Matters Arising:                                                                                                                    3.1 Wish list is now in in-trays.  And also on the elist available for general comment.  Then it will be presented to the council.  Maintenance of cycle lanes should be added to our list.  And ensuring that dropped kerbs are installed wherever cycle lanes leave and rejoin main carriageway.
  4. Internet Access Issues:

     4.1: Problems with old website: Matt undertook to look into our continuing problems with running our current website alongside the old, inactive one, which still supersedes newer one on a Google search.    Matt has some knowledge of how Google rankings work and might be able to ensure .co.uk address comes up first with some tag saying this is the official site.  While Matt looks into this we will put on hold using cash to rectify this.

    4.2 Answering comments: John asked if we take pains to respond to FB queries and comments on the website. It was felt that we had been doing so fairly promptly and will continue to make sure we do.
