AFFORDABLE HOUSING NEEDS SURVEY: The Parish Council was aware that 65% of the respondents from the 2007 Parish Survey had indicated that there was a need for affordable housing. The District Council was in a position to proceed a step further with this request by conducting their own more detailed housing needs survey and consequently Laura Welch and Jacqueline Brookes were present to discuss this. The Chairman welcomed the two Strategic Housing Officers from SNC and invited them to take the floor. The officers gave some very interesting figures pertaining to Bugbrooke. There were 120 existing council properties and 276 households on SNC’s waiting list would like to live in Bugbrooke. Of these 68 cite Bugbrooke as their preferred village (41 already live in the village). In the last year, only 6 properties had become vacant. The average house price in Bugbrooke is £202,702 which is higher than the average for the region. Practical
discussions ensued about the timings and delivery of the survey and

rural communities had been anti-social behaviour, fear of crime and
speeding. PC Steve Horner & PCSO Charlotte Pearson had been present
and the next meeting would be arranged within three months with the other
8 parishes in the group. An offer was also made to assist Community Speed
Watch groups with the provision of a police officer who could issue

MINUTES: The minutes of the meeting held on 10th September were approved as a correct record and duly signed by the Chairman. REPORTS ON ISSUES PREVIOUSLY
RAISED: PC07/10/180
CANAL SIGNS:
(Previously minuted at PC07/7/136) These

minuted at PC07/9/160) South Northants Council had held the Swap

Clerk PC07/10/184
SNC YOUTH FUNDING:
(Previously minuted at PC07/9/169) Mr Curtis and the Clerk had met with Laurie Berruto, SNC on 25/09/07 and travelled to Brackley to view a youth shelter located adjacent to the sports centre. They had also met the local Police Community Support Officer and canvassed his views on the shelter. It was noted that there was significant litter around the shelter. The Clerk had obtained some additional brochures for shelters and SNC confirmed they were looking to spend around £16,000 on the shelter. Mr Curtis was not convinced that the shelter was right for Bugbrooke and indicated that he would prefer to go down the route of organisations opening up their buildings for the youth of the village a couple of evenings a week. He advised that the Football Club were already considering this option. The general consensus around the table was that there was currently nowhere suitable to site a youth shelter where it would not lead to increased nuisance and litter problems. RESOLVED: (i) To decline the offer of a youth shelter (ii) To report back on the results of the ‘open evenings’ at the Football Club ACTION: (i) Clerk (ii)

STREET LIGHTING: There were a few odd concrete columns dotted about the village. These would need replacing with steel columns in the final tranche of upgrading the columns. The Clerk was keen to undertake this in 2008, as if the scheme to underground some overhead cables went ahead in 2009, then there would be column costs for the PC associated with that scheme.
