|Report from Alan King: |

| |

|The on-going issues both from and since the last MPC Meeting ~ 15th November 2011 (all reported for action to Peter Watson at the Countryside |

|Service of Hampshire County Council) are as follows: |

| |

|The fingerpost on Broad Road where footpath 4 emerges has been repaired (replaced). |

| |

|The fingerpost north of the bridge on the north side of the A303 footpath is down. |

| |

|Signage is missing at the end of Boat 12 where it meets the Grateley Road at Oaklahoma Farm. |

| |

|The track up to the “crossroads” from Sunny Bank (“Monxton Lane” Boat 11) has not been trimmed during either the 2010/11 winter or to date this |

|winter. Complaints have been received that the vegetation on the track is now excessive. |

| |

|The majority of the spoil tipped on Boat 8 was removed during week commencing 12th December 2011 leaving a residue of brick, concrete and tarmac |

|rubble in the hedge (for a length of approximately 70 metres. Debris as yet to be removed remains in the hedgerow. |

| |

|Complaints have been received that the width of Bridleway 7 as maintained by the land owner is not adequate (and is less than is defined in the |

|Definitive Statement of Public Rights of Way). |

| |

|During the weekend of 19th November 2011 it was reported that obstructions had been placed at all four “ends” of Boats 8 & 11 so preventing |

|vehicular use of the public byeways. |

| |

|The fingerpost sign is broken off the post at the entrance to Bridleway 721 (Bryning Lodge) were vans / lorries undertaking building work have been|

|parking / turning. This has been repaired on a temporary basis. |

|Phil Allen of HCC Countryside Service is visiting Monxton with Peter Watson on the 9th February 2012 to view the obstructions for himself and |

|decide how to resolve the issue. TVBC, as Agents of HCC, have refused to remove the obstructions as “fly-tipping”. Phil Allen of HCC has said |

|that he will consider asking the Police to commence a criminal action for “unlawful obstruction of a Public Highway”. |

| |

|Since the 15th November 2011 footpaths 4, 6 & 502, Bridleway 7, 9 & 721 and BOATS 8 & 11 have been walked. |

| |

|Note |

|Fly-tipping can be reported by anyone to the Street Scene Team at Test Valley Borough Council who are part of “Customer Services” and are |

|contactable on 01264 368000. They require a brief (but accurate) description / quantity of the material to be removed together with an exact |

|location. |

| |

|Report from Robert Davies: |

| |

|There were no serious incidents involving the Police in Monxton, since the last Parish Council meeting. |

|Since 1.11.11 – 31.1.12 there have been 7 incidents incl. lost/found property, suspicious vehicle and criminal damage. The Police (to achieve |

|more with less) will be utilising more technology to free-up Police time to enable them to spend more time out in the community. |

| |

|For example – |

| |

|1. The Police Officers have been issued with Blackberrys that can access the Police National Computer directly. With this they can do |

|“on-the-spot” checks on car registration numbers, check on suspicious people or property which could be stolen |

|2. Also finger prints can be taken by the Blackberry and it is possible to get identification result back in 20 seconds. |

|3. The local Police are using Twitter now… for appeals for information, give notification of speed checks etc. |

| |

|There will be an article in the Parish News giving more details. |

| |

|The Police have been active in the village undertaking speed checks. 7 vehicles stopped (2 fixed penalty; 5 warned) Thanks to David Trowbridge |

|for coming to the meeting; He explained how the Community Speed Watch Scheme worked. |

| |

|In short – the main points are |

| |

|Before the scheme starts |

| |

|A 30MPH area should be identified which will be risk assessed by the Police. 6 Volunteers are needed (incl. one lead volunteer), minimum age 17 |

|years. |

|Once the site is approved (up to 3 sites), the equipment is purchased (£3k). Hampshire constabulary will train, free of charge, how to use the |

|gun (flashing device). Takes as little as 3 months to get up and running. |

| |

|The scheme |

|The Lead Volunteer co-ordinates volunteers. Equipment is stored at the Police Station. Lead volunteer inputs info to the Police computer. |

|Letters will be received next day by the speeders. Persistent offenders will be visited by the Police. Running costs- allow £50p.a. Need High |

|Visibility jackets. 3 people out at one time. |

| |

|Please ensure all domestic oil is kept securely and with a lock and chain. |

| |

|Please continue to report any incidents or anything suspicious please Ring 101 to call PC Roger Kitson, who will act upon the call. |
