This meant that we were finally able to hold Village Day again, our biggest and best yet and also the Open Air Cinema. We were also able to hold our planned Jubilee celebrations including the Afternoon Tea in the War Memorial Hall and the Beacon Lighting on the Common. Alongside these key events our full range of Council events was able to continue including Christmas wreath making classes, the Spooky Trail, the Carving Quest following the waymarked nature trail and the Easter Craft Workshops to name but a few. We were also finally able to hold in person ceremonial events again including the annual Remembrance Service and the special Remembrance Service following the sad passing of Queen Elizabeth. The lifting of Covid restrictions meant that we could again hold our Council meetings face to face and this was much welcomed by Councillors and Officers alike. This was particularly important for those new Councillors that joined us following the elections in May 2022. That said, the ability to do things face to face didn’t mean we abandoned all those new ways of working that we developed during Covid. We have retained those that allow us to optimise the transaction of Parish business and deliver a full range of services to our Parishioners. I would like to thank the Clerk and the Office team for their continued flexibility and efforts in providing an outstanding service throughout yet another challenging year. The Parish Rangers have continued to protect the Common this past year as it continues to see elevated levels of use. Many of those people that discovered this wonderful asset during lockdown have clearly continued to frequent it. Parishioners and those from further afield, continue to use it to meet family and friends, walk their dogs, get their daily exercise and maintain their mental wellbeing. Most have been respectful of our precious local nature reserve but sadly we continue to see abuses too including illegal firework displays, abandoned rubbish, an increase in dog fouling and destruction of way markers. The Rangers have been at the forefront of dealing with this and I would like to thank them for all that they have done to continue safeguarding the Common. Alongside this they have continued to improve biodiversity on the Common and host a range of events like Mini Rangers and Christmas Wreath Making. I would also like to thank the Rangers for continuing to care for our beautiful Lawn Cemetery. Despite a significant increase in demand for burial and ashes plots this year, they have continued to maintain it in pristine condition undertaking restoration of the memorial benches and implementing several replanting schemes alongside the day to day maintenance of the grounds and preparation of the plots. Annual Report 2022/23 3 This post pandemic year has seen a continuation of the community spirit that emerged at the start of the pandemic. And it is for that reason we held the Community Champion Award again this year and the awarding of the Freedom of the Parish to a few worthy recipients. The redevelopment of the Cricket Pavilion was again a key focus for the Council this year and it was wonderful to see the Pavilion finally completed in the Autumn of 2022. It was the culmination of several years of collaboration between the Parish Council, the Cricket Club and Mission EmployAble and it was a truly historic moment when we finally got to hold the signing ceremony in November. It has been heart-warming to see the success of the charity café to date and how it has been embraced by the local community. We look forward to the resumption of cricket on the Common and the expanded cricketing opportunities the new pavilion will bring. Planning and Development has been a continued focus for the Council again with an elevated level of applications coming through post pandemic. We have continued to use the Neighbourhood Plan to challenge unsuitable planning applications and provide guidance when requested. It has also been instrumental in our continued defence against the Green Street development. Such large scale planning applications will continue to plague our wonderful Chorleywood until we have a Local Plan in place. We have continued to lobby Three Rivers District Council about this in conjunction with other local parishes. The lifting of Covid restrictions meant that we were finally able to engage with other public bodies face to face again. This meant that we could hold in person Three Rivers District Council / Chorleywood Parish Council / Chorleywood Residents Association liaison meetings and we were able to attend the Local Area Forum and the Joint Committee of Parish Councils meetings. We have continued our “Fit for the Future” plans that we started back in 2021. We have completed the upgrade of our IT systems and the long awaited refurbishment of the Parish Office at South Lodge and also the Rangers Mess Room is now finally complete. This means we now have fit for purpose facilities that are health and safety compliant, more accessible for staff and visitors and in addition, provides a disabled toilet for visitors to the cemetery. Our Succession Plan also came to fruition in 2022 with the recruitment and onboarding of the new Clerk, new Office Manager and new Council (and Councillors) following the elections in May. We also constituted two new committees this year namely, the Sustainability Committee and the Staffing Committee. Both committees are now well established and working on their objectives. As part of the Council’s sustainability focus we launched the Community Garden at Dog Kennel Lane in March. This provides an opportunity for Parishioners to come together to learn new skills, make new connections, help their mental health and hopefully to enjoy the rewards of all their efforts later this year. Whilst much of this past year has been spent on getting “back to normal” and ensuring continuity of service following the significant Officer changes, we have still been looking ahead and our plans for King Charles’s Coronation Celebrations and our annual calendar of events are much advanced. We can look forward to old favourites such as Village Day and the Open Air Cinema plus some new events that our creative Office and Ranger team have hatched. Before closing I have a number of people I would like to thank. Firstly, I would like to thank our Office and