We sent in a ‘policy paper’ setting out our concerns, and this resulted in a meeting of Ian Mitchell and Ken Hawkins with Tracy Jessop, Assistant Director Highways and Transport. This in turn has led to the setting up of 3 workshops with NCC, also involving people from CPRE, Open Spaces Society and U3A. The first meeting is due just as this Newsletter went to press, so it will be the next edition before we can report further. Ken Hawkins Governance Update Many members have been taking an interest in the governance changes proposed by the governance working group. The trustees are very grateful for the responses received to the consultation from many individuals, groups and areas. The trustees have agreed on a revised set of proposals, based on the feedback received and our own opinions, which will be published soon. However, it was agreed that this year’s General Council does not allow sufficient time to explain the reasoning behind the proposed changes and consult on their implementation, so the changes will be voted on at the 2016 general council, rather that this year’s meeting. The exception to this is “one member, one vote” which received broad support in the consultation, so this alone will be voted on at the 2015 GC Richard May Welcome to a new Area Officer I would like to welcome Julian White to the Area Council, after he was elected as both publicity officer and press officer at the recent Norfolk AGM. He hopes to meet some of you in future walks around the county.
