| 13 | Finance | |
| 13.1 | Fund hosting on behalf of Cero/BizGive – Cllr Durrant noted the difficulties that the Cero Solar Farm fund has in releasing funds for smaller projects in a short amount of time. It has been suggested that Bramley PC could consider hosting the funds, and disbursing them on behalf of Cero when grants are agreed. The fund would be kept entirely separate from PC accounts, and grants will still be agreed by a panel of local people on behalf of Cero. The Clerk has checked the lawfulness of such an arrangement, and Bramley PC is able to do this. The funding would still be subject to the PCs audit process.
Cllr Flooks proposed that Bramley PC host and disburse funds on behalf of Cero, subject to opening and running the necessary bank account and putting in the necessary procedures. Cllr Wright seconded, unanimously agreed. Clerk to take forward. BWS battery farm grant – this is a similar scheme to the solar farm grant, and will be £10K a year for 10 years. This will not be handled by Bramley PC. |

|
| 13.4 | CIL Income & Expenditure update (see appendix D) – CIL income is expected imminently from Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council, who have confirmed that the total will be £575,289.
i. CCLA investment account – the Clerk has circulated details of the Public Sector Deposit fund, a fund managed by CCLA. CCLA (Churches, Charities & Local Authorities) specialise in products aimed at the charities and local government sector, who are naturally very risk averse due to their managing money on behalf of their community. Their investment portfolios are spread over a number of low risk investments to ensure the minimum exposure to risk. The current rate of return is around 5%, compared to 2.25% currently accrued on the Unity instant access savings account. Whilst it is not instant access, funds can be accessed in 24 hours. Clerk to check tax implications. Clerk to explore further and look at opening an account. Draft proposal for November meeting. |

Appendix A – October Briefing notes
COMMUNITY SPEEDWATCH
SIDs – The SIDs were in operation throughout September.
The SID positioned towards Bramley Corner monitoring traffic coming continues to show worrying data. 69% of Vehicles are speeding, multiple recordings of over 70mph, the V85 figure being 39mph (action should be taken if this exceeds 35mph for a 30mph zone). Could the PC please take this up directly with the Police? Even re-establishing the pinch point would be of some assistance in reducing speeds in this area.
Recent Local SpeedWatch Activity – 4 manned Deployment were undertaken during September. A total of 30 vehicles were reported to the Police from the 550 vehicles checked – hit rate 5%. Top speed recorded 46 mph.
The SpeedWatch insurance has been renewed thanks to a grant from the Parish Council.
The residents in Kirby Drive have raised concerns over speeding vehicles in the area with the Parish Council and Speedwatch. In response Speedwatch set up a SID to collect some base line data for the residents. 2 manned deployments were also undertaken in the area. The SID data collected has been fed back to the residents and is included at the end of this report.
Equipment:
Camera: AutoSpeedWatch – No issues, the camera continues to work well.
I have done some trending of the camera data and manned deployment data at the Village Hall, (see below). The graph shows the percentage of vehicles exceeding 35mph on a monthly basis. The dotted line is the trend, which is showing a slight decline.
For comparison I have trended the maned deployment reports at the Village hall of the number of vehicles reported to the police as a % of the vehicles checked. The period is not the same as for the camera trend but it also show a slight downward trend in the data.
PCC Equipment Grant – I have contacted the PCC regarding the media shoot and have been informed that the PCC is currently too busy to attend, however the new Deputy PCC, once up to speed in his new post, will visit.
Table 1: Camera Data
The following camera data was downloaded on the 1st of October 2025.
The Camera trigger and reporting speed are set at =>35mph. Illegal vehicles = no tax, no Mot, or no Tax and Mot.
Camera statistics for September 2025
Table 2: Speed Indicator Device (SID) DATA September 2025:
*V85: 85% of vehicles are driving slower or exactly this speed.
** The data from the SID at the Forge is only using data from vehicles leaving the SID, they will all be in the 30mph Zone
SID data collected at Kirby Drive 27th August – 8th September 2025:
The data shows that with a 30mph limit only 0.4% of traffic is exceeding 30mph, with a maximum speed recorded being 34mph. I have passed this data to the residents.
If a 20mph limit was imposed traffic exceeding the limit would have been 37.4%. It must be noted that the traffic currently is not currently obligated to observe 20mph so it can be assumed that if a 20mph limit was set this (37.4%) figure would be lower due to driver compliance. For more detail on the data, please contact Bramley Parish Council.