Ranger teams for navigating the onboarding of a new Clerk, a new Office Manager and a new Council. This is no mean feat especially when combined with dealing with the post pandemic recovery. I’d like to thank our new Clerk, Sharon Long, for her continued support and her dedication to the role. Annual Report 2022/23 4 I would also like to thank my committee chairs namely, Zenab Hearn (Planning), Louise Price (Sustainability), Harry Davies (Open Spaces) Raj Khiroya (Village Halls) and Vice Chair Stephen Watkins for their support in what has been another remarkable year. Additionally I would like to give a special mention to Cllr Jon Bishop for providing much needed support and guidance to both the new Clerk and myself and for helping with the coordinating the 2023/24 budget. After three years as Chair I will be standing down in May and handing over to someone new. I have enjoyed my time at the helm and hope that I have provided a point of stability and continuity in what has been quite an extraordinary time of challenge and change for the Council. Let us continue to keep safe and well, and enjoy all that Chorleywood has to offer! _Cllr Debbie Rosario Chairman_ Annual Report 2022/23 5 ## **COMMITTEE REPORTS** ## **OPEN SPACES COMMITTEE CLLR. HARRY DAVIES** I had the honour of being elected Chairman of the Open Spaces Committee just twelve months ago. It is an honour because the Open Spaces Committee is a major committee that protects and enhances the environmental interests of Chorleywood, be it our beautiful Common, our allotments or the cemeteries. ## **The Common** The Common is well maintained, and, indeed protected by our Rangers, namely Daniel Du Gard our Conservation Ranger and Brendan Maher, the Common Ranger and our thanks and appreciation goes to both of them for their excellent work. If we take a snapshot of the work involved in managing the Common over the past twelve months, we can see the diversity of the actions that have been taken to ensure the maintenance of the Common and the number of issues that have been dealt with either on a once-off or an ongoing basis. They include the necessary husbandry to deal with overgrown trees and shrubs, dealing with ragwort in areas of intense growth, dealing with the menace of Oak Processionary moths (OPM), proposals to install earth bunding along part of the boundary of the Common to stop vehicles entering it, the grazing of cattle on the Common, the maintenance of Nature Trail walks, and other activities of an educational and recreational nature of benefit not only to young people but residents of all ages. Thankfully, our Village Day was resumed this year with a record attendance, and it was well supported by stallholders and Groups covering a diversity of interests. The Outdoor Cinema was well supported with over 1,100 tickets being sold, and the Jubilee Beacon Lighting was attended by over 1,500 people. At long last the new Cricket Pavilion has been completed and is, indeed, an impressive and functional building with refreshments now available in the café run by Mission Employable. The Open Spaces Committee has also been engaged in discussions with the Chorleywood Golf Course on the proposals for additional warning signage on the golf course. At the time of writing those discussions are continuing. ## **Lawn Cemetery** The Lawn Cemetery continues to be well maintained by our Cemetery Rangers, Mark Thomas and Luke Jones and we thank them both for all their hard work. An area adjacent to the new extension has been levelled with topsoil and seeded. Benches have been painted. Weeping cherry trees have been planted in remembrance of HM the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, and 50 green tinted steel flower vase holders have been purchased and will be available to potholders at the cost price. Regretfully, increases in cemetery prices have been needed to reflect the increases in costs of maintaining the Lawn Cemetery, however the proposed price increases are less than the current level of inflation. ## **Allotments** The management of allotments will be enhanced by the introduction of a digital allotment management system that will enable our Rangers to exchange real- time information on all aspects of allotment upkeep. The Open Spaces Committee has been concerned at the apparent wastage of water at the Dog Kennel Lane allotments and after meetings and dialogue with the allotment holders Annual Report 2022/23 6 proposals to rectify the situation are under current consideration in consultation with the plot-holders. The Open Spaces Committee have reinstated regular Councillor visits to the three allotment sites to meet with plot-holders and help resolve any major issues, and the Allotment Officer will make quarterly visits to the allotment sites. A considerable amount of work has been undertaken by the Rangers in tidying-up vacant allotment sites. It goes without saying that my first year as Chairman of the Open Spaces Committee has been considerably facilitated by the helpful advice, provided when asked, of Debbie Rosario, our Council Chair, Sharon Long, Clerk to the Council and our supporting staff of Laura, Michelle, and Marjorie. ## **CHORLEYWOOD VILLAGE HALLS MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE CLLR. RAJ KHIROYA** Chorleywood Parish Council proudly owns three local halls which are available for hire and bookings can be made via the Parish office. There is Chorleywood War Memorial Hall with a capacity of up to two hundred people which can be an ideal location for wedding parties and birthdays and with a stage facility it is a great venue for other types of events too. Chorleywood Common Room has capacity for up to 40 people, as does the Bullsland Hall. The half term Warm Spaces event held on Thursday, 16 February at the War Memorial Hall was a great success, well organised and well attended event. The residents enjoyed the half term event with the children. Everyone had a warm meal, watched a movie and even had the popcorn to go with that. The Chorleywood Parish Council opening it’s doors for the Warm Spaces event is a positive contribution. It brings our residents together, who can stay warm especially during the current energy crisis. They can enjoy a warm meal together. They say that people who eat together stay together! Credit must be given to the dedicated office staff and