Donation to Plane Justice

Councillors met with Plane Justice in December 2020 to receive an update that Gatwick and NATS have made the relevant filings with AIS regarding the denotification of the Route 4 RNAV SIDs (i.e., the cancellation of the current route). Assuming these are processed correctly (and there is no reason why they shouldn’t be), denotification has taken place and is scheduled for implementation on 25 February 2021 so we should see a return to the original (2012) Route 4 navigation route from this date.

This is tremendous news, and follows 4 ½ years of hard work and support from so many people in the community, so thank you to everyone that has contributed to this worthy and just campaign.

2018 Route 4 ACP

Although this Airspace Change Proposal has been on hold for some time, it was confirmed by Gatwick during a Noise Management Board Public Meeting on the 3rd December that this was likely to be continued after the 25th February enabling them to monitor the reverted flight patterns.

Plane Justice and S&SPC will continue to play an active role as a key community stakeholder ensuring fairness in any future decisions regarding the flight patterns of Route 4.

The Parish Council had previously pledged £7,500 to support Plane Justice (having made financial donations to date of £10,000). Council agreed to retain the pledge of £7,500 for these new JR matters and made the donation of £5,000 immediately with the pledge of a further £2,500 if needed. A further £1,000 was paid to Plane Justice in January 2021.

The bulk of Route 4 after the turn is in our parish which is why we support PJs’ efforts and this financial support serves the purpose of getting Route 4 back to the legacy position.

The National Association of Local Councils (NALC), has accredited Salfords and Sidlow Parish Council with the Quality Gold Award. for the Local Council Awards Scheme. We submitted our application in May. Receiving the Quality Gold Award is an excellent achievement showing that our local parish council achieves good practices in governance, community engagement and council improvement. Furthermore, this award shows that our council has gone above and beyond the legal obligations; we lead our community and continuously seek opportunities to improve and develop even further. We are very proud of this achievement and plan to continue to develop and work with our community to obtain the best outcomes for what is wanted in our villages.

The defibrillator was installed in Sidlow in early September 2023 and is located next to the Parish Council noticeboard near the Three Horseshoes Pub in Ironsbottom. The defibrillator needs to be kept at an ambient temperature all year round so we have purchased a locked solar cabinet to house the defibrillator. If you would like to know the code for access please contact the Clerk. Alternatively, if in an emergency you needed access, when you call the ambulance on 999 they would give you the code. The unit might appear to be a strange angle but this is so the solar panels reach maximum benefit from the sun! The procurement and installation costs were just under £4,000. We hope it will never have to be used but now have comfort that there is a unit near our residents in Sidlow. In July 2023 we held a well attended defibrillator/ CPR training session for our residents with some really good questions being asked. We thank Brendan, who runs First Aid training, and joined us to offer free CPR training to compliment the defib training.

The Parish Council has used Strategic CIL Infrastructure Funding Programme (SIP) 2023-2027, from Reigate and Banstead Borough Council (R&BBC) to completely refurbish the rear hall at Salfords village hall. The works were completed during Summer 2023, when less busy, and the rear hall was re-opened in late August 2023. The original proposed costs were set at £24,173. However, once the project started there were necessary additional works that had to be undertaken to move walls and pipework which was discovered at ground floor level. The Parish Council also agreed to have various improvement works such as making the WC area larger for access, lowering ceilings for thermal efficiency improvements, re-plastering various walls, completely re-decorating the whole of the rear area and replacing the flooring throughout. The final project costs came to £33,000. This was the first stage of a two part project for rear hall improvements. We will be using the remaining grant Strategic CIL funding to replace the patio at the rear area. These works will be completed in the October half term at a cost of £10,000.  We hope these improvements will provide easy access for our local community groups and residents. The Parish Council has plans for 2024 to procure some high and low level planters so we can look to start a community garden which residents can get involved with in the summer months. More to follow on this later this year or early next as we have developed our plans. If this is something you would be interested in getting involved with please let us know.
