Purton Parish Council
GULLEY MANAGEMENT
In order to ease the flow of water during the wetter months, we would like to ask residents who have gullies near their properties to monitor them and advise when they need clearing.
As you can imagine we have 100s within Purton and to keep them monitored would be impossible, so any help by the community would be welcomed.
If you are unsure if there are any in your area, we can advise.
Without support for the community in monitoring and advising that they need clearing we cannot ensure the free flow and hopefully reduce flooding and help control water management.
Please contact the Parish Council Office if you would like to help. 01793 771066.

PURTON PARISH COUNCIL - 2019/20 PRECEPT
The Parish Council have set the precept for 2019/20 at £299,416.55 which equates to a 10% increase on last years figures. The Council has considered several large projects within the Parish and deemed them important for the future sustainability of the services to this village and therefore have budgeted to commence during 2019/20. The Council appreciates this is a substantial increase however, reduced increases over the last 10 years, of 2% and less, have reduced the availability of funds and reserves to the Council and we are now in a position whereby in order to achieve the works required the increase this year will be made. It is anticipated that this will be the only increase of this level for the following years, however this is all dependant on the needs of the parish.
All Town and Parish Councils must consider funding their future projects through Precept as funding from other sources is limited and restricted to priority classification and shared between 13 parishes which includes Bradon, Broad Town, Clyffe Pypard, Cricklade, Latton, Lydiard Millicent, Lydiard Tregoze, Lyneham and Bradon Stoke.
Below is a list of the main Projects the Council are undertaking, however this list isn’t exhaustive as the Council are continuing the management, repair and enhancement of all their play parks along with the Cemetery and the newly acquired and anticipated future Burial land on Church End. When the Parish Council determines its projects and the cost, they take into consideration the current facilities available, the impact of change to the community and the sustainability of these projects going forward.
New Offices
As many residents will be aware, a review of the current status and viability of the Purton Institute and Village Hall Charity is currently being undertaken.The Parish Council pays rent for the office space within this building.The Institute building and Village Hall both requires extensive maintenance repair work and the offices are currently too small for the councils expanding needs, are not DDA compliant for visitors and with potential devolution of more services from the Unitary Council, the Parish Council have taken the decision to source alternative accommodation.
The land currently owned by the Parish Council in Reids Piece (known as the former youth club) is being considered for redevelopment into office and grounds work space (the Council also pays rent for workshop space at the Village Centre). The Council will seek a loan for the build of the project, which will equate to a similar yearly rental cost currently paid for two buildings, however, a contingency and internal furnishing budget has been set within the 2019/20 precept of £60,000.
Play Park Refurbishment
The area known as Venture Play Park, Dogridge will also be undergoing a revamp with a proposed budget of £60,000 being set aside.This is the last of the three play parks that require refurbishment at this stage and the investment would give equal standards of high spec equipment throughout the village for all to use.We are also looking to secure this space as a Parish Council asset rather than under Wiltshire Council ownership.
Highway/Road Safety Issues
The Parish Council are funding a large proportion of the costs required for three main highways projects within Purton which includes Station/Widham Road traffic calming/lineage scheme, Crosslanes Junction, temporary road closure and the Triangle, Station Road to aid the transition of lorries coming into the village and supplying the Co-op shop with goods. The Council are also looking at a new road crossing for safer child transition to schools along Church Street, bus lane marking to stop cars parking by the existing road crossing on the High Street, plus smaller lineage schemes.All of these works plus the minor amendments already in the budget will add considerably to the fund requirements for the next financial year (approximately £20,000).We may be able to carry out more works than planned if future development is carried out within Purton and we benefit from the Community Infrastructure Level (CIL) which will be due to the Parish on part completion.
CCTV at Purton Village Hall
Due to anti social behaviour the Council have precepted for the installation of a CCTV system at the Village Hall. This scheme will only go ahead if the Charity Review deems the building sustainable, however we have budgeted for this in 2019/20 (£2500).
Youth Club Provision
The Council have agreed, due to the positive impact of the youth club services being offered at the Village Hall, to continue for another year.This cost is met solely through precept as we are not eligible for grant funding for this service.This service is for the payment of the youth workers and also the hire of the Village Hall from the charity to hold the activities (£7,750).
Purton Institute Clock
The Clock Tower which is housed within the Institute Charity building but managed and maintenance by the Parish Council, has been manually wound since its creation, however, due to changing legislation, health and safety concerns over accessibility it has been agreed to mechanicalize the system. This project has been budgeted for however, no works will commence until after the review of the Purton Institute and Village Hall Charity being carried out.