the entire team. Well done! Annual Report 2022/23 7 ## **PLANNING COMMITTEE CLLR. ZENAB HEARN** The Parish Council is a statutory consultee on planning applications and meets every three weeks (to tie-in with the Development Control schedule of Three Rivers District Council (TRDC) to consider every planning application falling within the boundary of the Parish. Residents are welcome to attend meetings and may address the Committee with views for or against planning applications, and we consider all representations received via letter or e-mail in our deliberations. Since the election in May 2022, the committee was joined by new members namely Cllr Salem AlDamluji, Cllr Vimo Arumuhan, Cllr Louise Price and rejoined by Cllr Jon Bishop (Vice Chair), Cllr Debbie Rosario (ex officio) and Cllr Steve Watkins (ex officio). A member of the Planning Committee always attends TRDC’s Development Control meetings where there is an application in the Parish under consideration. The Committee also makes representations on developments in neighbouring districts and counties where Chorleywood Parish Council is a statutory consultee. The Committee is encouraged to see progress being made on the new TRDC Local Plan. The sooner the Local Plan is adopted, the more certainty it will provide our residents on future growth in Chorleywood and beyond. This Committee has a strong focus on sustainability. The Committee has consistently been raising concerns about the demolition of structurally sound buildings and increasing waste going to landfill. The Committee would like to see applications demonstrate how the reuse of buildings has been considered before demolition. As of 2 March 2023, 206 applications came before the Planning Committee this past year, of which 109 were passed without objection. The Committee registered concerns on 73 applications and objected to the remaining 24 applications which we “Called In” (if a planning application is Called In it means it must be considered by elected members of TRDC’s Development Control Committee rather than being determined by planning officers under delegated powers). TRDC approved 110 applications relating to Chorleywood, 10 were refused and 20 were withdrawn; the rest remain to be determined. Annual Report 2022/23 8 The Planning Committee meets more than twice as often as any other committee and requires Councillors to undertake an amount of “homework” in order to be an effective member. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all members of the Planning Committee and the Planning Officer who clerks our meetings, Michelle, for their efforts this past year. ## **POLICY & RESOURCES COMMITTEE CLLR DEBBIE ROSARIO** The Policy and Resources Committee met five times during the 2022-2023 Council period. A key focus point for the Committee this past year has been on the completion of a number of infrastructure projects including the rebuilding of the Cricket Club pavilion and the refurbishment of South Lodge and the Rangers Mess Room. Additionally, the Committee has continued to monitor progress on the Swillett Hut feasibility study and the outline planning submission. The Committee submitted recommendations to Full Council for the formation of two new committees namely, Sustainability and Staffing. These were subsequently approved and the committees constituted. The cessation of Covid restrictions meant that many of the Council’s normal community engagements events could finally be held again much to the delight of Councillors, the Officers and Rangers and of course Parishioners. The pent up demand meant that most events were sold out and the excellent feedback from attendees was very much appreciated by the Council. Given the legacy impact of Covid on the Council’s finances and the general volatility in the financial markets due to continued national and world events, much attention has been given over the year to limiting the impact to the Council’s 2022/23 finances and opportunities to mitigate this risk in setting the 2023/24 budget. Sensitive to the cost pressures being experience by all households, the Committee worked hard to ensure that the Parish Council will not be increasing the precept for 2023/24. All the succession planning efforts that the committee undertook in early 2022/23 came to a successful conclusion with the recruitment of a new Clerk and Office Manager following the retirement of the previous Clerk and Deputy Clerk. In addition the Committee was delighted to welcome several new councillors onto the Council following the Parish Council elections in May 2022. In light of Queen Elizabeth’s ill health last year the Clerk briefed the Committee on the process that was to be followed in the event of the death of a Member of the Royal Family, advising of the protocol that had to be followed and the arrangements that needed to be put in place. This was subsequently adhered to following the sad death of the Queen in late 2022. Two companion trees have been planted in the Lawn Cemetery in remembrance of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip, and a commemorative plaque to mark their lives will be installed later this Spring. Annual Report 2022/23 9 Following on from the celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022, the Committee discussed how best to celebrate King Charles’s forthcoming Coronation. The village will again be decorated with celebratory bunting and, rather than holding a single big event, the Council is making available a fund to help support the holding of Parishioners’ street parties. There will also be a colouring competition for local schools with the winning entries displayed in the village phone box art gallery. Several requests for grant funding were received and granted throughout the year including to Friends of Chorleywood Signal Box, Chorleywood Community Initiatives (for the holding of the Christmas Festival) and Chorleywood Film Club. In short it has been another busy and varied year for the Committee and I would like to thank all Committee members for their continued attendance, diligence, enthusiasm and hard work. ## **STAFFING COMMITTEE CLLR DEBBIE ROSARIO** The newly formed Staffing Committee was formally constituted in December and met in January and February 2023. It is chaired by the Chair of the Council, currently Cllr Debbie Rosario and is made up of four