Annual Report 2017-2018

TOWN MAYOR’S REPORT I was genuinely surprised that my name had been put forward to be Town Mayor for this 2017/18 Council year, but I gladly accepted the role knowing that new Councillors would be elected, and I hoped that my experience over the last number of years might be of use to those starting their own journey like mine in 1989. The elections last year were not hugely contested, which came as a surprise to me when there is so much involvement now with people having electronic devices and contact through media, and other more normal means of advertising and requesting residents to take part in the governance of our Town. The Councillors take part in three main Committees, Policy and Resources, Amenities, and Planning and Development, as well as bi-monthly Full Council meetings. The public is invited to each of these and can take part before the meeting to report their concerns which can be heard at that meeting. Working groups meet on a regular basis working on tasks relative to their parent Committee, and a personal thanks to those committed Councillors that I see on each of these necessary groups. Calne Town Council is based at Bank House and is run by a team of committed staff headed by Director of Council Services Jeannette Young, and Senior Managers, Stuart West, Head of Operations, Mark Edwards, Head of Business, and Kevin Whitehorn, Head of Leisure who is based at Beversbrook. The management team are responsible for a range of duties carried out with the main body of staff in Bank House and Beversbrook, all of which cannot work without our grounds team, that many of you see on a daily basis keeping our Town in good order. This last Mayoral year has been pretty intense, with many events taking place in Calne which have prompted the residents to be part of and to enjoy the Town in full bloom, as we entered and won Gold in the South West Britain in Bloom awards. The Summer Festival saw an increase in the number of floats and community involvement, and the ever-increasing Bike Meet gave the Town a lift over the summer months. The successful Fireworks’ Night started the winter season off, and then the Winter Festival and Lantern parade brightened a gloomy winter. February saw the Town Hall decorated and invited companies to take part in a very successful Wedding Fair, attracting couples to book for their special day making use of this historic building. The Calne Lions organised the Duck race again in May, based on the similar format as they have done in the past, they also organised the Father Christmas’ sleigh that entertained us all through the streets last December, and not forgetting the Calne Rotary group although small in number, put a huge effort into helping where they could throughout the year, also raising money for those in need.

Annual Report 2017-2018

I must mention Calne Our Place, a group of residents promoting Tourism into Calne which had a knock on effect to prompt the refurbishment of The Lansdowne Strand Hotel and the arrival of Antica Roma next door to complement the eating habits of all those that enjoy good food. All this gives the centre of the Town a lovely atmosphere and has improved our night time economy. Calne Our Place has worked towards getting new boundary signs placed on the entrances to Calne, showing a more vibrant and welcoming message to visitors along what is now called the Great West Way from Bristol to London of which we hope tourist will stay in our Town rather than driving past. Of course, it’s not all fun. We were in the spotlight earlier last year as our bronze pigs went missing overnight, which caused an uproar with everybody that had been involved with those that had an attachment to the Harris Bacon factory. This found Calne in print in broadsheets all over England! Thankfully an honest trader in Gloucester recognised these bronze pigs from the media reports and helped to return them back for our safekeeping. Thanks to Calne Lions for funding the repairs and reinstallation of the sculpture, Blackford Engineering for repairing the damage done to the base, and the Council grounds staff who replaced the Pigs back in their rightful place for all to enjoy once again. One of the highlights for Calne was the acceptance of the Referendum for our Town Neighbourhood Plan, which saw four years of involvement with residents placing housing and workplaces where they are needed, so giving us the right to accept or refuse further development in areas within our Town boundaries. This will gain the Town additional funding through the Community Infrastructure Levy, as new dwellings are built. My wife Miriam and I visited most of our neighbour Towns during the Civic season and we passed on your good wishes from Calne and supported many of their town charities, and we found that all these Wiltshire Towns like us, are all working through difficult times with financial restraints, trying and mostly succeeding like us, to balance the books but keeping the main services at the forefront for the benefit of our ever increasing populations.

COUNCILLORS Calne has nineteen Town Councillors who are elected for a term of four years; the next election will take place in May 2021. Councillors are responsible for making key policy decisions and deciding on the Town Council’s spending plans and budget for the financial year ahead. By-elections are held if seats become vacant. The Mayor and Deputy Town Mayor are elected annually in May.

At the beginning of each municipal year, councillors are requested to state a preference for the committees they wish to serve on. This has proven very successful and is instrumental in councillors becoming very knowledgeable and accumulating experience in the area they choose. The Town Council supports the young people of the town by sponsoring the Drop-In Centre in Wood Street, run by Calne Youth Trust. These premises offer young people the opportunity to have a safe place to meet, rather than spending their time out on the streets. The young people have access to computers and a wide variety of games – not forgetting soft drinks and snacks.

COUNCIL AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS Meetings of the full Town Council are held every two months to carry out the majority of the council’s business. These meetings are supported by three other committees:   

Annual Report 2017-2018

TOWN COUNCIL STAFF The Town Council employs 21 full-time and 9 part-time staff, several volunteers and also employs casual bar staff ; the staffing structure is at Appendix B. Officers also provide support to councillors as required and a Proper Officer is present at all council and committee meetings to provide legal and practical advice and record decisions that are made.

