Approved by R.Reid (Chairman) & P.Fearnley (Hon Treasurer) Date: 16th February 2018 Membership Report The Residents Association is highly active in our area but a larger membership would help bring power to the elbow of our representation on your behalf to the local authorities. Let’s try and move the membership forward during 2018.

One way forward is to use the skills of our Wardens in selling membership of the Association in the areas where they operate.

Updating of Rules of the Canford Cliffs and Branksome Park Residents Association I accept it is not the most exciting subject you will ever come in to contact with but it is important that we periodically review, and if necessary amend, our rules and regulations.

Over the past few months a group of members have met to suggest amendments to our rules which were last updated in 2001. A copy of the proposed revised rules have been posted on the Association’s web site. At the meeting I will give a brief introduction to the amended rules and members will be asked Please have a look at them. We will also make copies to approve them. available at the Annual General Meeting in April. John Gunton (Exec member)

Poole local plan examination puts Beach Road car park development option under scrutiny Poole Council has included the car park as a development site as part of its Local Plan submission to the Planning Inspectorate despite continued strong opposition from residents and the Association. The Council proposes up to 60 homes. This action is totally at variance with the overwhelming views of the residents at our last AGM in April 2017. Nevertheless, your Association has submitted representations to the Inspectorate reflecting your views and we have been given the opportunity to present at the Inspectorate’s local hearings in March.
