Issue - meetings

To receive updates from the Town and Parish Council Representatives, and from other partner organisations, including outside bodies on which the Area Board is represented.

The Chairman referred to the updates set out in the agenda and invited further updates from Town/Parish Councils and other Partners, including outside bodies.  It was noted that the preferred option was for written updates, to minimise time spent during the meeting.

Councillor Graham Wright gave an update on behalf of Durrington Swimming Pool Management Committee.  It was considered that the withdrawal of free swimming for under-16s and over-60s would have an impact although it was too early to say what this would be.  The pool had also recently installed new powersaving lights, which should reduce energy costs on lighting by 50%.