The Parish Council have also budgeted for smaller projects which will include, a new Finger Post Sign on Church End, continuation of the project of “Making Purton Dementia Friendly”, training and support for all staff and councillors alike, memorial tribute and verge enhancements at Church Street to name but a few, plus the continued maintenance and repair of all areas under our remit.
The Parish Council holds regular Committee meetings and residents are able to attend and ask questions during Public Recess. The meeting schedule is available on our website, agendas are posted on our website and also Parish noticeboards.
We also hold a regular Councillor Surgery session, the next being Saturday 9th February 2019 at 10am at the PIPS Community Café on Station Road.
The Council Offices are also open Monday to Thursday 9-5pm and Friday 9-4pm should anyone wish to speak to the Clerk on any matter under our remit.
Please do not hesitate to contact our offices should you require more information.

JOINT WORKING REVIEW MEETING – Safer Access to Schools
Held at Purton Village Hall on Monday 15th October 2018
Joint Working Group :
St Marys School, Bradon Forest School, Peardrop Preschool, Purton Parish Council, residents of the Peak, Wiltshire Council, Wiltshire Police and Greensquare
A huge thank you to the parents/carers who have changed their parking to the safer designated spaces to take the children into school. We have seen a significant increase in the usage of these areas and this shows great commitment from those who wish to keep not only theirs but all children safe. Thank you.
The schools have given their full support and communicated to all asking consideration to be given to making the area safer and using the alternative parking spaces. This will be an ongoing action to encourage all drivers to consider the safety of those accessing the schools.
It was agreed to work together during the National Road Safety week commence on Monday 19th November carrying out high viz presence checks at the school entrance. Children will be also be given clear road safety guidance on how to stay safe when entering and leaving the schools which will also include how they travel to and from school.
The joint working group will continue to work on innovative ways to educate those who do not understand why their actions are risking the safety of others, via video, photographs and their child’s perception.
The working party will also be working with Greensquare looking at options for ceasing parking on the pavements and grassed verges along the Peak and associated areas.
The Parish Council is progressing through the Community Area Transport Group (CATG) a request to look at installing a crossing on Church Street to aid the transition from one of the preferred safe parking places to the footpath that leads to the schools.
Please consider your actions as parents/carers when taking children to school. Keep our children safe.
TRAFFIC AND SAFETY RELATING TO ST MARYS/BRADON FOREST SCHOOLS AND SURROUNDING AREAS
PRESS RELEASE
Purton Parish Council/Wiltshire Council/Wiltshire Police/St Marys School/Bradon Forest School/Residents
An “invite” only meeting was held on Monday 16th July 2018 with a defined group of people as detailed above to work on issues relating to the safety and traffic at both schools around the College Road/Reids Piece and The Peak areas.
The meeting was well attended and received by all and although no definitive single answer resolution was found the following items were agreed to be carried out and addressed as the first phase of joint working.
A map, produced by the Parish Council, highlighting safe, easy access parking for those who have to drive their children to school to be produced with footpaths and clear instructions – given to all parents/carers via the schools as part of their welcome packs and newsletters
The residents to continue their petition to go to Wiltshire Council to ensure that when the ANPR devices are sourced the Peak and associated areas in Purton are considered
The Police will aid with the sourcing of yellow “POLICE NO PARKING” cones for use along the Peak at core times
A questionnaire/survey to be placed on the Parish Council website asking why parents drive and not use the allocated safe parking spaces and any other associated valuable statistical information we can gain to understand the logistics behind the parking issues – link to then be sent to the schools for newsletters/websites etc
Requests to all staff members/volunteers at both schools to park within the school boundaries and not on the highways – this would only be a request as not enforceable but would then leave valuable parking free for those living in the areas and not cause issues at peak times (both schools have stated there is sufficient parking for all staff within their grounds)
Liaison with Greensquare regarding options for stopping parking on the grass verges
High Viz presence on select days along the Peak, Reids Piece to ask why parents are not using the safer parking routes and issue those who may not know where to park safely the maps and associated information – Led by Parish Council with support from all the above bodies when available
Requests for regular enforcement agencies to visit the sites at peak times and ticket those illegally parked
Police to, when resources are available, monitor the areas at core times and enforce parking tickets and give “friendly advice”
Both schools to work on their Travel Plans/Safer Routes to School as a matter of urgency to ensure they are in place before we start to apply for any funding options
Consider options of signage to state “no parking on grassed areas”, “parking for schools” etc – longer term option via the Royal Wootton Bassett and Cricklade Area Board grants
“Phone APP” options to be circulated to all parents/carers in newsletter for car sharing features – Parish Council to source information and share
It is appreciated that schools are due to disperse for the summer term, however the new intake and return will be addressed through social media, newsletters and direct school contact.
