PEAS SchemeCouncil is asked to discuss the completion of the attached PEAS form.

Following the adverse weather conditions in early March we are now beginning our planning for the 2018/19 winter season.

Due to the cold weather experienced it is expected that most of the PEAS equipment previously supplied has now probably depleted. We are therefore sending around the PEAS application form for next season earlier than normal to allow for restocking. Please complete the attached form outlining your requirements for next season and return to the Weather Team before the end of August.

We are also trying to ascertain the use of the grit bins over the past couple of months and would be grateful if you could undertake an audit of the salt bins in your parish and let us know which ones require refilling and also if there are any bins that normally go unused in the area. This will help us to update our records and ensure the grit bins are strategically located. If you would like a plan of your parish showing where we believe the grit bins are located then please let us know.

Furthermore, if you would like any assistance in developing a snow plan to sit within your community emergency plan then again let us know and we will be happy to help. Kind Regards Jack Francis Weather & Drainage Technical Officer

Horningsham School Governors ReportCouncil is asked to hear a report from the School Governors, if received.

Wiltshire Council Councillors Briefing Note No. 348 Electoral Review of Wiltshire Council – Update Consultation on New Division Boundaries Background Council is asked to discuss the below:

1. As detailed in Briefing Note No. 337, on 17 October 2017 Full Council was informed that the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (‘the Commission’) would be undertaking an electoral review of Wiltshire Council. The review would be to consider the total number of councillors on the council, and then review the numbers and boundaries of electoral divisions within the council, for implementation at the next elections in May 2021.The decision on the number of councillors, and pattern of divisions, is taken by Parliament following the recommendation of the Commission.

2. Full Council established an Electoral Review Committee (‘the Committee’) to progress any council responses to the Commission. For the preliminary stage of the review the Council was invited to make a submission setting out what it felt the evidence demonstrated would be the optimum council size moving forward, taking into account the Council’s governance arrangements, its regulatory and scrutiny functions, and the representational role of councillors.

3. Following work from the Committee, on 20 February 2018 Full Council approved a submission which argued that the most appropriate council size moving forward would be99, an increase of 1 from the current position. In particular, the fundamental role of community area boards was highlighted. The final version, as submitted to the Commission, can be found at this link.

4. The Council will be informed by the end of April 2018 of the ‘minded to’ decision of the Commission on council size. A further update to councillors will follow at that stage.

Next Phase 5. The next phase of the Electoral Review, which is officially the first stage of the formal review process, is for the Commission to seek representations on new electoral division boundaries for Wiltshire Council, based on the total number of councillors being proposed. As part of this process there will be public consultation on the new division boundaries for the Council. This will be to allow the Council, other organisations and members of the public, to make representations and provide

13

Page 14:   · Web viewThe meeting will consider the items set ... and make comments, regarding ... This evergreen competition is designed to foster pride in our beautiful Wiltshire

evidence on the most appropriate pattern of divisions moving forward. The Commission will use that evidence to assist in drawing up their draft recommendations for electoral divisions, on which they will consult later in the year.

6. The Commission will create a consultation portal for the Wiltshire Council review onTheir website, on which they will include all relevant materials and instructions for organisations and the public to construct a suitable submission.

7. Any submissions to the Commission will be required to seek to create divisions as close as possible to the figure of electors per division (not total population per division) identified by the Commission’s ‘minded to’ decision, whilst also seeking to reflect Community identities and provided convenient and effective local government.Localised evidence from organisations and communities may justify a certain level of variance from that figure, but submissions will need to provide evidenced justification for any such variance.
