11267Butt Lane Field – Lease and other matters

Discussions took place on various matters regarding the Butt Lane Sports Field site and it was considered that the Parish Council should be telling NELC what they wanted in respect of the Lease for the land etc.

Consideration was given to the following points:-

  • Is there a firm commitment from volunteers who originally wanted to get the site up and running, and how many volunteers are there?
  • How many hours must volunteers spend at the site to take money for tickets to use the tennis courts; basketball facilities and how would money be collected from the bowling club, footballers and cricketers.
  • Would it be possible to employ someone to be on the site – if so, Parish Council must consider minimum wage, number of hours to be worked, and the new auto enrolment in respect of pensions.
  • The Clerk brought up the matter of the travellers and how much it cost to remove them from the site – would the Parish Council want a clause in the Lease regarding this in respect of legalities – resolved the Clerk contact NELC to request costs under Freedom of Information requests.
  • Not sure yet what is to be done in respect of the 106 agreement for the anticipated 100 homes to be built off Blyth Way – upgraded road supposed to be connecting with the mini roundabout opposite the field.

Councillor Marshall queried who had not been down on site and looked inside the Pavilion or bowling green area – since most of the Councillors present wanted to do this – it was resolved that the Clerk organise keys from NELC to open up the Pavilion for inspection by the Parish Councillors on Wednesday 28 October 2015 at 10 am.

The meeting was declared closed at 8.50 p.m. by the Vice Chairman, Councillor Metcalf.