£850 MILLION risk to taxpayers – why Hampshire must be cautious on reorganisation
The BBC’s report last week revealed the Government has done no new analysis of the costs of local government reorganisation — relying instead on a 2020 PwC study.
PwC’s updated figures show:
– The wrong model could cost £850m over 5 years and deliver no long‑term savings.
– Smaller unitary councils (populations ~300,000) risk piling up unsustainable costs.
As said before — in Hampshire County Council statements and to the press — these changes aren’t just about lines on a map. They affect complex, life‑changing services like adult social care, which Hampshire already delivers to 1.4 million people every day. Fragmenting them risks higher costs, reduced resilience, and disruption for residents.
Yes, reform at the right scale can work. But rushed, poorly‑designed reorganisation could leave Hampshire taxpayers paying more for less — and frontline services under greater strain.
We must demand evidence‑based decisions, rigorous scrutiny, and a clear plan that protects both services and value for money.
You can read the BBC report here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj9wxnlnrxdo
Plan Submitted
Hampshire County Council’s Cabinet have now approved our submission to Government for Local Government Reorganisation across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
We have put forward what we believe is the strongest option—one that gives the new authorities the best chance of financial resilience, safeguards and enhances the services people rely on, and offers residents confidence that, wherever they live—countryside or city, village or town—they will be able to understand, engage with, and influence their council.
At the heart of our proposal are the people we support. To you, we give this assurance: while we remain in place, your care and wellbeing will continue to be our priority.
To our staff, whose dedication and professionalism underpin everything we do: we see your hard work, we value the service you provide, and we will stand with you through the uncertainty and disruption ahead.
To the people of Hampshire, we commit to managing this process with competence and professionalism—never forgetting that it is your money we spend, and you whom we serve.
And to the fellow leaders: our task is complete. This should no longer be a source of division. Now is the time to move forward together—with competence, professionalism, and kindness. Because this is not about us. It is about the staff for whom we are responsible, the residents we represent, and above all those who depend most on the services we provide.
Flags
Flags around our area have sparked a range of reactions—some proud, some concerned. We’ve heard from many of you about the Union Flags and Flags of St George flying locally.
we understand these symbols mean different things to different people. In times of celebration, they often go unnoticed. But today, they’re drawing attention—and questions.
So here’s our approach as far as HCC is concerned:
- If a flag is dangerous or obstructive—covering road signs or blocking junction views—we’ll remove it.
- If it’s safe and not causing issues, it stays.
This isn’t about politics—it’s about practicality. Our highways teams are focused on potholes, drainage, and vegetation. That’s where their time is best spent rather than removing flags.
If you’ve put up a flag, please keep an eye on it. Autumn weather can be rough, and no one wants tatty flags flapping from lampposts. A garden flagpole might be a better option—and yes, there are sensible rules around that.
Thinking of installing one?
- No planning permission needed if it’s under ~4.5m and flying a recognised flag.
- You’ll need permission for taller poles or promotional flags.
- When in doubt, check with the planning team.
Let’s keep our community safe, respectful, and tidy..
Help Shape Hampshire’s Climate and Weather Resilience Inquiry
Hampshire’s coast is one of our greatest treasures—and one of our most vulnerable assets. With rising sea levels, more intense storms and an ever-changing shoreline, coastal erosion and landslips threaten our homes, heritage and local economy.
Parliament’s Environment Food and Rural Affairs Committee has launched a call for evidence on Climate and Weather Resilience, and they want to hear from people who live, work and care for our coastline.
What they’d love you to tell them by 10 October:
– The scale and nature of risks from coastal erosion and landslips in your community
– Existing strategies or gaps in research and policy (including the FCERM Strategy)
– Social, economic and psychological impacts on affected families and businesses
– How well current support (financial compensation, relocation help, wellbeing services) meets local needs
– Whether emergency services and local authorities have the resources and training to respond, especially in remote or rural coastal spots
– The threats to landscapes, heritage sites and public access—and how to safeguard them
Hampshire County Council is already stepping up to the challenge.
Our highways teams are:
– Installing sustainable drainage systems to reduce flood risk on key routes
– Reinforcing vulnerable road corridors against extreme weather events
– Integrating climate resilience into every new road and bridge project
Meanwhile, our countryside projects are:
– Restoring wetlands and natural floodplains to absorb storm surges
– Strengthening shingle ridges and saltmarshes that buffer wave energy
– Replanting native vegetation to stabilise cliffs and slopes
Your lived experience and local expertise can help shape stronger, fairer policies—and make sure Hampshire leads the way in climate resilience. Submit your written evidence to the EFRA Committee by 10 October:
https://committees.parliament.uk/call-for-evidence/3748/
Please share this post with neighbours, community groups and organisations that have a stake in protecting Hampshire’s coastline. Let’s make our voices heard!
Adult Social Care Funding in Hampshire
Hampshire County Council is under huge financial pressure, and one of the reasons is that the NHS, through the local Integrated Care Board (ICB), is not contributing enough funding to cover the rising costs of adult social care.
What this means is that the Council is being forced to pick up the bill for services that are really the NHS’s responsibility – like hospital discharge support, reablement after illness, and specialist mental health placements for younger adults. These are not statutory duties for the Council, but without them, hospitals would struggle even more.
The result? Millions of pounds are being diverted from other vital services, leaving the Council’s budget stretched to breaking point. Unless the NHS fully funds the health‑related care it is responsible for, Hampshire residents will face cuts elsewhere.
Put simply: the Council is paying for NHS services out of local budgets, and that’s not sustainable.
At our Cabinet meeting this week we warned that this situation cannot sustain. We are out of step with other Councils in southern England, who receive much greater support to deliver these services.
