Gayton Wind Farm Community Fund Meeting Minutes

DRAFT Wind Farm Committee Meeting 7th October 2025 Minutes

 

WINDFARM COMMITTEE MEETING

 DRAFT Minutes from 7th October 2025 at St Peters Church 7pm

  1. APOLOGIES and approval for absence – Cllr Clark

 

  1. DECLARATION OF INTEREST & REQUESTS FOR DISPENSATIONS – None

 

  1. APPLICATION PROCESS – it was resolved that all application forms should reach the Clerk with 2 weeks of the next meeting to get on to the agenda but should there be documents such as insurance still to be received/updated then the application can still go on the agenda for discussion but no grant will be paid out until the Clerk has seen the missing/updated documents.  Also it was pointed out that the new procedure as a whole does need to come back to the WF Committee to be voted on.  This will be at the December meeting – meanwhile we will procedure with Version 4.

 

  1. MINUTES FROM MEETING ON 11TH AUGUST – these were approved and signed by the Chair

 

  1. NEW PADS FOR MARSHLANDS DEFIBRILLATOR – est £150 – due to the imminent need for these pads the Clerk had purchased them from SafeLincs in Alford and picked them up at a cost of £67.20. It was resolved that these pads should be funded from the WF this time but Cllr Saul was keen that we look in future at the Parish Council funds for defibrillator equipment. The Clerk is now co-guardian for the Marshlands Defibrillator along with Cllr Clark.

 

  1. AUTOMATIC NUMBER PLATE RECOGNITION CAMERA (ANPR):- these are approximately £5k each and the police decide where they can be sited.  The lamp post where one was to be sited has disappeared and the Chair has asked that this be reinstated. Several members of the committee thought these would be better funded from the excess of funds that the Parish Council currently have – therefore the Clerk will put this on the Parish Council November meeting agenda.

 

  1. LITTER BINS FOR THE VILLAGE:–

Cllr Stone explained that the litter bin on the bus stop was very well used.He suggested 2 more in the village would be good with local volunteers emptying and litter picking when they are walking their dogs – one on the double bends and one near the Prussian Queen. Cllr Stone thought £600 would cover these – this was voted on and resolved to come from the WF funds.

 

  1. SALTFLEETBY COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION (SCA):-

The application for funding of £222 for a quiz night on 2 November 2025 was approved.
