of path furniture had been in abeyance while Rose had been on
secondment but could now receive further attention.
(Action: Rose Wicks)
- A spreadsheet showing
suggestions for the creation of new paths, recreational routes and
links had been prepared by the Chair, based initially on the five
routes suggested by Richard Mosses and the Cabbage Hill link
proposal. This could be updated with
further suggestions that may come forward from time to time and, if
circulated as an annex to the meetings of each meeting, could be
kept under review.
(Action: Chair/Graham Pockett)
- Action on publicity
around new SANGs opening, keeping website news items up to date and
more use of social media had been limited while Rose had been on
secondment but could now receive attention.

- David Warren had
liaised with Rob Solomon about TRF assistance with clearing
overgrown byways. A survey of all

potholes where required.

liaison between the British Horse Society and David Warren about
local routes and events was carried forward.

members who had volunteered (adding Councillor Brossard) about a
suitable date.
