We have kept an eye on planning and have corrected erroneous planning applications
and prevented problems with incorrect information. MB is going to keep an eye on
planning.

2.8 Police
We have had a useful meeting with community police officers, travelled around the
district by car and showed them some of the problems in our disperate community.
2.9 Challenges ahead - making the hall a success. A management team is required.
Hopefully this will be a useful resource for the community.
