10/018 The agenda was agreed.
10/019 Stuart Brown outlined history and roles of 2008-09 KMSTC Strategy Group and 2009-10 KMSTC Strategy Committee. History and role of TT was additionally discussed. It was agreed that both groups would report back in due course with recommendations as to best way forward.
10/020 Tink Reader astutely summariseda possible way forward for effective TT
- that the TT has a core group
- that the TT is for everyone, with KMS individuals and groups encouraged to join TT meetings for open discussion, and that the TT has a close relationship, "integrated" in some way(?), with the TC Strategy Committee
- that the TT has a manageable number of projects at any one time under "urgent" consideration - agreed in the first instance after publicity and opinion gathering at the Annual Parish Meeting on 14th April
10/021 Chris Ware, to that end (see 019 / 020 above), outlined the appeal of ‘themed’ monthly meetings – referring issues to the relevant statutory authority and ensuring the TT, on behalf of the electorate, monitors thereafter.
