Minutes:
The Chairman announced that the Friends of Abberd Brook had been given an award for their hard work at the Voluntary Sector Services Awards. The group thanked the Area Board for their nomination and said it had been a great honour to be shortlisted and runner up.
Francis Bosworth fed back on the grant awarded by the Area Board towards a clean up day. The event had been well publicised and a big success. Thirty eight people from a wide range of backgrounds had come to help and two skips of rubbish had been removed from the brook. Work was ongoing and on 23 October a clean up group removed one skip of rubbish. Volunteers were doing this work on a regular basis and this helped enormously to keep the brook clean and tidy.
