K. Kelly was paid for 5 hours work, the bill from Cllr Kelly and Val Laycocks time, has yet to be received.

6) Project Plan, still 2 years to go!!!!!!!!

We had good feedback from Heather Suggate,

Can we speed up the process, we are now a month behind.

The draft policy side of the NP is very difficult, we were advised perhaps it would be best to get some professional help to do it.

LCC want to meet the group when the analysis is completed.

7) Mike Dando. We still have 5 and half days left of Planning Aid support.

Mike down to end in March but may be extended beyond. Support will finally run out at end Sept. Any outstanding support days after Mike has gone will be delivered by other people.

After a discussion it was felt that we would employ a professional/consultant to get us through the next stage, this was voted on and passed by all. Probably in April 2015

There is some more money about - a bridging grant, but only available to apply for upto end January and must be spent by end March.

Also a new NP Government Support Programme coming out in April, offering grant ofupto £8000 per NP.
