Matters Arising - The Minutes of the last meeting were agreed and accepted
as a true record of the proceedings
Report from Steering Group - KR reported on the special meeting of the
Steering Group and listed suggestions concerned with car parking,
driveways, and surface materials raised at that meeting. It was stated
that the Low Speed Zone will be gated at the main entry points, and humps
as a speed reduction measure would be avoided if possible in favour of
special markings and marked shapes, etc.,
Discussion ensued about the merits or otherwise of the installation
of humps on some
the roads to the north of the A259.
1. Low Speed Zone Workshops - A leaflet / newsletter was distributed to all
residents inviting them to attend the workshops being held on Thursday
24th , Friday 25th, and Saturday 26th July. KR reported on the plans and
ideas for the workshops. A prize draw would be organised for the children
attending the workshops.
2. CPG Name Change - A special meeting of the CPG "Officers" had been
convened to select 3 names for the Group to choose from, based on the
guidance given at the previous meeting. The offerings were : Pevensey
Ward Community Action Group, Pevensey Ward Improvement Group, and
Pevensey Ward Support Group. Debate ensued, during which it was suggested
that "Orchard" should also be included, as part of the affected area is
in the Orchard Ward. Finally the new name selected for the CPG was
Pevensey Orchard Community Action Group.
3. CGP Constitution - The need for a Constitution was again discussed and
re-enforced. It is necessary for the group to be legally recognised in
order to obtain funding in its own right for additional works. A sub-
group of the CPG is to look at a nominated web site and meet to discuss
possible ideas for a constitution before the next meeting.
4. Social Event - VM announced that he has not been able to secure the use
of the Newtown Social Club for the end of July. It will be available for
late August or early September. The event will span an afternoon and
evening. KR will investigate whether WSCC would be able to cover part of
the cost of the event.
5. Street Reps / co-ordinators - KL of SRA had volunteered to follow-up
this item but due to preparations for the workshops had not yet done so.
This item was deferred to the next meeting.
6. Any Other Business ( AOB ) - It was stated that enquiries had been
received from residents during the distribution of the workshops leaflets
that some of them would find copies with larger print easier to read. It
was resolved that a few enlargements of the current leaflets would be
made available, and in future larger copies would be automatically
printed as part of the main batch to be distributed to any visually
impaired residents who requested them. Dave Benham was elected Assistant
Secretary with immediate effect.
7. Date of Next Meeting and Venue - The date of the next meeting was set
for 13th August 2003 at the previous meeting, and the venue will be Vince
McCabe's house, at 18 Frith Road, Bognor Regis, starting at the usual
time of 7.00 pm.
Please note that this will be the first meeting of Pevensey Orchard
Community Action Group ( POCAG ).
