Agenda for May Parish Council Meeting

Dear Blogger,

Message from Lydia Bardsley, Parish Clerk

Ruyton XI Towns Annual Council Meeting.

 TUESDAY 2nd MAY, 6.30pm

to be held in VICTORIA ROOM.

The next meeting is the Annuall Council Meeting. The agenda is attached and can also be found on the Council's agenda and minutes page of the website, and the draft April minutes are linked within the agenda. Amongst other items, we will be electing the Chairman and Vicechairman, approving the Annual Return and Internal audit Report for 2022-23, considering applications for the final vacant seat on the Council, and considering insurance estimates for 2023-24. There is also a request for funding from the Village Hall Committee, a planning application (click the weblinks in agenda for full details), and arrangements for the Annual Parish Meeting (also known as the Meeting of electors), which is likely to be held sometime in the w/c 22nd May. 

Protect your valuables from thieves: As as reminder, the Parish Council still some free Smartwater kits left in stock, these protect your valuables from would-be thieves. If you moved to the village in the last 2 years and did not get a kit in the first distribution wave (or if you did get one but have lost it), please contact the Council on 01691 674742 or parishclerk@ruytonxitownsparishcouncil.org.uk to request a free SmartWater kit.

If you have a kit but have not used it yet, we would urge you to use it to mark up your valuables and put the stickers on your windows. Each kit has a completely unique mix of Smartwater fluid which is clear but glows under UV light - this allows police to return stolen items to their rightful owners. Once valuables are marked up, the Smartwater should fluoresce for a number of years, however the kits we purchased back in 2020 do have a recommended "use by date", so the sooner they are used the better. The stickers are an important part of the kit as they act as a powerful deterrant for thieves, so make sure you place these somewhere visible and prominent.