Alternative suggestions were made during this meeting which included a new road and parking, use of the land at Reids Piece owned by the Parish Council, closing The Peak and associated roads during school times and all these were considered unfeasible at this point in time and to try the above options first.
A review meeting will be arranged with the above parties once the actions are carried out and the feedback received.
The clear message from all parties was that if you live in the Village please walk your children to school wherever possible and if you have to park, please use the designated areas of safe parking.

TRUSTEES OF PURTON INSTITUTE AND VILLAGE HALL, PURTON WAR MEMORIAL AND VILLAGE CENTRE AND PLAY CLOSE CHARITIES Updated 12th April 2018
PRESS STATEMENT
The Trustees of Purton Institute and Village Hall, Purton War Memorial and Village Centre and Play Close Charities, have agreed to review all their services to ensure the longevity and continuing sustainability of the three charities.
This will involve a12-18 month project which will include a review of usage including hire figures, prices and services; review of service providers and costings; staffing; lease agreements and tenancies this is to ensure that the charity is not reliant on grant donations from the Parish Council and becomes, in the main part, self-sufficient.
Currently the Parish Council donates funds to the Charities each year to ensure their continued existence, however, as more and more services are levied on the Council from Central Government budget cuts, their funding strategy and fiscal policies will also need to be re-assessed to ensure they are providing the necessary services and best value they can to all residents.
In the coming months questionnaires and polls will be generated through as many media outlets as possible with a view to gaining insight into why our facilities are not utilised and what the view of residents are. This may mean perhaps a public meeting where parishioners can air their views and promote new ideas.
Please be assured that the charities are not in any way financially destitute however at the point of writing, this is only maintained by support through donations from the Parish Council, not through usage of the facilities themselves, the published accounts whilst accurate, are not a true reflection as they include Parish Council Grants, a more definitive answer is shown in the management accounts.
As any person, organisation or corporate body will appreciate, donations cannot form the best part of a viable substantive service as eventually this will cease. We have to source, change and realise other ways in which to promote, use and maintain these wonderful facilities.
This action has been taken in advance of critical problems to streamline the charities, ensure their long term future and offer the best facilities to the Parish whilst being financially self-sufficient. The decline needs to be addressed now before the situation deteriorates further which is why this has been highlighted and this process started.
Regular updates will be given wherever possible.

WET WEATHER AND GULLY EMPTYING
With the advent of autumn we will inevitably see wetter weather and a greater risk of flooding. Wiltshire Council is reassuring residents it is doing all it can to be ready for any adverse weather. The Council has doubled from three to six, the number of gully tankers emptying road gullies, empting all the gullies on the A roads at least once by the end of December, and all the B.C and unclassified gullies being emptied by the end of March 2015. Wiltshire Council will continue to empty road gullies following heavy down pours when gullies get blocked by soil and detritus washed into the systems from adjacent fields. The Council understands the damage and distress caused by flooding and works with the local communities through the Operational Working Groups on improving drainage and on flood alleviation schemes. Whilst the Council does do all it can to alleviate flooding we do encourage residents to look at their properties with a view to considering large volumes of water impacts. This would include ensuring private gullies are clear and empty, that water flow systems are not obstructed and being prepared for flood prevention, such as having sandbags ready. If residents thinks a gully is blocked superficially, with leaves or grass, they can with care on highway, clear it themsleves. If a blockage is not easy to clear it can be reported to Wiltshire Council by telephone on 0300 456 0105 or on line at www.wiltshire.gov.uk/mywilts or using MyWilts app on a smart phone, where you will receive updates.
COMMUNITY SPEED WATCH
The CSW or Community Speed Watch began monitoring traffic along The Fox. More and more traffic now use The Fox as a through route from Purton into Swindon, and with this has come a noticeable increase in speed. The role of the CSW is to monitor traffic and report any speeding vehicles to the police who will then take appropriate action. On average there were over 118 vehicles per hour, of these 5.5% were travelling at a speed in excess of 36mph with the fastest travelling over 45mph. Over 13% were travelling between 31mph and 35mph. This means that nearly 1 vehicle in 5 was technically speeding. The role of the CSW is not to be vigilante but by our presence slow traffic down. If you would like to volunteer please telephone 01793 771066 or email deborah.lawrence@purtonparishcouncil.gov.uk.
