Minutes
The minutes of the last meeting were accepted as a true record. There were no matters arising
Progress
Both Kate Kershaw (Environment)
and Richard Adam (Transport and Accessibility) were on track to complete their respective
workstream information by the deadline of September 20th.
Chris Gosling (Social and
Community) has had to stand down due to pressures from other work and Graham had offered
to complete this section. He has met with
Chris and picked up the paperwork; the deadline for this section should also be met.
Graham will also chase up
Ian Balmer (Economy) to ensure progress here.
Next steps
Assuming this progress is
maintained, Graham thought that we should be close to having a first draft report ready by
the end of December 2006. He outlined that as well as all the factual information the
workstream groups had put together, the report would show proposed actions and priorities
the working and management groups had identified that would go forward to the Parish
Council and others.
Whilst the Community Plan
group/ draft report would identify these priorities and actions, it would normally be the
responsibility of others, whether Parish, Borough or County authority to take forward. The Community Plan’s responsibilities would be
to monitor and subsequently review progress; to act as a
focal point and facilitate discussion and to provide links or advice on
sources of funding for individual projects.
Finance
Chris Turner provided a
comprehensive statement of our income and expenditure to date.
We have received an
application form from our Borough Councillors for funding. Graham had completed this (for
£1,000) and returned it Cllr Annabelle Blackmore.
We have heard nothing
more from Rural Revival Grants, despite providing them with various additional
information. Graham will chase up.
Graham will also ask Joan
Fewkes for a receipt for our £100 for the hire pf the Vestry Hall.
Chris will reimburse
Sally O’Brien the £10.00 loan she made for the Hall hire for the initial meeting.
