Minutes of previous meeting. John Wiltshire opened the meeting. All agreed the minutes of the meeting held on March 28th were a true and accurate record and they were signed by John. 2. Matters arising. Muff thanked all those who had taken part in the buildings survey and delivery of the information sheets. From the information received she produced a draft summary of the property types in the neighbourhood and copies were circulated. Positive responses had been received from the public with nothing negative to date. John thought this exercise and groups of people working together gave a real sense of community involvement in the Neighbourhood Plan. 3. Reports from working groups. Reports had been received and circulated from each of the groups. Further to these each reported as follows: a) Economic – Martin reported that the group had looked at baseline information for housing, business and tourism and the issues arising from each topic. For example, tourism, what resources do we have and how can we improve them? Housing, what type of housing do we need? Business, what already exists and what others would we encourage/discourage? b) Infrastructure – Jill reported that the group had focussed on areas to research and members had already put a lot of effort into getting information on transport, utilities and mapping.
