Future Action Mornings Proposed dates and tasks (subject to change):
Alison Finch has started work on the Management Plan following a walk in the woods. She will bring the plans for discussion at the FGVW meeting in April. The Methodist Church Hall has been booked on 17th April for the wider public consultation with the community, Wade's Charity and Local Councillors. It has been booked for 6-9pm with a proposal for a 7.30pm start. The Group need to start publicising it and encouraging people to complete a questionnaire. The suggestion for a new silt trap to be built to capture silt down the beck above the island has been agreed with a hydrologist. The Group will pay for some drawings to be done for the silt trap and surrounding area. There is currently a concrete base running between the traps. It is hoped to direct the silt towards the banks in one place where it will be easier to clear out. The LAG have reminded Duffy's that they need to clear the second trap by the end of the week otherwise we lose the £2,000 grant we were given for this purpose. The LAG have now engaged Rachel Moore, a Masters student studying hydrology, to look into the issue of water quality and how to prevent silting. She will be attending the Action Morning this week and the community consultation. Work continues on the expression of interest for the Heritage Lottery Grant. Work is underway looking at a budget of around £350,000. Steve J-B is looking at the VAT situation. Many of the local community groups have expressed an interest. This is available on the FGVW website and will be reviewed at the AGM. 8. New Meadow/Triangle Meadow at End of the Lake The Woodland Trust has provided some seeds and plugs which can be put in once the area has been levelled. The Group also need to order some more. The AGM will be on Tuesday 27th March at 8pm at Gledhow Sports & Social Club to receive reports and elect officers and trustees. Altofts and Normanton Brass Band has been confirmed by Leeds City Council to appear as part of the Bands in the Park initiative.

The MICE money application needs to be in by Wednesday 21st March as Council assets will then be frozen pending the elections.
