F S F F P RESOLVED
21/22-32 To receive reports from District and County Councillors and the Police.
a) Welcome to Penny Robins our new District Councillor. Unfortunately, apologies had been received by Cllr. Penny Robins. She submitted the following report:
At District level, the most recent data of COVID shows the number of cases per 100,000 people over a seven-day period in South Kesteven had reached 259.8. Just over a month ago it was 38.6.
Since the very start of the pandemic, the health and wellbeing of staff, members and customers has remained a top priority of SKDC.
The Council have undertaken a planning review, it is independent, and the aim is to streamline the service and make it more efficient. The report should go to Cabinet in September.
There is a review of the Arts and Culture, again for the same reason.
Housing - The Housing regulator to which we self-referred, is very positive about the steps we are making within the whole housing team.
Communication between LCC and SKDC are underway, with the accent on finding a solution for the poor state of repairs at the Deeping Leisure centre.
The budget will be balanced this year, but there will not be a lot of surplus money so things will be tight and this has been caused generally by the COVID Pandemic.
Onto local issues, I have provided your chairman with an update on the SKDC owned bins. The Carlby Playing field Committee has been successful in securing the SKDC community fund award they applied for.
24 High Street, has been granted Planning permission. With regards to 11 High Street, I am working hard to make sure the new planning application received for the unsightly fence is either refused or an agreement reached with the developer that he returns the boundary to what was on the original planning permission. I will constantly monitor this and consultation from the public is bring sought on SKDC planning portal under S21/1387.
As you know our County Councillor Bob Adams is away from Council duties due to ill health. In the meantime , if there is any pressing County Issues, I can take these up on your behalf but channel them through another County Councillor.
Action: Clerk to make contact with PCSO.

a) Cllr. Dair proposed to prepare a case for walls and buildings in Carlby to be Local Heritage Listed. Local listing makes protection against planning system, within the National Planning Framework and is part of material consideration in the planning process. Special consideration does not mean they are totally protected but would be given extra consideration when an application is received by a Planning Officer.
