Treasurers report

Nick reported a balance of £253 34 in hand as at 17/01/2005.

[£200.00 being a loan from the Shoreham Parish Council]

The Paris Clerk has confirmed that a cheque for £642-25p has been received from the CA. This brings their contribution to approximately 66% of our expenditure to date.

Action plan

John Keates and Nigel Britten tabled the draft action plan for discussion

The Chairman thanked John and Nigel for their hard work in preparing the draft report.

John and Nigel pointed out that this was a working document and that the proposed action points were in random order at this time, and no particular importance should be attached to the order of presentation.

The proposed action plan was considered item by item and several amendments were agreed. These amendments were to be included in an amended copy, together with an introduction to be written by Sylvia.

It was agreed that this document will then be distributed to the group members for comment.

These comments would be taken into consideration in the preparation of the final document.

Jan Illey requested that it be recorded in the minutes that in her view the action plan should be driven by the results of the analysis and not by member's selection, Jan was therefore worried about the integrity of the action plan.

Publication of the action plan

The report and action plan would be published on the Parish Council and the SPPG websites. A copy of the analysis is already available on these websites.

The report and action plan would be published in hard copy; the final format would depend on the funding available. Sevenoaks district council are willing to provide a disc of the map used on the cover of the questionnaire

It was agreed that this map should be used on the cover of the final report, together with the logo of the Parish Plan Group to provide continuity..

It was agreed that hard copies of the questionnaire, analysis, report and action plan would be available for inspection at the Parish Council meetings, and the Parish Meeting

Monitoring of the agreed action plan

It was agreed that the action plan would be introduced at the Parish Meeting in May 2005, and progress reviewed at each subsequent Parish meeting

Correspondence

No correspondence was received.

Date, place and time of next meeting

It was agreed that no further meetings would be arranged at this time, as the committee had effectively finished its work.

However it was agreed that another meeting could be called, if necessary to discuss the publication of the final document.

The Chairman thanked all the members for their hard work throughout the duration of this project.
