The festive season sees a change in days of the grey bin, blue-lidded bin and green bin collections following Christmas Day and Boxing Day until 18 January (listed in your refuse and recycling leaflet delivered in March 2009 with Council Tax bills or visit http://www.stratford.gov.uk/) Contact: Chris Dobson, Waste and Recycling Officer on 01789 260885 Day of Collection Monday 21 December – Stays the same Tuesday 22 December – Stays the same Wednesday 23 December – Stays the same Thursday 24 December – Stays the same Friday 25 December collected: Tuesday 29 December Monday 28 December collected: Wednesday 30 December Tuesday 29 December collected: Thursday 31 December Wednesday 30 December collected: Saturday 2 January Thursday 31 December collected: Monday 4 January Friday 1 January collected: Tuesday 5 January Monday 4 January collected: Wednesday 6 January Tuesday 5 January collected: Thursday 7 January Wednesday 6 January collected: Friday 8 January Thursday 7 January collected: Saturday 9 January Friday 8 January collected: Monday 11 January Monday 11 January collected: Tuesday 12 January Tuesday 12 January collected: Wednesday 13 January Wednesday 13 January collected: Thursday 14 January Thursday 14 January collected: Friday 15 January Friday 15 January collected: Saturday 16 January The week commencing Monday 18 January collections will return to normal. And remember since December you can now recycle more in your recycling bin. If you find that your blue-lidded bin is full you may put out additional recycling in a box next to your bin. Also with all the extra food and Christmas leftovers remember this can also be put in your green bin for composting as an alternative to putting it in your grey bin, allowing you a weekly collection of kitchen waste. This can be wrapped in newspaper but not in a plastic bag. Christmas tree recycling Christmas Trees can be put in your green bin for collection. They should be cut up if necessary so that they fit in the bin with the lid closed. They can also be taken to the Warwickshire County Council Household Waste Recycling Centres in the District at Burton Farm, Wellesbourne, Shipston-on-Stour and Stockton. You can also use the County Council’s woodchipping service to shred them. Christmas Cards can be recycled in your blue-lidded wheelie bin or taken to most supermarkets or recycling centres. The Woodland Trust is holding a Christmas Card recycling scheme at WHSmith and Marks and Spencers for more information visit http://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/en/take-part/recycle/cards/pages/christmas.aspx Prepare for Christmas: Switch to LED Christmas lights. Using these rather than traditional Christmas lights will cost you six times less to run.

7. Questions and comments from the public
1. A number of villagers had complained that the cherry tree which hung
over the pavement at the Red Lion had been removed without permission. The Clerk had subsequently informed the landlord that the pub was in the conservation area and therefore all tree work was the subject of the relevant planning consent. The landlord was very apologetic about this removal and a new tree is to be planted as a replacement. 2. Small laurels have been planted along the highways land at number 1 Red
Lodge which contravenes planning. These will affect the summer mowing and, in time the visibility at the junction. The Clerk will liaise with the Highways Department. page
378 3. Mr Evans asked if a notice could be put in Centrepoint reminding
residents about the need for approval for tree works, and the need for keeping the highways clear of planting. The Clerk agreed to undertake this. 4. Mr Evans asked what the poles on the A44 were for. The Clerk had
already reported that these are intended for speed/slow down lights. 5. Mr Evans reported that the Parish notice board needs re- varnishing.
The Clerk reported that the board needs replacing as it is extremely difficult to get pins in, the hinges have already been repaired, and the timber is wet through at some points. Cllr Brandreth reported that the notice board is failing. The Chairman will look into this. 6. Mrs Fitch thanked the Highways Department for the tarmac hump installed
at Redlands Row. 8. Cemetery Entrance Progress
Kevin Perkins will be starting the works on 30th
November. The earth spoil will be put on the verge outside Jordans Orchard in order to even this area for mowing next summer. This area will need re- seeding. 9. Flooding Prevention/Road Repairs
Some initial work has been done at Redlands Corner.
The sign at the top of Oakham Road and the school sign at Kitebrook have
still not been replaced. The Clerk will follow this up. 10. Playground report
The top bough of one of the horse chestnut trees came down in the winds
the previous weekend, smashing the bench provided by the family of Mr & Mrs Coleman. The Clerk will contact the insurers. Reed College had previously been contacted about the state of the trees but no action had been taken. The Clerk will try to find the whereabouts of the plaque from the bench. 11. Half Year Accounts
The accounts were discussed by Councillors. There had not been a lot of
movement. Income was from the precept payments and cemetery income. The usual expenditure was for salary, cemetery maintenance, broadband,
audit fee and insurance. Mr Bamford asked how much page 379
money the Parish Council had in the funds. The Clerk reported that this was approximately £13,500 of which almost £5000 was due for works at the new cemetery entrance and £3,200 was grant money being held towards the work at Redlands Corner. 12. Approval of expenditure *Paid

15. Other Business
1. Elections 2010 –
The Parish Council is due for re-election in May 2010. If uncontested the election costs will be £100. If contested the costs will be £575.52. The Clerk queried how this amount was to be budgeted for when the precept was discussed in page 380 January. After some discussion it was agreed that the budget should include the £100. The Clerk would also prepare a budget to include 50% of the £575.52 for the Parish Council to compare. 2. Mr Bamford reported that some cars parked outside the cottages in
Oakham Road had been hit. 3. Mr Bamford asked if the quarry could be contacted and asked to trim the
hedge along the bend. The Clerk would write to them. 4. Mrs Crump remarked on the state of the pavements and road in respect of
fallen leaves. The state of the village road is dangerous for walkers. Cllr Saint believed there was provision for street cleaning, although villagers were of the opinion this is not happening in the village. A shrub from one of the gardens in Brewery Row is overhanging the
pavement, as is foliage along Pool Close. The Clerk will write to the property owners regarding the shrubbery and
contact Warwickshire CC regarding the state of the road. 5. Mrs Fitch asked if people could be urged to hide ladders in order to
dissuade opportunistic break-ins. This will be included to the flyer in Centrepoint. 6. Mrs Crump asked if a bus shelter could be provided. The Clerk will
enquire about planning regulations and costs. 7. Cllr Gray reported that the recycling collection has been so successful
that in future it will include plastic meat trays and yoghurt pots. 8. Cllr Saint remarked that our village appears to have the same problems
and issues as other areas. The costs of adult social care is met from Council Tax and is making more and more demands on resources. He has been very involved with Fire Services cutback proposals. However, he is always available if the need arises. 9. Mrs Crump asked what could be done about the height of the laurel hedge
along Washbrook House. The Clerk replied the Mr & Mrs McKerron had been written to regarding this and other trees. 10. Cllr Moorman asked that items for the website be sent direct to her
rather than waiting for Centrepoint to be printed. The meeting closed at 7.55 pm
