 Council section, and we have Mark Knuckert, who's town clerk for North Stoke Town Council, and tech councillor Carla Ross-Sabria. Hello, hello Mark, hello Carla. Over to you. Good evening, thank you. I'll start off and then head over to councillor Carla Ross-Sabria. I'll quickly share the PowerPoint, one moment please. There you go, hopefully that all works for everyone. That's why I want to start. So yeah, today for the town council we have a quick update on three key items that are currently in the planning or very important for the town council and the community. I'll quickly talk about the upcoming town council elections, have information about the Jubilee weekend in June, and then hand over to councillor Carla Ross-Sabria about the developments towards a market for North Stoke. So first of all about the elections. On the 5th of May there won't be just district council elections but also town council elections. So we really, the town council really want people to come forward from the community who are passionate about the community really wants to make this an even better place to live, work and play. And so the joining, yeah, together working together over the next four years to make this happen. There are currently 15 seats, 15 councillors making up the town council, so all seats for clarity, they're up for elections again. It's time it will be for four year term, so May last year the town council was just done for one year, but now will be for a four year period. What you would have to do if you're interested is go to the South Games website specifically around for the elections that's on the screen. And there's a nomination form to be filled in and there's lots of instructions there how to fill the in correctly. And the key to notice that, that nomination form has to be handed in in person at the South Games, the district offices in Kenborn on working days to be next week and Monday the 28th of March up to the 5th of April by 4pm in the afternoon and there will be no exceptions to that. And one can make an appointment to, to when we want to hand it in, and that's that's recommended as well to the emailers on the screens to see if you want to do that. I can also be as time clock and also bring the your nomination form in on your behalf. You can email me as well as hard copies if you want if you can't print them off yourselves. I can also be on the screen on Thursday, the next week Thursday between 6.30 and 7.30 as well as Friday morning between 10 and 11. I can take your filter nomination form. I cannot check the nomination form just be aware to really be your responsibility, but I can be the courier bringing there, and it will be checked by the district council, and I can make sure that it's then handed over properly. And I'll call as well that if you are not already registered to vote please please do so because obviously it's very important that even if you're not standing for elections, you are going to vote that we would really encourage everyone to do so. And there's some really good information about the elections and finding out what beer council means on the NARC website, on the we've got some information on our town council website as well on the news items. There's quite a lot of links there, and please contact me as well by email or through the website you can find other ways of contacting me as well if you've got any questions at all about this. I would rather quinch to believe the town council wishes to lead on an event and working really with a lots of community groups and individuals to make this a really special events during the quinch to really weekend in on and focusing on the fifth of June. So a working group of a number of councillors working hard to get a package together and has already started talking to lots of groups. And I also have some information on the screen about the long sentence and district heritage society, not so arts, not so social there, food, food trucks, not so foodies, potentially being for sustainable north stone. We really want people to come forward with more IDs and really making this a bring your own street party, a lovely time to share things in a nice time with you hopefully planning to do this near the wing on the busway hopefully, or in that area to be confirmed. So this is space for more information, we will share it with the community as soon as we got a more detailed plan. And with that, I'll hand over to Councillor Carla for the next bit of the presentation. Thank you, Mark. I hope you can hear me well. Yes. Okay, good. So good evening everyone. Thank you for having me. I'm going to give you a quick update on the work that we've been doing within the events and markets committee in developing a market. So the town council. We are looking at establishing a regular market in Nostal. And we set up a working group to work on that and the first step that we thought was was crucial to do was asking the community, what actually, what do we want to have. So, so that's why I'm here to talk about so the market survey so we launched the market survey to gather the interest to see whether people want to market and if so, whether it will be a really frequent market or just once a month. So if you want to ask information about the type of products and stores that would have whether their preferences in terms of location in the outdoor, and another comments like site facilities and also other, other comments that people might have on ideas. So we launched the survey online in mid February. We also distributed a paper copy to all the households, and that should have landed with your beginning of March. And an important point here is that the survey will close on the 27th of March, which is really soon, so you have just like five more days to give us your input. So it's really urgent to do so. So on the next slide, we will see how the survey looks like online and also in the paper form. So we can see the next slide please. So to access the online survey. Here is the link, but it's also available in the Nostal in the Nostal in the time council website in the news pieces. There will be the link there and there are some posters around the community where you can use the QR code or the link. And the benefit of using the online survey also that you can actually use translation tool if English is not your first language, like you can use the translation tools from the browser so that's something. So we have on the right you can see how the online survey looks. I mean, as I said, these, the items I mentioned before it's the main questions is really short, but try to keep it to the point. We have also a picture on how the paper version looks that you should have received at home. And, and you can drop it at the community wing there is a, there's a box there by the entrance. So if you still have your copies in there bring them to the wing. I believe on Friday. There will be community developers, officers there so you can bring it there if you still want to give us your input. So now next steps after we gather all the Intel and the views from the community will be what to do. So actually, I'm really pleased to to report that we have had as of today more than 500 replies so that's a jing like that it's been really engaging so we're really happy with this. But after that we will, we'll have to sit down and look at a concrete plan and business plan, and based on the input that we've had from from the community. And then we'll have to take the next steps and look at what paper work we need to do. We have to liaise with stakeholders and we'll have to do a lot of work, the working group and the committee and then pass on the council. There are many things that need to happen. We might, I mean, with the aim is to be able to pilot a market in the summer, but we will have to pass the button to the new council because I might just say we have elections in May so we'll have to, we'll try to get everything ready as much as we can, before the term ends. And I would like to thank especially the community development officers and and the business development team in South Cambridge district council they have offered a lot of support and in in this process and they are really happy with the offering, not only in the survey which they have self commit has has facilitated but also in, in lots of information and guidance on on how to set up a market which is not, it's not an easy task. I would also be looking at this preparatory work and how we can link these and how are the relation, the coordination of the vision for phase two, just to have some thoughts on that. And, and, and also if there are going to be any temporary infrastructures for the community. So, lots of us to bring these all together. So now just promoting the survey he was there to use and that's an update. And if there are any questions, happy to take them. Thank you Carla. 500 responses so far that's pretty good going on today. Very good. Okay, thank you Carla and thank you Mark. Questions for on any town council business. This is from Mike ox long. And it is, are there any inside venues being explored for the market. Carla. Yeah, yeah so I take this at the moment. Yeah we are keeping all doors open we haven't done any steps forward into looking at particular places but we have made this call in mind that we like some some facilities that could be used for indoor. Indoor venues if we had indoor market. Okay, thank you. Okay, I'm just going to give a few seconds just in case there anybody frantically typing questions in. I think probably we can move on.
