a)  Risk Register
The Clerk has no changes to make to the Risk Register. 

b)  General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR)
No changes are recommended and there are no reports of any breaches. 

c)  Parish Council elections
Elections were held on 4th May 2023.  There was no election called and there is 1 (one) vacancy to be filled by co-option.   There has been one expression of interest in becoming a Cllr and if the legal requirements are met, a co-option can take place at the meeting.

d)  Environment Act 2021 (EA21)
In an email to Cllrs on 27.11.23, the Clerk informed Cllrs that the EA 21 is enhancing the duty a parish council has to consider the environment in its decision making; it is now putting the environment front and centre of the Council’s decisions.

The priority areas are—
(a)air quality;
(b)water;
(c)biodiversity;
(d)resource efficiency and waste reduction.

There will be a need to evidence in a document what has been done to increase bio diversity and a need to produce policies and plans to demonstrate this; it is recommended by DALC that the environment is an agenda item each month.  The document produced by the council should be in place by 1st January 2024 stating what the parish council has done to consider and improve biodiversity.  As a start and given that we do not have a formal document and following advice by DALC, make a resolution to say that the Council will give a declaration of intent by reviewing its policies in light of the EA21 but there needs to be actions arising from this resolution as soon as possible.  

The Clerk has provided Cllrs with a draft statement of intent and a useful parish council pack provided by NE Derbyshire Borough Council
