9 Correspondence

Positive feedback was received from a resident who called to commend the Council for the recent installation of a bin outside Swan Lane Allotments. The resident reported that the bin has been well utilised, leading to a significant reduction in litter, particularly dog waste, in the area.

10 Head Groundsman’s Report

• Routine seasonal work
• Weed and moss treatment
• Maintaining planters in and around the town, including Doggetts Barn and beds in cemeteries
• Topping up sunken graves
• Winter pitch maintenance
• Pruning of shrubs and bushes
• Pitch marking
• Watering
• Mowing all sites

The team has been busy painting gates and railings throughout the cemetery. When time allows, they will also attend to the railings along the Mill Leat, as well as benches across all Council sites. At the Recreation Ground, preparations are underway with the team marking out 10 frisbee pitches for an upcoming tournament. With the football season now concluded, all goals at The Recreation Ground have been taken down, and work has begun to renovate the goal mouths and worn areas to ensure the facilities are ready for next season.

The annual COSHH review is taking place and is expected to be completed in the coming days. Additionally, the team has been supporting the plot officer at Forge Croft Allotments by cutting back overgrown plots and clearing debris and rubbish for disposal. The new bin installed at Swan Lane Allotments has been well received and is being regularly used.

A contractor has recently carried out repair work on the rubber safety surfacing at Stangrove Play Park, improving the safety of the area. Meanwhile, summer plants have been planted throughout the town and in the courtyard at Doggetts Barn. As agreed at the April previous meeting, the team also planted a new tree in Stangrove Park to commemorate 130 years of Edenbridge Town Council, alongside Councillor Bob Todd.

10.1 To approve the expenditure of £250 for the hire of equipment to remove tree stumps

At the site visits in May it was mentioned that Councillors would like to remove some tree stumps across various sites. This is something that can be done in house with the hire of a machine at a cost of £350 per day.

Do Members approve the expenditure of £250 for the hire of equipment to remove tree stumps?

10.2 To approve the expenditure of £1,083 plus £150 delivery for a new gate for the street snooker play area

The gate to the street snooker play area in Stangrove Park is broken and is no longer closing properly. A new gate is required at a cost of £1,083 plus £150 delivery. This can be fitted by the Ground Staff so installation is not required.

Do Members approve the expenditure of £1,083 plus £150 delivery for a new gate for the street snooker play area?

10.3 To receive an update on moving from white diesel to a greener, more sustainable fuel, Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO)

At the September 2024 meeting Members resolved to switch from white diesel to HVO as a greener sustainable fuel at the September open spaces meeting, subject to checking that this would not affect the servicing, nor the warranty for the new Kubota. At the February 2025 meeting it was confirmed that servicing and warranties would not be effected.

On 15 May the first delivery of HVO was received. To date, no issues have been reported.

Do Members have any comments?

Cemeteries: Whilst the vast majority of graves are compliant with the rules there a few that are not. Now that the new signage is up an audit will take place over the summer. For any graves that are not compliant the grant of right holders will be written to.

11.1 Byelaws: To receive an update and approve amended draft for resubmission

Byelaws Review – Background and Next Steps

• November 2022: Committee supported a draft set of amended byelaws, adapted from the Government’s Model Byelaws for Pleasure Grounds, Public Walks and Open Spaces 2018.
• December 2022: A copy of the draft byelaws was submitted to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) for informal review and comment.
• February 2023: DLUHC responded (without prejudice to the Secretary of State’s eventual decision) confirming that they had not identified any blocking issues likely to prevent confirmation of the application.
• August–October 2023: Statutory public notices were published in: The Edenbridge Chronicle (August edition); The Edenbridge Magazine (September/October edition); The Council’s website and Facebook page 
• October 2023: Full Council resolved to proceed with a formal application to the Secretary of State for confirmation and approval of the revised byelaws.
• January 2024: The application was formally submitted.
• February 2024: DLUHC responded that the enabling powers under which the byelaws were being made were not clearly stated. The Council confirmed, on the same day, that the byelaws were made under: Section 164 of the Public Health Act 1875; and Sections 12 and 15 of the Open Spaces Act 1906.
• March 2024: DLUHC advised that the application must be accompanied by a supporting report demonstrating compliance with the necessary criteria. This was prepared and submitted in October 2024.
• April 2025: Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) advised that the Secretary of State was unable to grant permission for the byelaws in their current form, citing conflicts with existing legislation in several clauses. (A copy of the response letter is attached – confidential.)

Next Steps

The draft byelaws have since been amended to address the issues raised. A revised version is attached (confidential) with recommended corrections.