other councillors and the Clerk. The key objectives of the Committee include recruitment, setting appraisal dates for the Officers and Rangers, dealing with disciplinary matters and resolving any structural staffing challenges e.g. modification of current roles, new roles required etc. Annual Report 2022/23 10 ## **SUSTAINABILITY COMMITTEE CLLR LOUISE PRICE** In May 2022 the Sustainability Sub-Committee became a Full Committee of the Parish Council and it immediately set to work reducing the environmental impact of not only the operations of the Parish Council, but also the sustainability and carbon footprint of Chorleywood and its residents more generally. I was delighted to be appointed chair of the full Sustainability Committee and the committee has met four times since my appointment. The Sustainability Committee has also co-opted two external members: James McKechnie and Rhonda Vanderwood; we are grateful to them both for volunteering their valuable experience in improving sustainability and environmental protection in Chorleywood. A full review of all activities carried out by the Parish Council has been undertaken and specific areas in which sustainability could be improved identified and action taken. For example, there has been a significant reduction in the amount of photocopying done by the Parish Council with a drive to becoming paperless. Recycling bins are to be installed in all the village halls and the amount of waste being sent to landfill is being reduced significantly, with the aim to send nothing to landfill by 2030. Biodiversity on the Common continues to be a priority and we are continuing to work to reduce water usage and improve air quality. A number of sustainability-themed community initiatives are in the pipeline, with some already up and running, including seed-exchanges between allotment tenants. The new Community Garden project at Dog Kennel Lane allotments started on 1 March 2023. This exciting new project has received support from a number of local businesses who are providing materials and tools. I would especially like to thank brother and sister team, Mark and Tia Ward, who as the lead volunteers have worked so hard to make the Community Garden a reality and who have kindly volunteered to continue to provide their valuable horticultural expertise in maintaining this sustainable resource for the residents of Chorleywood. I would also like to thank Cllr Debbie Rosario and our Conservation Ranger, Daniel Du Gard, for their hard work in getting the Community Garden operational. I look forward to a pro-active and results-based year ahead for the Sustainability Committee. Examples of our work on sustainability include litter picking on the Common, Conservation Grazing, planters made from recycled plastics and introducing recycling on the Common Annual Report 2022/23 11 **COUNCILLORS PERSONAL STATEMENTS** ## **– Cllr Jon Bishop Chorleywood Cedars** I was co-opted to act as a Parish Councillor for Chorleywood Parish Council for a second time in May 2022. Over the last year, in addition to be a general Councillor, I have been part of the following Committees: - Policy and Resources - Planning - Village Halls, and - Sustainability. In addition to the general activities of supporting the above Committees, over the year my main focuses have been: - To represent the Parish Council at TRDC Committee meetings with regard to planning applications and the development of the new Local Plan. - To support the Council with regard to financial matters including the preparation of the budget for the Council’s new financial year. ## **Cllr Munira Oza – Chorleywood East** As a new councillor, my first year has involved getting to grips with the detail of parish council duties. As well as attending full council meetings, I sit on the Village Halls and Staffing Committees and am able to draw upon skills from my legal and not-for-profit experience. Through the Staffing Committee role, I am driven to support parish council staff to have access to training and tools needed for their roles. This is crucial for the effective running of the council - to benefit all. The Village Halls Committee is particularly valued as I have attended many enjoyable classes, parties, and events at the various venues over the years. Our parish is very fortunate to have three well-located and equipped halls for the benefit of our community. Following the pause over the pandemic, I am delighted that there is increasing demand for the halls and I have even had the pleasure of attending shows at the Memorial Hall once again. Recent new activities that have been popular are the Warm Spaces events and it is an honour to be able to offer these for our neighbourhood. Annual Report 2022/23 12 I would like to take this opportunity to thank council staff, hall administrators, and caretakers for all their hard work. ## **Cllr Zenab Hearn – Chorleywood East** I was pleased to have been elected without contest in May 2022. I continue to serve the Parish Council as Chair of the Planning Committee actively supporting our parishioners on planning matters. I am grateful for the opportunity to use my knowledge for the benefit of the Parish Council. I am concerned about the issues being faced by the community in Chorleywood East in relation to crime. I am willing to take the opportunity to support the community, where possible, to ensure swift action is taken to make residents feel safe and secure in their own homes. Alongside my parish work, I welcomed a son in December 2022, he has been a blessing and is keeping me rather busy. I am pleased the Parish Council has been running the Charity Quiz, Village Day, Open Air Cinema and Warm Spaces events amongst other events supporting the strong community spirit in Chorleywood which makes Chorleywood a truly joyous place to live and serve. ## **– Cllr Raj Khiroya Quickwood Ward** My journey with the Chorleywood Parish Council started in the year 2008, and I am now in my fifteenth year as a Parish Councillor. I have represented Quickwood ward for 15 years, making me one of the longest serving councillors at the Parish. In 2014, I was presented with the honour to serve as the Chair of the Council. Subsequently I was invited by her majesty the late Queen Elizabeth to attend the ever popular Garden party at Buckingham Palace. An experience I will treasure for the