Thank you to all who attended and helped set up the event.

Peter noted he had been in contact with LCC Highways Dept, who had undertaken some surveys and they were sending him details. There was a brief discussion and it was noted that there was a need for some crossing points along the Gledhow Valley Road, particularly at the junction of Allerton Grange Way.
