BPC 2013 Chairman’s Report
Burneside Parish Council
(with Strickland Roger & Strickland Ketel)
Web Site: www.burneside.org.uk
Chairman’s Report May 2013
1. Parish Council meetings are normally held on the first Tuesday of each month, with a notice posted on the website and noticeboards. Agendas are also available. Minutes are posted on the website, noticeboards, and there are usually edited versions in the Parish monthly newsletter and the Westmorland Gazette. All documents can be requested from the Clerk. Meetings are usually held at 7.00 pm, with a public participation session early in the meeting when members of the public are invited to address the Council on any issues for future consideration. Members of the public are welcome to attend all of the Council and Committee meetings, except where it is notified that a particular item of business is exempt under the Public Bodies (Admission to Meetings) Act 1960.
2. This year has seen the continuation of a number of major projects which will take some time to complete:
a. The Emergency Response Plan
b. The Local Transport Policy
c. Neighbourhood Planning Advisory Group
d. Flood Action Group
The active involvement of residents is urgently needed if these activities, many coming from points
in the Community Led Plan, are to be successful.
3. The Parish Council has made representations with mixed success on :
a. Litter & Dog Fouling b. Bus & Rail Transport c. Traffic Issues d. Condition of Roads & Footpaths
The Council successfully completed a transfer to the Kendal Local Area Partnership, which has so far proved very beneficial in terms of increased financial support to the Parish.
4. Major effort has been put into the SLDC Inspection of the Land Allocations, part of their Local Development Framework. The final stages of this should be reached this year.
5.Other results include :
a. Provision & refurbishment of bus shelters b. Enhancments to Play area c. Organising a meeting for local groups d. Organising a Parish Meeting
6. The Council has given support to the Jubilee committee, BLAG, Burneside Sports Day and the Youth Club, Kendal Mountain rescue, Air Ambulance amongst others.
7. None of this work could have taken place without the daily efforts of the Clerk, and the Councillors who continue to represent us on an increasing number of panels and interest groups. Finally, personal thanks go to the Deputy Chair for her support and advice

“I am sure there are lots of issues that the public are keen for us to look at and discuss and we want to know what they are.
“We shall be finalising the new programme shortly and we hope the O and S Committee can challenge so as to seek improvements and make sure the council is providing value for money services that benefit the community.”
