Page 10 of 12
ACTION: Councillor Reynolds to contact the planning department and Councillor Allan Jones
Heritage Society:
RW reported that the Heritage Society had included activities all over the Parish during the year and
there had been visitors from all over the North West to the WW1 exhibition at Inglenook Farm. The
Heritage weekend had not been so well attended this year, but useful contacts had been made and a
profit of over £200.00, which was a bonus as it is not a fund-raising event.
The Heritage Society now has a Facebook page and work continues on the website. There is
concern over the loss of revenue from Indoor meetings and plans are in place to make these
meetings more social. A coffee morning is planned for 25 October 2014 and tickets are now on sale
for the Country & Western evening on 6 December 2014.
Items are being gathered for a Victorian display in December which the Chairman of the Parish
Council is opening and the Mayor will also be attending. Additionally, a display of recently found
items from metal detecting is being planned.
ACTION: The Clerk to create a link between the RHS Facebook page and the RPC website.
1st Responders:
MO informed the meeting that 3 new responders were currently in training.
5. Business Hub:
There was a discussion regarding the relationship between the CDC, the Parish Council and the
business Hub and the aims of each of these groups. It was agreed that as the groups have a
common purpose in the Village improvement scheme, it is very important that links are maintained
and that a good working association with the business hub is upheld.
ACTION: The Clerk to request an informal meeting between the Chairman and Vice Chairman +
another member of the Business Hub and the Chairman of the Parish Council, the Chairman of the
CDC and Councillor Sheedy.
6. Village Christmas Fayre:
Councillor Grice informed the meeting that plans are moving forward for this event and 25 stalls
have been booked so far. The cost of the stalls for businesses is £50.00 with a gazebo and £35.00
without. Stalls for Voluntary organisations are free. Whalley Avenue and Leyland Road will be
closed to traffic and the stalls will go as far as the Eagle & Child.
7. Rainford in Bloom:
Covered in Matters Arising.
8. Any Other Business:
1. RW asked why nothing had been done regarding the upgrading of the noticeboards
around the Parish. After a short discussion it was generally felt that replacing the boards
may be part of the Village Improvement Scheme. DW reminded the meeting that there
is a community noticeboard outside the Parish Church Hall. It was suggested that the
Councillors for the wards that have noticeboards should be responsible for keeping
them up to date.
ACTION: The Clerk to put a notice on each of the boards giving details of the
Councillors for that ward as a point of contact for displaying notices.
Page 11 of 12
2. RW asked why nothing had been done about sponsorship of a Christmas tree and lights
outside the Village Hall. Councillor Mussell informed the meeting that the CIF has
bought additional coloured lights in the tree on the lawn that is usually lit up at
Christmas. The lights will be switched on 17 November 2014. Furthermore, there will
be lights around the lamp posts in the centre of the Village. The lights will be on all day
as they have very low energy bulbs.
3. RW stated that the trees on the lawn in front of the Village Hall obscured the building
and should be removed.
ACTION: Councillor Mussell to contact St Helens Council regarding the status of the
trees.
4. AB informed the meeting that Fly grazing is becoming an increasing problem in the
North West. A private member’s bill is currently before parliament to give land owners
the right to remove animals that have been left on their property. She encouraged
everyone to write to their MP asking him to support the bill.
ACTION: The Clerk to put this information on the website.
5. Councillor Sheedy proposed a vote of thanks to Councillor Reynolds for running the
Rainford 10k in support of the Chairman’s charities. Councillor Reynolds was pleased to
report that he had completed the race 5 minutes faster this year.
6. Councillor Sheedy asked what had happened to the Round Table in Rainford and
whether anything could be done to revive it. Councillor Wesley informed the meeting
that there remained a very active 41 Club in Rainford, but recent attempts to restart the
Round Table had been unsuccessful.
ACTION: Councillor Sheedy to contact Keith Davenport who is the current Chairman if
the 41 Club and invite him to attend the next CDC meeting and talk about the
activities of the 41 Club.
7. Councillor Mussell expressed congratulations to Vicky (the Administration Assistant)
and the bar staff for the excellent service provided at the Las Vegas Charity event.
8. Councillor Mussell suggested that there should be a ‘Rainford Village Hall’ sign on the
front of the building.
ACTION: Councillor Reynolds will discuss this with the planners.
9. The Chairman reminded those present about the Civic Service at Corpus Christi on
Sunday 12 October 2014 and the Civic Ball on 1 November 2014, along with other
upcoming dates.
10. The Chairman requested that in future members of the committee should contact the
Clerk in advance of the meeting to put matters they wished to discuss as agenda items
rather than raising them under AOB.
