The Parish Council recently met with the LLFA team and we have been informed that any occurence of flooding, no matter how small , internal to properties or external MUST be logged with NLC by calling the following numbers
01724 297000 during office hours
01724 276444 our of hours
NLC statistics are produced from the number of calls made to the council. West Halton is currently low down on the priority list so we need to keep pressure on NLC and the LLFA to take more actions.
The more pressure the community puts onto these 2 organisations, the more they must listen and take remedial actions.
Please do also take photographs noting the date and time of the flooding occurence and send these to the clerk.

WEST HALTON AND COLEBY ALLOTMENTS
The mains water is a real asset to the allotment holders. This year has been one of the driest in living memory so to have this facility on site is tremendous.
A photo shoot took place with Winterton Lions. They kindly provided WH+C PC with £300 to enable 4 extra taps and posts to be installed, thereby providing more water points for the allotmenteers.
The Land Registry application is still an on going project.
West Halton Village field
We have a beautiful village field (technically not a village green) which the council rent from the Church Commission on an annual basis. The current lease is for 20 years and is due to expire in 2033. We are extremely lucky to have this field available for all residents to enjoy however we are very limited as to what can happen on the field.
All residents are welcome to use this open space for recreation however residents are reminded that they do so at their own risk
Our village field risk assessment can be viewed via this link

Are residents aware that a large section of the field is registered with Historic England?? No development whatsoever, even a hole in the ground, in the registered area, is permitted without first obtaining permission from Historic England, The Church Commission and the Department of Culture, Media and Sports.
The Parish Council have carried out a rolling programme of wall repairs, repairing a section every year for the last 5 years, however we are now left with the severely damaged sections. As this is a registered Heritage Area, the council is actively seeking the possibility of obtaining some heritage funding which would be utilised towards future wall repairs.
