB) is a statutory body operating within the United Kingdom Debt Management Office, an Executive Agency of HM Treasury. It lends money to Parish and Town

Councils at extremely favourable interest rates for the funding of facilities for the benefit of the public. Part of the loan application requirements are extensive public consultation. During late 2015 and through early 2016 the Amenities Committee has worked together with Heart for Hathersage as a joint working group arranging the public consultation and planning the detail of the development. The plans have gone through a number of revisions to arrive at what is thought to be the right balance to provide a village centre with maximum amenity for the community, at the lowest cost/best value. A planning application has now been submitted to PDNPA and work will continue towards a PWLB loan application. Providing these are successful work should start autumn 2016.

4. Transport Committee Councillor Members – Bill Gordon, Bill Hanley, Kat Love, Rosie Ollé (Chair), James Shuttleworth.

In 2015/16 the Transport Committee has been heavily involved in the Network Rail Hope Valley Capacity Scheme consultation. First stages of meetings and correspondence began in early 2015 and the Public Inquiry begins on

h

Hathersage Parish Council Magazine 13 03/06/2016 12:02

10th May 2016. Whilst the potential improvement in rail services to Hathersage is welcomed in principle, there are many flaws in the detail of Network Rail’s proposals. The committee has submitted its detailed objections in writing to be considered by the Inquiry. We know that members of the public have also been very actively involved in this consultation. Clearly this scheme has the potential to have a substantial impact on Hathersage, and Hathersage Parish Council is striving to ensure that the right decisions will be made for all aspects of quality of life in the village.

In 2016 the Transport Committee has also been in discussion with Isobel Mulligan of Economy, Transport and Environment at Derbyshire County Council to explore the possibility of a Residents Parking Scheme in Hathersage. This had been explored in previous years, to no avail, possibly because DCC had been looking at a larger scheme than would be viable for Hathersage.

A smaller scale scheme has recently been implemented in Bakewell, and taking this as a model the Transport Committee is hopeful of making some progress, although at the time of writing progress does seem to have stalled.

The Transport Committee also deals with the detail of road markings and signage, road closures and footpaths. At the request of the Transport Committee double yellow lines have been reinstated and extended by Derbyshire County Council Highways Department. Various measures have been put in place to try and stop school run parking along School Lane and on the verges around into Sheffield Road which cause considerable damage to the grass verges.

‘No cycling’ signs have been put up by HPC on several footpaths this year as a direct response to requests from residents. Based on reports from the Footpaths Officers Alan Kydd and John Wooddisse

we are working towards improvements to several footpaths and to the Stepping Stones. This involves liaison with landowners and with the Countryside Maintenance Team of the Peak District National Park Authority. The Transport Committee is also monitoring developments concerning Hurstclough Lane, Gatehouse Lane and Long Causeway. The Transport Committee has written to object to the DCC proposals for cuts to Community Transport.

Residents are invited to report any problems with roads, pavements and footpaths to the Transport Committee (via the Clerk).

5. Planning Committee Councillor Members – Bill Gordon, Jean Hodgkinson, Jane Marsden (Chair), Heather Rodgers, James Shuttleworth (sub).

The Planning Committee meets as needed to consider Planning Applications as part of the PDNPA consultation process. The committee considered 24 planning applications during 2015/16, mostly small scale alterations to existing residential properties in the village which had little impact on the village as a whole and therefore the Planning Committee had relatively few causes to object. The Planning Committee is required to restrict its comments to Material Objections.

(For information on what constitutes a material objection, details are available from the Clerk.)

Councillors will discuss whether a Planning Application is appropriate within its setting, and whether they consider there are any problems with the application which affect the wider community.

Councillors wouldn’t necessarily be aware if there are particular reasons why neighbours or others might object to any individual application. Anyone objecting to a planning application should put their objection in writing to Peak District National Park Planning Department directly, not through the Parish Council. You can do so on the PDNPA

website. However, it would be of benefit if the objections were also copied to the Parish Clerk so the Parish Council can be made aware of neighbours’ objections to bear them in mind when they consider the application.

Councillors may not always agree with the neighbours’ objections but in some cases they may wish to support the neighbours’ point of view if it is reasonable, and if the reasons are ones which the PDNPA would consider valid.

Ultimately the decision on Planning Applications rests with the PDNPA who may not agree with any points that the Parish Council make.

The Planning Committee also consider wider planning issues such as the Flood Plan Consultation, the Derbyshire and Derby Minerals Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.

6. Finance Committee Councillor Members - David Jackson, Peter Mander, Jane Marsden, Heather Rodgers, James Shuttleworth 7. Burial Ground Committee Members – Peter Mander, Heather Rodgers, Jane Marsden, Simon Richardson.

The Burial Committee meets as needed and carries out site visits to the Burial Ground to oversee maintenance and upkeep requirements.

Work has been done to address the problem of some of the graves sinking. Following the 2015 consecration and landscaping of ground for more burial of ashes and for memorial plaques, the Burial Committee is continuing to work towards acquiring more land for the Burial Ground, as more land will be needed for burial than is currently allocated. District Councillor Jean Monks is now pursuing this with DDDC on our behalf. At the time of writing an additional waste bin is being purchased for the Burial Ground. Maintenance

John George Exceptional, Bespoke, Fitted and Free-Standing Furniture and Joinery Made to Measure

of the Parish Burial Registers continues to be overseen by the Burial Ground Committee.

