| 1 | Apologies – None | |
| 2 | To sign the Minutes of the Annual Parish meeting held 11th April 2019 – RESOLVED to approve and sign the minutes of the last Annual Parish meeting as a true and accurate record. | |
| 3 | Presentation from David Kemp, Commercial Director, Moorland & City Railways Ltd (20 mins) regarding the Newcastle Railway Project bid -see route plan and press release David Kemp attended the meeting and provided a short presentation on the bid to carry out a feasibility study to provide a single-track railway which would follow the original line to connect the town and also to HS2 line. The main objective would be to give the town a regional presence with other large cities. It will also improve the opportunities to develop jobs and links with the University. DK stated that it was more of an idea [to be explored] than a proposal. The town is the second largest in England without its own railway station. The Department of Transport Funding for Restoring Railway Lines started in 2020. This was the No3 call and there was a possibility of re-instating most of the railway westward from Newcastle under Lyme to the West Coast Main Line. However, it is physically impossible to do all of this now so it is better to consider what there is.
To put Newcastle under Lyme back on the railway map there are various options and possibilities. Use the original line as far as Madeley. The original branch line did not connect with the West Coast Line. There are 2 tunnels [as far as the M6]. There is an extensive footpath network in Newcastle [the Mineral Line or Newcastle Greenway] and the surfaces as good as they could be. The connection from Newcastle to Stoke on Trent is a short distance but previous tunnels have been filled in and new roads built. An engineering assessment of this section estimated it would cost hundreds of millions. The idea will look at opportunities for extending new services north to Manchester via Crewe and south to Birmingham. To take up partnerships and ultimately connect up to the HS2, a four track fast line. Not easy but desirable. The opportunities for a presence by developing new services that were not available at present. The local facility would be two miles from the town centre but there are other options..[shuttle] bus service including development of electrical vehicles. The University Science Park is close by. Part of the consideration will be job creation and growth in the University Corridor. There is potential for freight as well as passenger services to explore. Borough Cllr A Rout stated that a railway line so close to so many homes would appear to be undesirable and she was not in favour in principle. AR noted that 100s of properties would be affected and the value of houses could be impacted upon. AR requested that this was minuted. Mr Chris Spence asked whether it was better to improve connections to Stoke Station rather than branch out to the west. DK stated that a connection to Stoke on Trent does not seem to be feasible because of the tunneling necessary. Mr Matt Melvin noted that he had experience in tunneling and engineering and was skeptical. He felt that electric vehicles which could be used to take people to the nearest main stations were a more sustainable option. Contact details to be put on the website for David Kemp for residents to raise questions directly. Mr Kemp was thanked for his attendance. |

| 4 | Public Open Forum – No members were present. | |
| 5 | Annual report – Chair – HA provided the attached Chair’s report. Which was noted and agreed, and the Chair was thanked for his report. |

Silverdale Parish Council 8 April 2021
Chair’s Annual Report 2021
Pandemic 2020-21
We offer our condolences to residents who have lost family members or suffered illnesses either directly due to Covid 19 or indirectly from the disruption to health services. It is recognised that our community is particularly vulnerable. Some of these impacts will continue for the foreseeable future.
We urge for a full public enquiry at national level and we would want to learn more about specific local impacts. The wider social and economic impact of mitigation has been very deep with so much of our community and working lives frozen during waves of infection and lockdowns. We have nominated the magnificent contribution made by volunteers attached to Silverdale Methodist Church in their support of local families with educational craft sessions and food packs through the Vice Lord-Lieutenant of Staffordshire scheme. We have funded a number of organisations during this year:
Alice Charity
Methodist Church
Newcastle Foodbank
Much remains to be done to re-set services when clubs, community centres, our library and other facilities resume. In May Silverdale Council will return to ‘normal’ meetings in the community having completed a year of zoom conferences.
Silverdale Budget
We recognised restrictions imposed during the pandemic created serous financial difficulties for residents. Silverdale PC adopted a nil increase in the Precept for 2021/22 (£18.98 per Band D property).
Parish Clerk
We thank Clare Withington our parish clerk, who has resigned for family reasons after over 5 years’ service. She has been a terrific administrator and in adjusting to remote meetings, helped residents to access emergency services and keep councillors informed of frequent changes necessary for safe working and many new procedures. We wish her well in the future and hope she stays in contact with Silverdale after leaving us.
Miner’s Tribute Restoration Project
On Dec 13 Plowden & Smith reinstated the wagon and bronze statue to the satisfaction of our conservators and Heritage Lottery Fund signed off the monument restoration. We thank the team involved but we had to forgo an unveiling event. A full feature article by Mervyn Edwards in the Sentinel and a small display at the Tribute marked the completion and we look forward to re-lighting the monument in the scheme approved for a grant by Ibstocks.
The community engagement element also progressed until the lockdowns. Performances postponed and replacement activity were agreed in the March meeting with November 2021 as the final project end date. The postponed lantern parade is now due on Saturday 30 October 2021 during the Autumn half-term and the end of BST when clocks go back an hour. Other events are covered in consultant Sarah Bonham’s update elsewhere in the agenda.
Skateboard and Scooter Ramp Project
Cllr Amelia Rout led the group (NBC with Western Communities LAP) to secure funding. Progress on the scheme including tendering was delayed by the pandemic, but a start is expected in April or May.
Air Quality and Landfill Odour
Walley’s Quarry odour was the most serious individual complaint problem. The Environment Agency, the main regulator had issued a new permit on 30 October 2020. Odour complaints erupted after Red Industries increased the amount of waste deposited. Silverdale PC made a formal complaint to the Environment Agency about that decision. The Agency has responded to our complaint but we were not satisfied and so we have challenged their decisions through our MP to take that criticism to the Parliamentary Ombudsman. An Ombudsman’s enquiry is going to take time but the regulation of the landfill is complex. That investigation will help find out why the landfill dust and odour controls do not work properly.
