5. Traffic Calming

6. Visit of Denise Preston & Fred Duff

Martin reported back on their visit. They toured all areas of the wood. Fred Duff said he would give the group details of Green Leeds funding for an application for funds. They informed Martin that Steve Joull, from Middleton Park, would become new liaison officer and Martin has arranged to meet him in the near future to look at support for the group as well as invite him to our next meeting.
Leeds will still provide materials for action mornings.
