As in 2013 we received a superb welcome from the city. We continue to ask all attendees to complete an online feedback questionnaire. A good percentage complete this but I would urge all members to take the time to participate. It is incredibly useful to the conference office and FCC and does influence whether we visit a venue again and if we do, what changes we need to try and make. FCC Changes Following the committee elections at the end of last year there were a number of changes to the membership of FCC. Qassim Afzal, Louise Bloom, Sal Brinton, Prateek Buch, Veronica German, Evan Harris and David Rendel either did not restand or were not re-elected. All played a valuable role on FCC and will be missed. We welcome Jon Ball, Zoe O’Connell and Mary Reid onto the committee as directly elected members. FPC have elected two new representatives onto FCC and we welcome back Linda Jack and Jeremy Hargreaves in these roles. Both have previously served on FCC so are familiar with the way we work. One of the FE reps is also new with Kaavya Kaushik joining James Gurling as an FE rep on FCC.

  • Email Between Lynne Featherstone and Elizabeth
    Dear Litha Further to the discussion around possible inaccurate boundaries of MOL in the borough yesterday, I thought it would be useful for the Inspector to see the copy of correspondence between Elizabeth Sutton-Klein and Lynne Featherstone MP,. I think it will help to resolve the question around digital mapping and actual physical boundaries can differ from old historic maps showing open space. I will send the accompanying maps to this email.

As your constituent has outlined there have been a significant number of planning applications for the site, including a very recent application for the erection of a double garage and additional vehicle crossover onto Cranley Gardens, which was refused permission by the Council in February 09 and which is presently subject to a planning appeal.