rest of my life. Previously, I have also served on the executive committee of the Chorleywood Residents Association and was the previous chair too. Currently, I chair the Village Halls Committee, I also sit on the Open Spaces and the Policy & Resources Committees. Furthermore, I am also an elected councillor for Three Rivers District Council representing Chorleywood South & Maple Cross ward. I am a local resident having lived in our beautiful area for the last 37 years. I have also been a school Governor for the last 17 years. Annual Report 2022/23 13 I thank the residents for providing me this opportunity to represent them at both the Councils. I am proud to be associated with the Parish Council and wave their flag representing the local interests. We must march on, may the good work and the contributions by Chorleywood Parish Council continue. ## **Cllr Debbie Rosario – Chorleywood South** This past year has been my fifth year as a Parish Councillor, following my re-election in May 2022, and I have enjoyed getting involved in and contributing towards a wide range of activities as well as being elected Chair for a third year. It has been another extraordinary year for both the Parish and the Council alike as we emerged from the restrictions of the Covid pandemic and also faced significant internal change with the retirement of both the Clerk and Deputy Clerk and the onboarding of many new councillors following the elections. I have tried hard to support the Council and the Officers as we navigate this change with the aim of providing a point of continuity so we could provide the best possible service to our Parishioners. That baptism by fire that I experienced during my first two years as Chair has continued, albeit for different reasons, this year! Throughout this year I have continued to attend Full Council meetings, the Village Halls Trust Committee meetings, Open Spaces Committee meetings and the Policy and Resources Committee meetings. I have also attended the meetings for the new constituted Sustainability Committee and Staffing Committee. In addition I have remained on the Editorial Committee for Chorleywood News, authoring a number of articles. I have also continued to attend the Joint Parishes meetings and the Local Area Forums as Parish Chairman to represent Chorleywood. Following the lifting of Covid restrictions and the resumption of normal community events, I attended and supported a wide range of Council activities including Village Day, the Open Air Cinema, Warm Spaces events, the Jubilee Celebrations, the annual Remembrance service and the special Remembrance service held following Queen Elizabeth’s passing. In addition to carrying out my day to day responsibilities as Chair, I have been actively engaged in executing the Succession Plan for both Officers and Councillors that was agreed in 2021/22. I was involved in the interviews for the new Clerk and the Office Manager and assisted with their onboarding and that of the new councillors elected in May 2022. The redevelopment of the Cricket Pavilion was again a key focus for the Council this year and I was delighted to see the Pavilion finally completed in the Autumn of 2022. It was the culmination of several years of collaboration between the Parish Council, the Cricket Club and Mission EmployAble and I couldn’t have been more proud to take part in the signing ceremony in November. It has been wonderful to see the success of the charity café and how it has been embraced by the local community and I am excited to see the resumption of cricket on the Common and the expanded opportunities the new pavilion will bring. Annual Report 2022/23 14 Due to my IT background I have continued to help support a number of Councillors with the use of their Council tablets and have helped troubleshoot when required. I also used my procurement background to review and negotiate a couple of IT related contracts to ensure best value for the Council. Due to my interest in sustainability I have been actively involved in setting up the new Community Garden by chairing the meetings and securing contributions from local businesses. I am looking forward to being involved in the weekly sessions at Dog Kennel Lane and seeing how the plot develops. I will be standing down as Chair in May and handing over to someone new but I have enjoyed my time at the helm and hope that I have provided a point of stability and continuity in what has been three quite extraordinary years for the Council. ## **Cllr Steve Watkins – Chorleywood South** For the past twenty years I have enjoyed my time as a Parish Councillor and the roles I have taken on. The community has benefitted from the hard work put in by staff and Councillors and I am proud to have been part of that process. I was particularly pleased to see the Cricket Club and Mission EmployAble move into the new pavilion. I'm sure they will both enjoy great success in the future. Judging by the full car parks, Mission EmployAble is off to a flying start. None of us Council members come out on a Tuesday evening or attend other meetings without the support of their families. So I would like to thank my wife, Marguerite, for her continued support even though she has been seriously ill for more than a year. She takes a great interest in our meetings and all that we do for the Parish. ## **Cllr Anna Al-Damluji - Chorleywood South** I was elected on to the Parish Council for the first time at a by-election in January. Since then I have attended a Full Council meeting, a Village Halls Committee meeting, and a couple of working group sessions related to events surrounding the upcoming Coronation of King Charles III. As the year goes on I hope to familiarise myself further with council business and contribute wherever I can. Thanks to the Clerk and the rest of the Councillors for welcoming me onto the Council and for everyone's hard work and dedication. Annual Report 2022/23 15 **- Cllr Ash Bhardwaj Chorleywood South** ## No report received ## **- Cllr Harry Davies Chorleywood South** Since Parish Councils were first established in 1894, they have been the bedrock of democracy closely reflecting the interests of local communities, and I was delighted when I returned as an elected councillor to our Parish Council twelve months ago. I have been able to bring to the Parish Council my experience of many