     Cllr. J. Eaton gave the following report.

      Current Events - 1) The ‘new look’ SG met for the first time on Tuesday 28th August.

      The meeting went very well and was generally very constructive.

      2) David King has resigned as Southwick’s Consultant.  His resignation was formally

      accepted at the SG meeting on the 28th August.

      Search is now on for a new Consultant.  Three consultancy practices have been

      approached so far, Fowler Architecture of Pewsey and John’s Associated of Bradford on Avon

      and Whites of Bristol.

      Fowlers attended the SG meeting on the 28th August and has provided an outline estimate

      for their services.  John Associates have subsequently advised of a conflict of interests with

      Wiltshire Council and have dropped out of the running.  We are still waiting to hear back

      from Whites.

      3) Participation at the Annual Village Show.  A really good day, very positive and a lot of

      Support for the NDP voiced by the residents who visited the stall.

      Where we are against plan.

      Three week Residential Consultation Engagement process has completed.  Results of

      Questionnaire and entire Consultation process shared with Wiltshire Council for Screening.

      Should hear back from WC around mid Oct with results of their analysis.  We can then

      Publish documentation on the Parish Council website with all the results from the

      Questionnaire and Consultation Engagement.

     David King’s resignation will slow things down, but is probably happened at the best point of the

     project’s life-cycle as we have a natural pause while Wiltshire Council complete Screening.  But

     overall, we will extend the project timeline by around three months.

    Financial Summary.

    Budget £23,000 .  Grant funding £17,000.  So far spent £12,290.  £4,700 still to be claimed, plus

    £6,000 from Parish Council funds. Cost of new consultant from now until the end of the Plan

    around £8,000.  Future expenditure - more services, advertising costs and printing.

    Cllr. Morland - have all interested parties i.e. businesses, school, agencies and organisations

    been contacted? Answer, still to do.

    59/18   MEMBERS REPORTS.

    Cllr. Pomeroy reported on the recent vandalism in the Playing Field - seat broken and the

    Fort on the mound set on fire.

    Cllr. Pitney commented on the lack of support by the Police.

    Southwick Electoral Division - Southwick are going to be very unhappy with the proposal

    by the Boundary Commission. It was resolved to hold an Extraordinary Meeting on Tuesday

    25th September, 2018 at 6.30pm to discuss this issue.  Cllr. Jackson gave  his apology as he

    Is unable to attend.

    It was also resolved to discuss Doric’s resubmission at this meeting.
