Minutes:
RESOLVED –
that the Minutes of the previous meeting held on 27 July 2022 be
confirmed as a correct record.
Matters arising
–
1.
John Atkinson (Tree Bristol) has responded to
outstanding queries about Tree pits costs and clarification about
the replacement regime in the event of tree planting
failure.
2.
Tree pit costs: The 8 sites that require new pits
engineering, (3 on St Johns Lane and 5 on Ravenhill Road), do have
this cost included in the application. We’re confirming the
price for engineered pits with our new Civil Engineering contractor
- Colas - but it’s likely to be cheaper than the previous ETM
price.
3.
Any planting is ‘guaranteed’ for two
years, not two months. If the tree fails within the first two years we replace for free and re-start the
maintenance and watering programme. This continues on the
replacement tree. The only exception to this is where the tree
fails through vandalism / intentional damage. In this case we only
replace once.
4.
Tree officer confirmed that planting of trees was
guaranteed for two years, and trees would be replaced if they
failed within a two-year period.

Report of Community Resource Manager PDF 62 KB
Additional documents:
Minutes:
The Community Resources Manager
(CRM) introduced the report and highlighted specific points for
members information.
Discussion took place and main
points raised were -
- Progress updates are
published every six months on previous schemes approved by the Area
Committee. The latest was published in August 2022. The next will
be published in February 2023.
- Stage 1 Outline
Project Proposals had been chosen by ward councillors in early
2022, the AC5 meeting in July 2022 selected those that should go
forward as full proposals, and these were now set out in the report
for today’s meeting for discussion and decision.
- Ashton Vale new play
area: One issue outstanding from last meeting was the exploration
of the option of using one of the pitches at Ashton Vale Playing
Fields for a new children’s play area. Communication have
happened with Parson Street Old Boys Club, which still has 8 years
left in their lease for the use of the football pitches, regarding
possibility of using a pitch. It was thought the club was reluctant
to pursue this due to waterlogging of the pitch in winter and that
they use both pitches. Agreed that representatives of the club be
approached for a meeting to explore further. The
£58,603 S106
funding remaining from the £70k allocated for
children’s play in Ashton Vale is still available to support
a play area. Noted that Ashton Vale Community Centre are very
unlikely to be in a position to return the £11,397 spent by
Parks on fencing at the centre to support installation of the play
equipment at the Centre.
AGREED
- It was suggested that
future explorations on finding a site for children’s play in
Ashton Vale take place outside of this meeting. Councillor Bradshaw
raised the offer that the contractor who is delivering the Longmoor
site has made to include a play area in that site as a potential
resolution of the local demand for play provision.
- A discussion took
place about the Ashton Vale Playing Fields footpath Proposal which
had suggested to be delivered at the same time as the play are at
the Fields. It was agreed that it should be considered as a
distinct proposal in its own right in the light of the uncertainty
that the Playing Fields could be the site of play provision.
This
approach was AGREED.
- At this point of the
meeting Councillor Tony Dyer proposed that the list of applications
be approved noting that some might have to wait until the
£73k overcommitted funds became available.
- Members discussed
ratifying the projects now and making the spend next financial year
with the knowledge that considerable additional CIL funding is
going to be coming through over the next couple of
years.
- A request for
Wedmore Vale to be included on the list
now was not confirmed as it was prudent to not over commit the
budget until additional CIL funding of £500k became
available. AGREED that a meeting be held in the new year to
consider this project again.