of years serving as a local District Councillor in particular on environmental issues. I have been elected Chair of the very important Open Spaces Committee - a committee that touches the very heart of our community in particular our beautiful common, allotments, and, of course, our Lawn Cemetery - indeed it covers so much that has made Chorleywood a wonderful environment in which to live. I have also been elected Vice-Chair of the Sustainability Committee, a committee that has a parallel commitment to the Open Spaces Committee in caring for and protecting our environment for future generations. The Three Rivers Environmental Forum is the subject of a separate entry in this annual report too and I have been elected as our Council’s representative to the Forum. In addition to my membership of the Open Spaces and Sustainability committees I am a member of the important Council’s Policy and Resources Committee. I have continued to address issues of concern for local residents, and I believe that I am fulfilling the trust placed in me as an elected representative of our local community. ## **Cllr Janet Davies - Chorleywood South** Annual Report 2022/23 16 I was elected to the Parish Council in May 2022 and serve on the Open Spaces Committee, as well as representing the Council on the Friends of the Common organisation, and serving on the Staffing Committee. I have regularly attended the Open spaces Committee and addressed various issues that have been raised during the meetings. Together with my councillor colleagues, I have visited the three allotment sites and submitted a report on our visit and findings to the Council. I had the opportunity of visiting the new cricket club during its building process, and was given a guided tour of the premises. ## **Cllr Frank Mahon-Daly - Chorleywood South** I was elected to the Council in May 2022. At my first meeting I became a member of the Village Halls Committee and was elected as Vice Chair. I missed the first cycle of meeting as I was away in Sweden; this was arranged before I was nominated and elected as a councillor. Since then I have attended all meetings, chairing two Village Halls committee meetings, attended the Village Halls inspections and also the Jubilee tea party. ## **Vimo Arumuhan – Chorleywood Common and Loudwater** No report received ## **Salem Al-Damluji – Chorleywood Common and Loudwater** I was newly elected to the Council in May 2022, and it has been a pleasure to get to know my fellow councillors, and to serve the parish. I sit on the Planning Committee, which has had a busy year, both with the proposed major development on Green Street, and a large number of smaller applications now that the Covid disruption is truly over. Throughout, I have attempted to ensure that we work to safeguard public amenities, such as the beauty of our village and the green spaces surrounding it, while not attempting to gold-plate the already burdensome planning process. As a relative newcomer to Chorleywood, it has also been a pleasure to get to know many more of my fellow residents. Perhaps my most memorable moment was receiving an urgent late-night call - an elderly lady who lived alone on my road had not been answering her phone for several days, and her Annual Report 2022/23 17 daughter, fearing the worst, wanted me to investigate immediately! Fortunately, the lady was alive and well, and had simply broken her phone. No doubt 2023/4 will be a year of many challenges for the Parish Council, but with hard work and perseverance, I am sure we can guide it to an equally happy conclusion. ## **Louise Price – Chorleywood Common and Loudwater** I was delighted to be elected as the Chorleywood Parish Councillor for Chorleywood Common and Loudwater in May 2022. Since then, I have joined a number of the Parish Council Committees including the Planning Committee, Policy and Resources Committee, the Staffing Committee and I am serving as vice-chair of the Open Spaces Committee and as chair of the Sustainability Committee. It is a privilege to be involved with these committees which are all working hard to either maintain or improve Chorleywood as a wonderful place to live, and Chorleywood Common as a precious asset to our area. As I live in Loudwater, joining Chorleywood Parish Council has also given me the opportunity to ensure that the interests of this area of Parish is represented and considered in the decision-making process. I am very much looking forward to continuing my involvement with the Parish Council in the years to come. ## **Sandra Silva – Chorleywood Common and Loudwater** I was co-opted to the Chorleywood Parish Council in May 2022 and since then, alongside attending the Full Council Meetings, I joined the Open Spaces Committee and the Sustainability Committee, as green spaces and sustainable living are two areas of interest to me. I have a background in healthcare, and joined the Chorleywood Parish Council as I want to contribute to the local community in any way I can. Since joining, I learned considerable about how the Parish Council is run. I’m pleased to observe the willingness from councillors and staff to truly make a positive difference in our local community – e.g.: preservation of our heritage; sustainability of our allotments and council; wellbeing of the local population, etc. Annual Report 2022/23 18 2022/23 was a busy year for the council, with significant achievements as highlighted by the various committee reports. It was also a year to seed new ideas, which I’m looking forward to see flourish next year. ## **– Cllr Alison Preedy Chorleywood Common and Loudwater** I am now serving in my fourth term as a Parish Councilor and don’t quite know how, as I was uncontested last May at the elections! I sit on the Open Spaces and Village Halls committees and was involved on the interviewing panel for the selection process of our new Clerk, Sharon. I look forward to the year ahead with lots of plans already in place and getting to know all the new Councilors and staff that have joined the Chorleywood Parish Council, so we can continue working as a team. Annual Report 2022/23 19 **REPORTS FROM OUTSIDE REPRESENTATIVES** ## **LOCAL AREA FORUM CLLR DEBBIE ROSARIO** The Local Area Forum has met on two occasions this year, in October 2022 (in person) and again in March 2023, via Zoom. There has been good representation