In March 2021, the borough council published the findings of their enquiry under the Scrutiny Committee, after taking evidence from all parties including evidence from Silverdale Parish Council and Stop the Stink. Both the Silverdale borough councillors were involved and ensured there was a voice for those who were subject to landfill smells and dust and other nuisance. The borough council had upped its game, re-started the Liaison Committee and resumed contact between all the regulators. The level of complaints is being properly recorded.
The scale of complaints became so large this spring that an extraordinary meeting of the full borough council on 18 March supported a decisive vote to cease landfill operations. However the operator took matters into their own hands by stopping operations on the previous weekend.
The Environment Agency had been pressured into setting up another air quality monitoring unit -the third one since 2018- so there is now a mobile sensor recording emissions of gases and dust particles. These are independent scientific reports but there is considerable skepticism on how valid they are. Reading the science is important. It tells us how the air quality is assessed against World Health Organisation limits. But the bar for what is acceptable might be too high for the smells we experience. When published the air quality assessment will be contrasted with what we experienced. We have learnt that the odour affects most of Newcastle, but Silverdale is the source of most complaints.
On 9 March 2021, Aaron Bell introduced a Bill ‘to introduce a presumption against planning applications for new landfill sites liable to cause odorous emissions in built-up areas; to set limits for odorous emissions from landfill sites; to make provision for the payment of compensation by site operators to local residents when emissions exceed those limits; and for connected purposes.’ As a Private Member’s Bill it is not likely to become law. It should act as a catalyst for new legislation. We supported the principles but added a proviso for a greater ‘exclusion zone’ around landfills.
But at the end of March, despite Environment Agency enforcement notices, the operator still refused to accept responsibility for the record rise in odour reports citing ‘surface water contamination’. In addition there is no timetable yet for the resumption of landfill operation, so this issue is unresolved with even more questions outstanding. As the whole of urban Newcastle is affected the matter is now in the lap of councillors at borough and county level and MPs.
Flooding Risks
Water courses through the parish are a particular issue involving the County Council and landowners to keep courses clear. Funding from the County Lengthman’s scheme had been withdrawn so parish work is now funded from the precept. A consultant’s report for NBC in October 2019 showed there were parts of Silverdale with vulnerability. Progress in resolving some local flooding problems had been chased up by County Councillor Dave Jones. We found out that Highways set the bar very high for some important mitigation work; at least 10 household had to be effected within their homes and some areas prone to were judged ‘low priority’ flooding. More detailed investigation were requested in a report for the Newcastle Town Deal, but these survey requests had not been actioned by the Borough Council. In addition at the Park Road junction with Racecourse a dispute arose over the causes of surface water flowing into parishioner’s garden another matter pursued by Dave Jones.
Heritage Park Play Areas
Silverdale Parish Council opposed the plans by developer, David Wilson Homes to reduce the amount of play space below the original planning permission granted in 2007 and the issue is ongoing with Planning. During the lockdown anti-social behaviour in defiance of social distance guidelines has occurred. We have worked with local police and contractors to cordon off the play areas and discussed a proposal to change the barrel swing to a more appropriate swing for under-fives.
Newcastle under Lyme Borough Council Local Plan
At the turn of the year, the borough council abandoned the joint plan with Stoke on Trent Council, having been subject to many delays. In January NBC opted to launch a stand-alone local plan with a document due to be published in autumn 2021. The process started in 2016 and will take at least two further years to run.
Former Keele Golf Course Site and Save Our Green Spaces (SOGS)
A serious threat remains to the identity of the parish with development of the golf course site and the same issues face Silverdale as last year; a big suburb merging Silverdale with Keele with the loss of 80 hectares (one third of a square mile) of greenbelt. There’s no guarantee of infrastructure, such as new road or roundabout construction on the A525. Other issues, such as parking, public transport, school catchment and land drainage are all impacted as well as any development putting further pressure on our services, doctors, dentists and specialist retail.
As housing need numbers did not stack up, and future housing and employment demand is more uncertain following the economic and social effects of the pandemic, Silverdale Parish Council opposes the revised master plan.
Save Our Green Spaces (SOGS) campaign with a website, Facebook page and petition was set up to alert the wider population of Newcastle to the previous council plan to build over 1,000 houses on the former municipal golf course. The forum has been attended by both residents and parish councillors from Silverdale and with Keele PC and other groups and individuals it presents a united front to future plans to build there. SOGS wished to retain the space as a community asset to promote physical and wellbeing for local people and retain the openness of the green belt.
An application on behalf of Keele and Silverdale parish councils to register a community asset was rejected by the borough council, so it is clear the council still intends to re-draw the green belt boundary in order to enable a development on the former golf course.
Staffordshire County Council served a notice on 8 December 2020 under the Commons Act 2005 15(A) 1 on the former Keele Golf Course land. This notice, initiated by the borough council prevents adjoining owners declaring a village green on any part of the land. We established that there was no automatic appeal but a legal challenge would incur considerable legal expenses in the High Court with uncertain prospects of winning. However Silverdale PC will collaborate with Keele PC and SOGS to develop an alternative vision in considering ‘mixed recreation’: walking, cycling, horse riding, dog walking, etc. and to monitor changes taking place to prepare for the borough local plan announcements.
Additional Kissing Gates on Mineral Line
The installation of kissing gates and fencing at Station Road on the Mineral Line to prevent entry and exit of illegal motorbikes was completed.
PM Training Homeworks
Silverdale streets, verges and park and monument area need tidying; clearing litter, attention to verges and washing down signs among the works on order. The Homeworks Team from PMT Aspire Housing has started from early April to replace the services of Community Payback.
