The meeting received notes from the Cudworth, Monk Bretton, North East and Royston Ward Alliances held throughout July and August 2016.  The following updates were noted:-

Cudworth – Two brass band proms had been held and the acoustics in the Pocket Park were excellent.  Councillors are organising these events next year.  Planned future expenditure was outlined.

Monk Bretton – Three applications have been approved recently, in relation to the Friends of Carlton Park, the bowling club and to fund a booklet about Monk Bretton.  The Gala at Silverdale was a great success, particularly the fruit stall.  Thanks were expressed to all involved.  Over 4000 people attended.  It was highlighted that the ‘Knit and Natter’ group which runs on Tuesday morning was proving very successful.  A MacMillan coffee morning has recently been held.   

North East – Members were updated with regard to various projects in the community which had received Ward Alliance funds, including Shafton Parish Council, Milefield Community Farm, DIAL and funding for Christmas trees and lights. 

Royston – The Ward Alliance continues to support activities in the Ward, including the canal and gardening clubs.  Unfortunately some of the flowers on the bandstand have been vandalised.  Royston in Bloom and Royston Canal Club both won awards in the recent ‘Yorkshire in Bloom’ awards.  Summer events were very successful and planning for Christmas events is now underway. 

RESOLVED that the notes from the Ward Alliances be received.