Policy and Resources Amenities Town Development and Planning

The Policy and Resources and Amenities Committees meet on average five times a year with the Town Development and Planning Committee meeting every three weeks. The date, time and agenda for each meeting is advertised by means of a notices placed on notice boards, in the Visitor and Community Information Centre in Bank House and on the Town Council website and in the Calne Connection newsletter which is delivered to every household and many businesses in the town. Minutes of committee meetings are also placed on the Town Council’s website.

STAFF TRAINING Calne Town Council is dedicated to offering training opportunities to all members of staff, which not only widens the skill base of the employees but also offers them variety of work which they may not normally encounter. The Town Council also believes that the offer of training makes the employee feel valued and reinforces the value of the work they are undertaking.

Members of the public are very welcome to attend these meetings. At the beginning of each meeting, 15 minutes is allocated for public participation during which members of the public may address councillors on any matter relating to policy or decisions of the Town Council.

WORK EXPERIENCE Working in partnership with local schools, the Town Council offers young people the opportunity to work at the Council Offices for a week each year to gain work experience. This is a rewarding experience for both the officers and the young people.

The Councillors will not be able to enter into a debate on any subject raised during this time of public participation but may consider the subject at a later date and respond accordingly.

PLANNING APPLICATIONS / NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN Calne Town Council is statutorily consulted on planning applications submitted to Wiltshire Council relating to Calne Town.

The Town Development & Planning Committee meets every three weeks on a Wednesday evening in the Town Hall to consider and comment on these applications.

On 1st February 2018, the Calne community plan area voters agreed that Wiltshire Council should use the Neighbourhood Plan for Calne and Calne Without to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood.

TOWN CRIER COMPETITION The Calne Town Criers Competition took place on 30th September 2017 and brought colour, drama, comedy and history to Beach Terrace and the New Market Place. The event is where Calne celebrates its historical traditions. Criers from all over the country regale with fascinating facts about their home town, and the theme for 2017 was ‘Regalia’”

Mark Wylie, Calne Town Crier said “Some cries will be historical, some will be hysterical all will be entertaining and, who knows, some may even be educational! So I heartily recommend the Calne Town Criers Competition as a perfect way to celebrate this country’s traditions and have a great day out to boot!”

CIVIC AWARDS Congratulations to this year’s Civic Award winners. The Town Mayor presented their awards at the Annual Parish Meeting held in Calne Town Hall on 23rd March. TOWN MAYOR’S CIVIC AWARDS Mercy Baggs Mercy was a Town Councillor from 1995 – 2017. She has served more than 20 years on the Town Council and has been mayor 3 times.

Alongside her full time job, she managed to find the time to arrange and decorate carnival floats, organising BBQs and camping trips as well as events at the North Wilts Guiding Centre. Norma is described by the Brownies as an unsung hero of Calne, and her commitment and dedication should be shouted from the roof tops. Norma has now taken a step back from leadership, but her Brownies didn’t want her to slip away without some form of recognition. Catherine Crofts Catherine has volunteered a lot of her time to start a new community group called Calne Clean Up Crew. This group, which is only a couple of months old, has already had an enormous impact on Calne. There have been so many volunteers out picking up litter in various different locations. Catherine has been the driving force behind this group, and we can’t begin to thank her enough for her efforts. We have awarded Catherine with a cheque for £100, which can be put towards new equipment or other necessities for the group.

CALNE CCTV The CCTV System is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office and operates in compliance with The Data Protection Act 1998 and The Human Rights Act 1998. CCTV continues to be a powerful weapon against crime producing consistently compelling evidence for criminal prosecutions. The team of dedicated volunteers staff the Control Room at peak times throughout the week, working in partnership with the main retailers in the town centre, providing that vital link to the police. The police continue to visit the Control Room on a regular basis enabling both parties to share vital information and seize CCTV footage for further action. VOLUNTEERS Volunteer Operators work in a team of two, occasionally three for busy town events, this gives effective incident response and much needed camaraderie, particularly at night. Two workstations, each equipped with a control mouse, joystick and separate keyboard. Each station also has a spot monitor and an Airwave police radio is available to either operator. Operators will work a typical shift of three to four hours, so comfort is of great importance, hence the installation of air-conditioning. We are proud to be one of a small minority of CCTV Control Rooms staffed entirely by volunteer CCTV Operators. The current CCTV Manager has been in post since May 2015 having been selected from the volunteer staff through the recruitment and interview process.

CCTV Operators made 185 entries onto the Incident Log sheet from April 2017 to date. Incidents logged are not indicative of crime figures for Calne Town Centre, but are entries made by operators relating to anything suspicious seen on camera in compliance with the objectives set out in Calne Town Councils Code of Practice and requesting involvement of the police. Also requests made by police over the radio for specific monitoring i.e. specific individuals, vehicle registrations, school truants, shoplifters, missing persons and drink drivers etc. Additionally, we hold an Intelligence log book for the recording of details of sightings of known offenders, suspicious behaviour that has not led to an incident. CCTV Operators made 441 entries in the Intelligence log from April 2017 to date, vastly decreased from 1141 last year. Operators are trained to act proactively and regularly inform the police of movements to areas subjected to on-going antisocial behaviour which fall outside of the cameras range, thus preventing an escalation or migration of ASB elsewhere.