Recommendation - Members are asked to:

1. Review the attached amended draft byelaws.
2. Approve the revised version for resubmission to the Secretary of State via MHCLG.

11.2 To receive the Burial Report

April: Two burials, one ashes interment.

May: Two burials, three ashes interments.

June: One ashes interment (to date).

11.3 To consider additional memorial benches in the Cemetery and create a Cemetery Benches Policy

There are currently 17 memorial benches in the cemetery. The Open Spaces Officer has assessed the area and believes there is space for a maximum of 8 more benches, bringing the total to 25. Should more benches be permitted, a new Cemetery Benches Policy has been drafted for approval, subject to confirmation of the number of benches permitted.

Do Members confirm to permit additional benches in the Cemetery? If so, how many additional benches should be permitted?

Do Members confirm that benches should be fixed to the ground, where possible?

Do Members confirm the Cemetery Benches Policy?

11.4 Fly tipping

No fly tipping has been reported.

11.5 Vandalism report

Reported on item 12.7.

11.6 Allotment matters

At the April meeting Members confirmed to introduce a £50 deposit to any new allotment tenants to reduce the financial burden on the Council for tidying neglected plots at both the Swan Lane and Forge Croft sites.

The attached tenancy agreement has now been updated to reflect this.

4. Effective from April 2025 onwards, all new plot holders will be required to pay a £50 deposit at the commencement of their tenancy. This deposit will be refunded in full at the end of the tenancy, subject to the plot being returned in a clean, tidy, and well-maintained condition, ready for the next tenant. The decision to return the deposit will be at the sole discretion of the Council, based on an inspection of the plot at the end of the tenancy.

Do Members confirm the amendment to the agreement?

11.7 Market activity

There are currently 19 traders who attend the market, although not all are regular. Averaging around 10 stalls per week.

On 8 May 2025 there was a VE Day themed market. The market was decorated with bunting and the traders embraced the occasion. Balloons, hats, and pencils were provided to any children who attended the market.

11.7.1 To receive an update on Lingfield Farmers Market and reconsider the commercial fee

At Committee’s last meeting (April), members received and considered an application from the new Lingfield Farmers Monthly Market (LFM) for a market licence agreement. It was agreed that the market fees would be waived for the first market only, with subsequent events charged at the commercial rate. An invoice of £25 has been issued to cover the May and June markets, based on up to 25 stalls per event.

Legal Clarification on Market Rights

Following questions raised on behalf of LFM concerning the Town Council's authority to enforce market rights beyond its administrative boundaries - and specifically regarding the application of the six and two-thirds miles rule - the legal adviser from the National Association of British Market Authorities (NABMA) provided the following clarifications:

• Market Rights Coverage: The leading case Halton Borough Council v Cawley (1985) confirmed that a market operator with established rights can enforce those rights within a six and two-thirds mile radius, even when that area extends beyond its own administrative boundaries. This was further affirmed in Newcastle City Council v Noble (1990).
• Statutory Market Rights: Under Section 50 of the Food Act 1984, and the supporting cases Wakefield City Council v Box (1982) and East Lindsey District Council v Hamilton (1984), a statutory market is deemed to have the same rights as a market established by Royal Charter, unless specifically restricted by legislation. No such restriction is known to apply in Edenbridge’s case. Therefore, the Town Council is entitled to apply Part III of the Food Act 1984 - including Section 50 - as the basis for its market licensing policy.

In correspondence with LFM, it has been made clear that the Town Council’s intent is not to be obstructive. The aim is to consistently apply its policies in a way that supports the successful establishment of regular market events.

Fee Structure and Current Status

LFM has yet to pay the £25 fees invoiced for May and June, and consequently, a signed agreement has not been issued. LFM queried the fee structure and was advised that charges are applied based on the number of stalls. The fee of £25 per market has been calculated on the understanding that the first event hosted approximately 15 stalls. Should the number of stalls regularly exceed 25 (assessed over a three-month period), the fee will be adjusted in line with the Council’s commercial rate structure.

In a follow-up email, LFM argued that it typically takes more than three months to establish a market -particularly for a monthly market - and referenced advice from other market organisers and the Kent Farmers’ Market Association (KFMA), which suggests six months is a more realistic timeframe for establishment.

Proposal

In response, the proposal is to continue charging £25 per market event for the next six months, with a review of the fee level to be undertaken at that time.

Do Members have any comments or wish to propose alternative approaches?

11.8 Spitals Cross Playground relocation: To receive an update, consider next steps and approve expenditure of up to £250 for updated signage

At the April meeting Members concluded that the Council would not be taking responsibility of the Spitals Playground until the various issues and concerns were addressed by Sevenoaks District Council (SDC).

