The items in the next few sections will not be gone through one by one, but can be discussed in any other business if any member wishes to bring them up.

Emails received, e.g. on ecclesfield.conservation@gmail.com

·         Sheffield City Council have “alerted” us that they are again consulting on their Ward Priorities.

Information watch

• Sheffield City Council have revamped their web site, including
• a new reporting page at https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/report . Standard reports include potholes, missed bin collections, fly-tipping, street lights, noise, hygiene, planning infringements, and Council housing.
• There are also a large number of Streets Ahead Contract documents, and a map showing Stocks Hill, St. Marys Lane, Yew Lane, and High Street to be targeted in 2017.
• A page on managing trees.
• Our Chief Constable, Stephen Watson has a list of Roadshows in Sheffield and District.
• Ecclesfield should benefit from the forthcoming Upper Blackburn Brook flood prevention measures.
• Anybody in Ecclesfield offered 25,000 litres of beer, needs to look out!
• The next reminiscence session is in Ecclesfield Library, on Wednesday 26^th March, at 15:00.

 

Issues from previous minutes

If any members can help, or want to bring any of the following up for any other reason, they can do so in any other business.

 

*     Our on-line archive needs quite a bit of work to get going - perhaps as a window to our physical archive.

 

*     Designs for the pop-up banners are still in progress.

*      We have a fireproof trunk for storing archive material. Members might prefer a more generally accessible location if one can be found [As well as perhaps other things such as our Gazebo].

 

*      We still have plans to survey major trees within the Conservation Area.

 

*      We are still encouraging Sheffield City Council to proceed with their project to get their alcohol licensing system on-line so that everybody can see the opening times etc. which apply to each of the premises in the area. We are continuing to check their manual list of licence applications, but our monthly meetings and downloads miss some of them.

 

 

New planning applications

The following planning applications were found by searching for Ward = “East Ecclesfield”, Parish = Ecclesfield Parish Council”, postcodes S35 9?? and S35 1TE, validated from 30^th Jan 2017 - 27^th  Mar 2017.

[The contents of brackets and italics are my interpretation - usually made after only briefly scanning the documents. If you want more information, please note that I have had problems with the links to some of the planning applications, and had to remove their underlining. However, you should always be able to search for the Ref. No on Sheffield city council’s planning web site.]
