9 Housing survey: The extra questions will be needed from the July meetings of both councils. We will then need to meet in July to discuss the questions. Possible dates: Tues. 24th July/Wed 25th July at the Church House.

He will also find out whether both Councils are to fill out a Survey Commissioning Form to go to CCD, or individual councils. Action PA