Outstanding issues including a damaged fence, loose fixing on the multi play frame, missing bin liner, and placement of picnic bench have been addressed by SDC and Ground Staff.

The Town Clerk, Head Groundsman and Open Spaces Officer carried out an inspection of the site on 14 May, and were satisfied with the condition of the playground and that all safety requirements have been met.

New signage will be required for the playground as current signage does not meet The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) guidelines. Upgrading of signs across all playgrounds is in progress to match the style of those at the Recreation Ground. 

Do Members confirm responsibility for the ongoing maintenance of Spitals Cross Playground?

Do Members approve the expenditure of up to £250 for two updated signs for Spitals Cross Playground?

11.9 Edenbridge Gardens In Bloom 2025 update and approve the expenditure of up to £500 for prizes

The Edenbridge Gardens in Bloom competition has now been launched and promoted on the Council's website and social media. Members are reminded that this year's categories will include: 

• Front and back garden.
• Herb/vegetable garden.
• Window boxes and hanging baskets.
• Young gardener.
• Tallest sunflower.
• Unique display to celebrate 130 years of Edenbridge Town Council (could be a celebration garden, rockery, water feature representing the River Eden, garden ornaments that refer to the town etc).
• Peoples choice.
• Youth category: Eggshell cress heads.

Due to staff sickness and increased workloads, prizes have yet to be secured. It is proposed that prizes are purchased this year as opposed to donated. The estimated budget would be up to £500, this would be for eight main prizes and eight runner up prizes.

Do Members approve the expenditure of up to £500 for prizes for the gardening competition?

11.10 Memorial tree for 130 years of Edenbridge Town Council: Update

Members approved the expenditure for a memorial tree to celebrate 130 years of Edenbridge Town Council at the April meeting. It was confirmed that the tree would be planted in Stangrove Park.

Planting of the Liquidambar tree took place in May, it also marks the closing chapter of Councillor Bob Todd’s tenure as Chairman. Below is a link to an article about the memorial tree from the Councils website.

12 Streetlights

12.1 2025-26 Streetlight programme

Reminder of the replacement programme for the current year. Streetlights 55 and 230 were also raised on the annual inspection report for repairs, but as they are on the replacement programme, the interim repairs not needed.

Do Members have any questions?

12.2 Annual maintenance inspection report and approve the expenditure of £365 for repairs

Streetlights has submitted its annual inspection report. Of note for repairs:

• 24 Chestnut Close (2020 column) – Requires new 5m square cornered door - £105 + Vat.
• 52 Four Elms Road  (2020 column) – Broken Secondary Isolation unit, the lantern cable is too short and has pulled through. Un-noticed when pulling the Mains fuse to replace the lantern due to the brambles blocking access and having to do reach in at arms length, thus leaving the damage out of sight. Replace Secondary Isolation unit & rewire £110 + Vat
• 123 Marsh Green (1975 column for future replacement)  – Old worn sign needs removing from the column. Remove sign £45 + Vat.
• 228 Stangrove Road (2020 column) Requires new 5m round corner column door – hit multiple times by vehicles. Column is a little dented to but is ok. Replace Door £105 + Vat

Total expenditure £365 plus VAT. Streetlight repairs budget allows £2,500.

Do Members confirm the repairs to streetlights 24, 52, 123 and 228, and expenditure of £365 plus VAT?

12.3 To ratify the expenditure of £565 for vegetation clearance and cut back to 16 streetlights

As part of the inspection report columns 11, 25, 50, 52, 73, 80, 91, 99, 100, 124, 125, 126, 133, 134, 155 & 158 require pruning and ivy clearance required before Summer. £565.

Do Members ratify the expenditure of £565 for vegetation clearance and cut back to 16 streetlights?

12.4 Streetlight 15 Cedar Drive: to consider replacement lantern or column

Cedar Drive columns are due for replacement, but have been put on hold until the building works by SDC are completed. Do Members want to go ahead with the lantern repair/replacement at £365 or consider bringing forward the column replacement. Costs would need to be requested from UK Power Networks (UKPN) and presented back to committee at its September meeting.

How do Members want to proceed?

12.5 Streetlight 50 Four Elms Road/opposite Fircroft Way: To approve removal of column and expenditure £732 plus UKPN fees for disconnection

The report noted streetlight 50 Four Elms Road (1975 column) column needs removing. This is the only one not removed when the new columns were installed as part of the medical centre building works. It serves no purpose now with a new one in front of it and is lost set back behind the fence in the trees anyway. Remove column (including disposal) £732 plus UKPN costs plus VAT. This column would have been on the replacement programme due to its age.

