1. Minutes of meeting of 11th December approved
2. Matters Arising: J. Hodge gave a report on the meeting with LBS representatives re terms of reference for Community Forum. Concern expressed that the three CWC representatives appeared to take different viewpoints at the meeting on some issues. Was particular concern because draft terms of reference had been circulated for comment. Only two people made comments and these were incorporated..
It was felt that the definition of the consultation area should be confined to the Surrey Quays Peninsular and not include areas on Southwark Park Road. This could not be raised again with the Council unless LBS indicates they are not happy with parts of the draft terms of reference.. If that opportunity arises should press for a definition as originally outlined - the area along the river bounded by the Rotherhithe Tunnell roundabout, Lower Road and Plough Way.
Concern was also exoressed that the terms of reference as agreed give LBS 4 representatives plus another as a principal landowner - may be an officer. This appears to create a conflict of interest
At the end of the discussion the meeting agreed the following:
As a result of recent events at the meeting with LBS the entire Steering Committee strongly feel that any persons representing CWC should put forward the majority view agreed by the Committee and present this to external parties as a united front. Anyone adding their own personal view should seek agreement by the committee at a meeting.
Warefront Newsletter: noted had not yet been published. Not clear when will be.
Budget; Agreed to defer discussion until K. Leung returns
Vision: CWC statement discussion underlining urgency now of drafting a mission statement.
Mori Poll: noted should be available end of January Berniece to chase.
Community Worker: Letter sent to LBS. Told by LBS that too late for CWC to have any input. Noted LBS had been interviewing on 3.1.01. View expresses that CWC would like to meet the new person ASAP.
Office Development Needs: No specific extra needs at present. Noted had received £215.10 donations. Office coping at moment. Database will be updated. D.B. to speak to T&T - computer expert to check system and software.