8. Website Working Group Councillor Members – Bill Gordon, Bill Hanley and Pauline Whitney. The meetings are also attended by our Website Manager John Dalton to whom many thanks for his work and expertise. Christine Wilkinson our Assistant Clerk is also to be thanked for her efforts in keeping the content up to date and efficiently uploading the many documents.

This year the Website Working Group has completely overhauled the website and brought about a much better control of content, ease of updating and an overall much better looking site. Work is still ongoing to further develop the website with plans to increase the network of links to other relevant sites, to increase the amount of information about what’s on in the village, and to look into connecting with other social media to maximise the quality, quantity and speed of getting relevant Parish Council information into the public domain.

9. Village Matters The Parish Council recognises the work of the Memorial Hall Committee, for their efficient running of the Hall and the continuing improvements to the fabric of the building. This year HPC took the decision to more actively support the Memorial Hall by holding as many meetings as possible at the Hall in the various meeting rooms.

HPC also recognises the value of the work undertaken by the Heart for Hathersage Group and is pleased to have been able to be more involved and more supportive to H4H over the last year.

10. Going Forward This has been a significant and memorable year for the Council, with a great deal of

work being carried out. Hathersage Parish Council has vigorously pursued the interests of local residents in all aspects of village life. It must be recognised that in the face of austerity measures from the higher tiers of government – the District, County Councils, and national government, a Parish Council still has relatively little influence.

Hathersage Parish Council recognises that the community of Hathersage includes a diverse and varied population, and needs and wishes differ from one individual to the next. Hathersage Parish Council strives always to achieve the best possible balance for the greatest good, and has always listened to points of view from residents before reaching a decision.

A new project going forward is the setting up of a Chamber of Commerce for businesses in and around the village. HPC plans to initiate this in order to create a mutually supportive network to help local businesses to survive and prosper and benefit from having a stronger combined voice in the still very challenging economic climate. Sufficient local businesses have already shown an interest and we now invite any further Hathersage and area businesses to contact the Clerk with a view to arranging a first meeting.

The Parish Council will be continuing to monitor and maintain Parish Council properties, facilities and services.

We are pleased to introduce a new quarterly Parish Council magazine delivered free of charge to every household (at no cost to the ratepayer).

This is not intended to take the place of the well-loved Hathersage News, but to concentrate specifically on Parish Council business mainly for the benefit of those residents who do not have access to the extensive amount of detail available on the Parish Council website.

The village centre development will also continue to be a major focus.

Members of the public are reminded that they are welcome to attend meetings. There is always an opportunity at the start of the meeting for members of the public to address the Council with any issues they may have. Alternatively, if you wish to contact the Parish Council, please telephone or email the Clerk, Allyson Jones (Clerk to Hathersage Parish Council).

John Heath & Sons AN INDEPENDENT FAMILY FUNERAL BUSINESS

Sometime……….

You will probably have the responsibility of making funeral arrangements. No one looks forward to this responsibility, but the death of a family member or friend brings with it an obligation that must be met. There are people who can help you meet this responsibility. We have been helping people combine the different aspects of the funeral into a meaningful service for over 130 years.

The Heart for Hathersage project is nearly complete!

The design is finally ready to be turned into reality!

WE now need YOU, THE VILLAGE COMMUNITY, to bring this project to life!

Funding will be provided by: 1. Funds set aside by Hathersage Parish Council in the precept and raised by Heart for Hathersage over recent years through fundraising events and generous personal donations.

2. A Public Service Loan, to be applied for by Hathersage Parish Council and authorised by the community.

3. A Sponsorship Campaign – Sponsor an engraved flagstone for yourself, your family or street, your special interest group, society or sports club – the options are endless! A unique opportunity to take permanent ownership of your community space at the heart of Hathersage. Don’t miss it!

The more we can raise through sponsorship, the less we will need for the loan, so it is up to us to act now!

Meet us at the Heart for Hathersage stand on Gala Saturday 9th July or at a drop-in meeting on Saturday 16th July between 11am and 3pm in the Lawrence Hall.

Please come along and have your say – we need to hear from you!

Raising Funds for MUGA

On Saturday 23rd April, a fundraising event was held in the Memorial Hall to raise funds for the new MUGA (Multi Use Games Area) surface on the hard-courts in front of the pool.

The night was a huge success, with support coming from all directions. A multitude of local businesses donated prizes to the raffle and auction, many individuals helped out on the night and food and drink was kindly supplied by John Judson from the Nag’s Head in Castleton, Intrepid Brewery at Vincent Works, Brough and Hope Valley Ice Cream.

The focus of the night was the live music from two bands who didn’t fail to entertain. After Imogen skilfully warmed the crowd up with a DJ set, the support band’ Glass Half Empty (not to be confused with Running on Empty) had people up and dancing in no time.

After a break in proceedings for a quick pie and

pea supper and Hope Valley Ice Cream, local band, Mill Stone Grit took to the stage and continued to keep things lively. Quite a transformation occurs when a group of dads, usually seen helping at football on a Saturday and Sunday mornings, take to the stage and begin performing!

A great night was had by many people and £5,500 was raised in the process.

Hathersage Parish Council would like to thank all those that helped make the night what it was.

Hathersage Parish Council is waiting to hear if they were successful in a grant application from Sports England to cover the remaining costs of the new MUGA. More news on this to follow in the next newsletter.
