2023/26

 Councillor and Clerk’s Report

Cllr  Barrett had provided a written report which had been circulated . It was welcomed and considered most informative.

The following points were raised:-

RAF Scampton

Following the service of a Temporary Stop Notice by West Lindsey District Council on The Home Office the actions taken were not sufficient. Therefore, a Stop Notice and Enforcement Notice had been served. It was not clear if this had stopped further work on site. The court hearing would be the final decision maker. It was to go before a planning judge.

The Clerk confirmed that a letter had been sent to The Home Office from Riseholme Parish Council and a reply received which had been circulated.

Potholes

Potholes should be referred by Fixmystreet . Those in the dip on Riseholme Lane were thought to be potentially on private land not on highway.

Flytipping

The Clerk confirmed that she had reported fly tipping and it was waiting to be collected. Cllr Brown would refer the matter to West Lindsey District Council as it looked like an increasing problem.

Clerk Report

The Clerk reported that there had been a Notice on the field opposite St Georges Lane which was actually in Burton Parish. The Notice was  under The Highways Act 1980 s31(6) and Commons Act 2006 S15A(1). A full reply had been received from Lincolnshire County Council and it was not considered by the Parish Council that any further action could be taken at this time

University

Matt Bagley report:-

He had invited the meeting to Lawress Hall so the facilities could be seen. The Parish Council thanked Matt and agreed the facilities were impressive.

The University had invested extensively in the building and it was part of the University Masterplan. 750 staff used the building on a flexible working system releasing teaching space at The Brayford Campus. The project would continue to refurbish the Conference Facilities which would provide a revenue stream.

Riseholme Campus was now seen as the jewel in the University Crown. Although it was taking time further positive changes would happen to upgrade the site and make it fit for purpose.

The Parish Council welcomed the use of the site in this manner which had always been their intention and were pleased that their  previous actions had offered this opportunity to Lincoln University.

The University was thriving with a positive intake this year and anticipated for next year. The University attracted students from all over the world. It currently had 18,500 students.

AI and robotic development as well as agri tech and meditech were leading the way.

 Future meetings would be at Riseholme Conference Centre.
