NWLDC Parish Liaison Meeting Notes Parish Liaison Meeting NWLDC Wednesday 15 th March 2017 Ian Nelson Local Plan The main change to the Housing and Economic plan is that a review has been put in place commencing early 2018 as the housing supply is different to what was planned and that NWLDC may need to take on more housing as Leicester City can't and won't be able to meet its target. Gypsy and Travellers the document is nearly complete and should be taken to Council in September The level of need is less than anticipated, therefore should be able to find available sites. 'Someone who is a traveller is someone that travels' definition. LCC and Parish Council The link/relationship. Relationship with County Councillor 2

3 Strategic Relationship Working with LRALC LCC give 20K to support LRALC Operational Relationship 3 x Clerks meetings per year. LCC have SHIRE grants that are available to Parish Council's (up to 3K for smaller grants and up to 10K) NWLDC Joint Charter Update The joint charter should remain the same; it s in the process of being sent through to the different departments at NWLDC for their approval. Ashby Neighbourhood Plan It s a very long process; Ashby started in 2013 and hopes to complete in Many consultations with the public have taken place to find out what the issues were and what local people wanted to see. The Neighbourhood Plan needs to sit alongside the NWLDC Local Plan another reason it s taken longer than expected. If other Council's would like to create a document like it, it is worthwhile, but PC's should not underestimate how much work it is for the Clerk. Almost a full-time job! Money for it can be available from Locality and other grants from government each year its cost! Training Parish Council Health Check PREVENT Free Training Mark.Wilson@leics.gov.uk NWLDC has a New Community Safety Team A new strategy online coming soon! Next Parish Liaison Meeting Wednesday 7 th June Funding Training Course Interesting and informative course, gave me a lot of ideas of how to successfully complete a funding application form. Transparency Code Course This applies to Breedon Parish Council as has a turnover (at present) of under 25k. This means that all data must be published on the website, which is open and free of charge to the public; including: end of year details, minutes, Councillors details etc. and that the Parish Council is exempt from an external audit after 2016/17. (Internal Audits remain the same) If successful in applying for a grant which would then take you over 25k you would then be required to send off an annual return to the external auditor. Documentation available from the Clerk. Pension I have received a letter from the Pensions Regulator confirming Breedon Parish Council (me) has completed a declaration of compliance with the Pensions Regulator under the Pensions Act Letter dated 8 th February Budget Update I have completed what the Parish Council has spent, which compares it to last year, however until I have the March bank statement I am unable to do the bank rec. I should have this within the week. Once I have this I can send it through to you, as I am getting everything ready for audit too at present. At the next Parish Council meeting I hope to have all the year-end documents to present including the annual return. 3
