November 20th 2018

The Antony Parish Council met on November 20th, 2018, to discuss various ongoing
community projects, important financial decisions, and updates affecting local
services and infrastructure within the parish.

Key Decisions & Updates

  • Boundary Commission: The Boundary Commission has reported that Antony
    Parish Council will now be included in the Torpoint ward for electoral
    purposes.
  • Tregantle Car Park: The council unanimously agreed to support the proposal
    for Peninsula Trust to take responsibility for the Tregantle Car Park. The
    car park would be free, and measures would be taken to prevent on and
    off-road parking along Military Road. Plans also include developing the land
    to feature visitor destination boardings and a centre. The Clerk will write
    a letter of support for this initiative.

Community Amenities & Maintenance

  • Wilcove Grating: A new grating has been purchased and is awaiting
    installation. Councillor Carter will organise its fitting.
  • Safety Mirror: The safety mirror has been purchased and is awaiting
    installation. Councillor Shepherd will acquire a pole to complete this task.
  • Playground Repairs: Some repairs are required for equipment in both play
    areas. These repairs are in hand, with Councillor Carter agreeing to provide
    the necessary materials.
  • Wilcove to Wacker Footpath: The council is awaiting an update from Mr.
    Rideout regarding the status of this footpath.
  • Wilcove Potholes: Most potholes in Wilcove have been repaired, with the
    exception of a large one at the bottom of Pengelly Hill. Councillor Coward
    and the Clerk will follow up on this remaining pothole.
  • Hedge Trimming: The Clerk will contact Mr. Turner to request that all
    hedges in Wilcove, including those on Pengelly Hill, be trimmed.

Finance Matters

  • Solar Benefit Fund: It was approved that the Solar Benefit Fund should be
    divided between both villages. Relevant councillors will be responsible for
    the expenditure, and the Clerk will provide a schedule detailing the
    allocation of these funds.
  • Precept 2019/2020: The Precept (the amount requested from the local
    authority to cover council expenses) for the 2019/2020 financial year was
    set at £12,500.
  • A replacement cheque will be raised for cheque number 101405 for £35.94,
    which was reported as lost.
  • All payments for November 2018 were reviewed and approved by the council
    members.

Planning Applications

  • The council reviewed two planning applications: PA18/10039 for Jupiter Point
    and PA18/09533 for 4 Pengelly Park. No objections were raised against either
    of these applications.
