REPORT FROM WILTSHIRE COUNCILLOR – IBP
(IBP) The Amesbury area board have been liaising with the MOD across the Eastern half of Salisbury Plain Encompassing Bulford Larkhill Tidworth Garrisons. The idea is to hold regular informal meetings with a dedicated member from the Garrison to improve the understanding of how the military work within the area. This will allow any complaints/ ideas to be fed through one source.
The next formal Area board meeting will be on line, after this the formal meetings will be in person to allow decision making, rewriting ten-year plan and other Council matters. The subset meetings that are informal and idea forming meet in between the formal four area board meetings.
The informal Paths4 all meeting will be held Friday 10th September 2021.
(DG) To share the meeting information on social media to reach as many people as possible.

REPORT by the Clerk
(SL) The two notice boards in Fittleton and Haxton are proving very difficult to post documents into.

SL to measure up each notice board and price up the cost.