Do Members confirm removal of column 50 and expenditure £732 plus UKPN fees for disconnection?

12.6 Streetlight 139 Mill Hill approve the expenditure of £4,566 for the replacement column (funded from insurance claim in EMR)

Streetlight 139 was damaged and subsequently removed following a vehicle accident in December 2022. The insurance was received in 2024, and moved into earmarked reserves, £5,444. UKPN quote costs £3,051 plus new column £1,515, total cost £4,566.

Do Members confirm to proceed with the replacement column for 139 Mill Hill and the expenditure form EMR £4,566?

12.7 Streetlight 137 Mill Hill damaged lantern from vandalism, to consider replacement lantern or column, and potential expenditure of £4,318 for replacement column

Streetlights reported in May, the lantern on column 137 (opposite side of the hospital) has been vandalised and requires replacement. However, this column is one that will require replacement as it is on the replacement programme (1975). Members are asked if to consider if they prefer to replace just the lantern estimated cost £400 plus VAT, or as this column is on the replacement programme, to proceed with full column replacement: UKPN works £2,803, new column £1,515. This would result in a budget overspend in 2025/26, but could be split with the vandalism budget.

How do Members want to proceed?

13 Self defence classes for women and girls: To receive an update and consider next steps

At the April meeting Members confirmed to support the funding of self defence classes for women and girls subject to further research through an expression of interest. The Communications Officer created an online form for residents to complete if they were interested in the classes, this was shared regularly on social media and on the Council's website. Posters were also displayed in the towns notice boards, containing information on the classes and a QR code linked to the online form.

The deadline for registering interest was 5pm on Wednesday 21 May. A total of 11 positive responses were received for the 18+ classes, and 6 positive responses for the under 18 classes. The classes were promoted over a four week period, the social media posts reached approximately 1000 people in addition to the website and posters.

A comment was received from a resident suggesting the classes are opened up to girls who are starting secondary school (11+). This was raised with the organiser of the self defence workshop and they have confirmed that the content of the classes is not appropriate for children younger than 13. Primary school age children especially may struggle with the context of the classes.

Members are reminded that the cost was estimated to be £2,940 for a six week course or £2,450 for a five week course, consisting of a one hour session for girls aged 13-17 and a one hour session for women over 18 each week.

How would Members like to proceed? Do members confirm to approve the costs estimated to be £2,940 for a six week course or £2,450 for a five week course?

14 To ratify Edenbridge Rugby Club hosting the frisbee event on 7/8 June

Edenbridge Rugby Club (ERC) has confirmed that the ultimate frisbee event will return this year. The Lease includes provision for charging for additional marking for other occasions: Section 28 (28.1):

(e) The Sports pitches will be marked out by the Landlord at the commencement of the playing season and the marking maintained as required subject to weather conditions. Any additional marking of the sports pitches at other times of the year must be carried out by the Landlord following a formal request by the Tenant and at a cost of the Tenant at the Landlord’s standard charge out rate.

ERC is requesting 10 frisbee pitch markings for the event on 7/8 June. Pitch plan attached.

Do Members ratify ERC hosting the frisbee event and the additional work to the pitches, charged at £75.80 per pitch?

15 To receive a request for the hire of Stangrove Park from Edenbridge Town Band

The Town Band has made a request to hire Stangrove Park on Wednesday 16 July for a performance between 7:00pm and 8:30pm. The hiring agreement has been completed and required documents submitted.

Do Members approve the request for the Town Band to perform at Stangrove Park, at no charge for a community event?

16 To receive a request from Edenbridge Cricket Club to install a new sign

Edenbridge Cricket Club (ECC) has submitted a request for permission to install a purpose-built sign at the entrance to Blossoms Park. The club has proposed two potential designs for the sign, with example images provided for reference.

Option one dimensions 1000mm width by 800mm height with a double aspect design to offer visibility from both directions. Option two dimensions 1000mm width by 800mm height with a single aspect design including sections for inserting letters each week to display fixture dates and opponent names.

Both sign options would be mounted on posts secured into the ground with concrete. The sign will feature a white background, displaying the ECC crest, the club name, and the logos of their main sponsors.

Subject to Council approval, the Club will seek SDC planning authority advice and approval if needed.

Do Members approve of the request to install a sign from ECC? 

17 To receive a request from Nomads Football Club for permission to place a storage container at Mowshurst and demolish existing garage

Nomads Football Club has submitted a grant application to the Football Foundation for funding to install a new storage container at Mowshurst. The proposed location for the new container is the site currently occupied by the existing garage, which is owned by Nomads.

