Minute no. 35 (iv) - It was highlighted that a £13,000 fee is payable to BMBC Enforcement Services, this is pro rata across all Area Councils.  A detailed breakdown will be provided.

Minute no. 38 – All Members were asked to keep potential news stories in mind for the next edition of the Community Magazine.  Content should be submitted by the end of April for July distribution.  A working group will need to be established.  Some concerns were expressed regarding advertising placement, as the Area Council did not want to appear to be endorsing particular organisations.  Problems were experienced with magazine delivery, as the postcode method didn’t seem to have worked. Other delivery options will be explored.

Minute no. 41 – Members were reminded that the closing date for applications for the next round of Stronger Communities Grant funding is 12^th February.