from all the Parishes, TRDC and Herts County Council at both these meetings and communication between all parties continues to improve. The PCSOs also attended both meetings. Common concerns centred on the impact of planning, the state of road repairs and the crime statistics. At the October meeting the PCSOs handed out a number of safety pouches to residents to prevent their car keys being cloned and they provided a range of helpful crime prevention literature and hints and tips. ## **JOINT COMMITTEE OF TRDC PARISH COUNCILS CLLR DEBBIE ROSARIO** The Joint Committee of Parish Councils has met twice this year. Firstly, in July 2022 where we were hosted by Abbotts Langley Parish Council and secondly, in November 2022, where we were hosted by TRDC. There has been good representation from all the Parishes at both these meetings and it led to some useful discussion, learning opportunities and exchanging of ideas. A wide range of topics were discussed including the continued absence of a TRDC local plan leaving Parishes exposed to continued speculative development in the form of applications such as Green Street for example, the pressures on budgets for 2023/24 and the subsequent setting of the precept, Coronation celebrations and the forthcoming elections in May 2023. Annual Report 2022/23 20 ## **TRDC ENVIRONMENTAL FORUM CLLR. HARRY DAVIES** The Environmental Forum provides an extremely valuable exchange of information on environmental issues in Three Rivers. The Forum consists of representatives from a number of environmental organisations such as the Herts Wildlife Trust, Countryside Management Service, Herts Biological Records Centre, District and Parish Councils, Residents’ Associations, Conservation Societies, the Chiltern Society, and other environmental groups. The Forum meets three times a year, and has a full agenda covering such issues as biodiversity, sustainability, TRDC’s Nature Recovery Strategy, nature reserve, and grasslands management. The Forum provides an opportunity for members to exchange knowledge on a wide range of environmental issues, ask questions to, and engage in a dialogue with TRDC Environmental Officers, and hear from specialist speakers on variety of environmental matters. Recent speakers have included talk on ‘Biodiversity and Nature Recovery in Three Rivers’, An update and overview of ‘Environmental mitigation of HS2’s Chiltern Tunnel South Portal and Colne Valley Viaduct Construction sites’, and a talk on fly tipping, and the legislation covering illegal dumping of waste. ## **POLICE COMMUNITY SUPPORT OFFICERS** ## **Alan Waller 6108 & Alyssa Kite** _Alan Waller and Alyssa Kite are your Police Community Support Officers. Daniel Cunningham is your local Police Officer and covers Chorleywood and Sarratt area._ We have seen a decrease in vehicle crime. Notably, catalytic converter theft from the Chorleywood train station car park, which is owned by British Transport Police. Extra patrols have been conducted by Hertfordshire and British Transport Police (BTP). We have also put-up signage in the car park warning about catalytic theft on behalf of BTP. Theft of vehicles has also reduced since we have promoted and encouraged the use of faraday pouches to use as signal blockers to guard against keyless theft. Annual Report 2022/23 21 We did see a spike in burglaries over the Christmas period. The properties that we attended were mainly residents that had gone away and did not leave sufficient lighting on in the early evening. A house in complete darkness is an obvious sign to any burglar in the darker evenings when most residents are home. One homeowner had gone away and their dustbin had not been taken in from the pavement. Their bin was the only one left out in the road and they were subsequently burgled. Do talk to your neighbours and ask if they can help to bring your bin in or if they could park their car on your driveway. We have been working closely with staff and parents from St Clement Danes School and in March held a meeting at the school, where we welcomed parents to come along and address any concerns they had. Recently, on a Friday after school, we have conducted a joint patrol with the school’s Deputy Head around Chorleywood High Street, where we were able to engage with children and tackle any ASB (anti-social behaviour). We hope to continue working alongside the school and are planning future patrols and engagements. Using our Community Voice feedback forum called ECHO we were still able to engage with the residents of Chorleywood. Following from all the feedback we received: - To tackle issues around safety, officers have increased their hi- visibility foot and cycle patrols around Chorleywood, especially around the train station at key commuting times. We are also running regular community engagement events, which are publicised on OWL and social media platforms, where residents can engage with their local officers. - We have been requested to focus on illegal, inconsiderate & dangerous parking, which has seen us issue many tickets on vehicles that have parked anti socially. - Speeding is the third highest priority according to the feedback received from the public. Therefore, ward officers have been conducting regular speed enforcement activity in the key areas that have been identified as a cause for concern. We have got our Mini Police programme scheduled to start in a local primary school after the Easter break. Mini Police is a weekly one hour classroom session where pupils are taught by their local neighbourhood police about different subjects including ASB (anti-social behaviour), internet safety, bullying, road safety and a community project. The community project is decided amongst the pupils on what they would like to improve in their community. Hertfordshire Police have now produced new QR codes which enables anyone to give feedback regarding how safe they feel in Three Rivers and rural crime feedback. If you scan either of the QR codes below using your camera app on smart phone or tablet this will take you to the website where you can provide your feedback.