To accommodate the storage container, the existing garage will need to be demolished, including the removal of the roof which contains asbestos. It is essential that these works be carried out by a certified asbestos removal specialist to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations.

Additionally, a skip will be required in the car park area for the disposal of waste materials generated during the demolition process. All costs to be met by the Club.

Do Members approve the demolition of the existing garage (subject to evidence that the work will be carried out by a certified asbestos professional) and permit Nomads to install a new storage container in it's place?

Do Members approve of a skip being temporarily placed in the car park while works are carried out?

18 To receive a request from the Edenbridge Players for the hire of a section of Stangrove Park for a summer production in 2026

The Edenbridge Players have expressed interest in hiring Stangrove Park for an outdoor theatrical production planned for July 2026. Following preliminary site visits, two potential performance areas have been identified, one near the main road and another near the western access from Pine Grove.

The group is considering both daytime and evening performances. Daytime shows would encourage a picnic style audience and reduce the need for power and lighting, while evening performances could offer a better atmosphere. The preferred funding model is through audience donations or grants rather than ticket sales, which would help avoid the necessity of cordoning off sections of the park.

Limited vehicle access to both locations would be necessary, restricted to specific times to minimise disruption.

The Edenbridge Players plan to involve local community groups, including the town band and local schools, with activities such as programme design competitions and opportunities for children to participate in the performance.

As planning is at an early stage, the group seeks the Committee’s initial feedback and guidance before proceeding with formal arrangements. Consideration for Stangrove Park hire fees to be considered later.

Do Members approve of the request in principle from Edenbridge Players to hold its performances at Stangrove Park in July 2025, subject to satisfactory plans, risk assessments and hire agreements?

19 To consider a request from the Edenbridge Community Christmas Association asking Council to apply for an unmetered account with UK Power Networks on their behalf in the Council's name

The Edenbridge Community Christmas Association (ECCA) are proposing to add festive lights to some of the street lights in the High Street as part of their 2025 display. They have experienced some challenges with obtaining an unmetered supply account from UK Power Networks (UKPN) and are requesting that the Council set up the unmetered account with UKPN. The Council will then invoice back to ECCA for the energy costs, plus any connection costs.

A connection offer for an unmetered supply account would be subject to eligibility checks to ensure equipment meets the criteria for an unmetered supply. UKPN may also conduct a site survey to assess the existing network and the suitability of the new connection. 

ECCA would be responsible for damages or faults and ensuring appropriate insurance coverage for installation, maintenance, and public liability, along with checking that the installation complies with all relevant electrical safety regulations, including wiring, fixtures, and load capacity.

ECCA will be responsible for the annual licenses required from Kent County Council to permit Christmas lights on its streetlights.

Do Members approve the request from ECCA for Council to apply for an unmetered supply account with UKPN for use of streetlights in the High Street, with any invoices received invoiced back to ECCA for the full energy costs, including connection costs?

20 Pavilion Water Tanks: Proposal to investigate conversion to mains water and the expenditure of £1,500 for investigation survey

At its May meeting, the Council approved expenditure for sample testing of the five water tanks at the Pavilion for legionella. Following this, the attending engineer reported that the tanks are significantly stagnated and provided a quotation of £1,439 plus VAT to clean and disinfect the tanks.

However, the engineer also recommended that the Council consider commissioning a site survey to explore the feasibility of converting the Pavilion’s water supply to mains water. This approach would eliminate the stagnation issue altogether and legionella testing of the tanks.

The Council is currently in the process of commissioning a detailed survey of the Pavilion building, including existing heating systems, hot water boilers, and associated plant. This survey is being undertaken to inform a specification for the tender of the installation of new heating and hot water systems.

Given the scope of this survey, it is considered timely and practical to also explore the potential for converting to mains water at this stage.

Intrinsic, the independent specialist company previously appointed by the Council to carry out the building survey and develop the specification, has been contacted to provide a quotation for the additional work required to assess the feasibility of mains water conversion. 

At the time of preparation of these meeting papers, a confirmed cost has not yet been received from Intrinsic. However, to avoid delays, members are asked to approve an estimated budget of £1,500 for this additional survey work. It is hoped feedback can then be provide to Council’s July meeting.

Recommendation

Members are requested to consider and approve the following:

• That Intrinsic is instructed to carry out a survey investigating the viability of converting the Pavilion’s water supply to mains water. 
• That a budget of up to £1,500 is approved for this purpose, funding from Buildings Reserves.

Do members support this proposal?
