NOVEMBER RESIDENTS MEETING (Part 2) - Monday 10th November at the New Lamp, Bankbottom, Hadfield, 8.00pm prompt.

TINTWISTLE AND HADFIELD RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION

Meeting at the New Lamp, Bankbottom, Hadfield, Monday 10th November at 8.00pm.
Following last week's highly entertaining but time consuming meeting at which Cllr. Chris Webster responded to Ralph Bennett's letter to the press, we decided to suspend the business part of the meeting until the following week. So we will do it all again, same time, same place (the New Lamp, Bankbottom, Hadfield, Monday November 10th at 8.00pm prompt).
An action packed Agenda with lots having happened during the last month and lots of topics to discuss. If you haven't been to one of our meetings before, please feel free to attend, we don't bite and our meetings are open to all.

AGENDA ITEMS

1. Apologies

2. (a) Post meeting feedback response from Cllr. Chris Webster.

(b) Invitation from Tom Levitt M.P. to attend “Communities In Control” – a discussion on the Govt. White Paper.
(c) Invitation from Dai Larner (Strategic Director – Planning and regeneration) to set up a meeting to address issues regarding the councils planning service and anything else we would like to cover. Progress! See also Item (4) below.
(d) A response to Ralph Bennett from Tintwistle Parish Council.

3. Matters Arising/Outstanding Business
(a) Postal dispute.
(b) Litter under Tintwistle Bridge.

4. Meeting with Dai Larner – Finally Mr Larner has agreed to meet us over the various planning issues we have raised over the past couple of years. The recent discovery of a cannabis plant on Rossington Park seems to have confirmed our fears about lax planning procedures. Hopefully this is an opportunity to set matters right. We need to suggest dates, times and delegates for proposed meeting.

5. Dig Hadfield – with our help a new group has been founded whose point of focus will be to campaign for allotments in Hadfield. News and update.

6. Sustainable Communities Act. Potentially useful tool for grass roots involvement in community issues. We are campaigning for the council to opt-in or we cannot use it. Progress report and correspondence to date.

7. Safer Neighbourhood Meeting – report back from Pat Bennett.

8. Fundraising re: Bradbury House Xmas stall.
9. Announcements.
10. Any other business.
END

We always aim to close business by 9.30pm but as always feel free to stay for a chat and a drink afterwards.