This annual report provides an ideal opportunity to highlight these. ## **GRANT FUNDING:** One of the roles of Parish Councils is to improve the quality of life and the environment for their Parishioners. This can be a direct service or by supporting others to facilitate these services. Chorleywood Parish Council operates two grant schemes: - Community Support Funding - Small Grants Scheme Community Support Funding applications will be considered from community organisations or services whose aim is to support the majority of members having a bona fide address within the Parish or from individuals with a permanent address within the Parish. The Small Grant Scheme specifically funds events, small projects and community activities. This grant is capped at a maximum of £250. All grant applications are considered by the Policy and Resources Committee and are funded on a first come first served basis. Further information is available from the Parish Council Website - www.chorleywood pc.gov.uk Over the last year, the Parish Council has awarded the following grants: - Friends of Chorleywood Signal Box were granted £1,000 to assist with printing costs for a book on the history of the railway and Chorleywood - Chorleywood Community Initiatives were granted £931.40 in support of the Christmas Festival - Chorleywood Film Club were granted £146.20 to support the Chorleywood for Refugees Benefit event ## **COMMUNITY CHAMPION AND FREEDOM OF THE PARISH AWARDS** Following the initial success of the Community Champion awards they have now become an annual event. The objective of the scheme is to invite the public to nominate local people who have gone above and beyond to help the community, an individual or a group throughout the course of the year. A policy on awarding the Freedom of the Parish was adopted by the Parish Council in January 2023. The criteria for these awards can be obtained from the Parish Council. ## **POLICE COMMUNITY SUPPORT OFFICERS** There is a separate report from the PCSOs in this annual report but what is not generally known is that the Parish Council match funds the provision of the two PCSOs covering the village. ## **CHRISTMAS LIGHTS** The Parish Council provides the lamp column decorations that light up Lower Road, Main and New Parade in Chorleywood from November to January. A new three-year contract was awarded last year and new lights brightened up the Village for Christmas 2022. Annual Report 2022/23 25 ## **CHORLEYWOOD IN BLOOM** We have had mixed fortunes with our planting in the year 2022/23. Most of the centre plants, Hebes, were replaced in May and flowered well into the autumn. Sadly many did not survive the severe frosts of December and January and will have to be changed for more hardy plants in May. Our choice of Geraniums and Begonias proved very popular with many residents that I spoke to, who commented on the blooms and size that the plants grew to. The Geraniums were also popular with the slugs and snails so some were replaced with more Begonias which were left alone to grow on. Our winter choice of plants were Pansies and Primulas. These have served us well for several years, but unfortunately the Primulas were decimated by the frosts. The Pansies have survived and will last until May when we have the summer change over. Financially this past year has been our best for fund raising. Planter sponsorship has bought in £350, a donation by one of our volunteers provided a further £60 and another £500 was raised from the Charity Quiz Night. I would like to thank our dedicated team of volunteers and Rangers for their help in continuing to support Chorleywood in Bloom, without whose help it would not be a success. ## **CHORLEYWOOD VILLAGE DAY** We are delighted that Chorleywood Village Day will be returning in 2023 following its resumption last year after the COVID pandemic. Reserve the date now in your diaries – Saturday, 8 July 2023. We are now taking bookings for stall holders from commercial and voluntary organisations. If you are - interested, please contact the parish office on the following email: info@chorleywood pc.gov.uk ## **COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE LEVY** The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is a charge which allows the Council to raise funds from new developments for use on infrastructure to support the growth of the district. Annual Report 2022/23 26 Chorleywood Parish Council now receives 15 per cent of the Levy collected by TRDC for development carried out within the parish following the successful referendum on the Neighbourhood Plan. As the Parish Council has the General Power of Competence it can choose what the money is spent on. In the twelve months up to and including 23 March 2023 the Parish Council has received a total sum of £103,597 which has been used to finish the refurbishment of rangers mess room, construct a disabled toilet in Lawn Cemetery for public use, install dipping troughs at Dog Kennel Lane allotments, install new way markers along the nature trail on the Common and the provide new stage curtains and window coverings for the War Memorial Hall. We are currently formulating the list of projects that the 2023/24 CIL monies will be spent on. ## **EVENTS** Throughout the year several themed “trail” related events are held on the Common, for example the Spooky Trail, the Carving Quest Trail and the Easter Trail. These events are organised by the Parish Rangers and Events Officer to encourage people to use and walk around our beautiful Common. All these events are incredibly popular and usually sell out very quickly. We also ran four Outdoor Cinema events over two days on Chorleywood Common last year for the first time. These were well received by many sections of our community and we are planning to keep this on our events programme going forward. The Parish Council’s annual Charity Quiz Night is usually held in November and in the past ten years this event has benefited over 50 different local charities and has raised over £100,000. Following a two-year hiatus, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it finally resumed in November 2022 bigger and better than ever and we are already planning for 2023. Our ever popular Christmas wreath making events took place again in December 2022 with a mixture of week and weekend classes run during the day and evening. We had over 148 attendees with some very impressive wreaths created. The holly, yew and laurel that was used was all from the Common and is cut as part of the Common management plan, providing not just stunning but also sustainable wreath making.
