Agreement of Previous minutes were agreed. last minute Total Place Pilot – Bryan said someone may come along to one of our meetings. It had been felt that a small target area in Fraserburgh had been portrayed in a poor light at the Community Planning Partnership Meeting where ‘Total Place’ concept was discussed. Bryan felt it was quite stigmatic although Christine thought Cheryl would be upset if she thought that was how it was being portrayed.

Training Session on Evaluation – Christine agreed to put something together for the next meeting.

Action Welcome Bryan welcomed those present and read out apologies.
