/B<3.>Living Streets
David Early, Branch Development Officer
presented information about LWF becoming a local branch of Living Streets.
Principally that it would be a local group that can draw upon the expertise of
Living Streets. It could be the campaigning arm of LWF. (More info about the
benefits listed in the minutes of Dec meeting)
Need 3 people that are members of Living Streets
who are willing to stand as officers of the local branch.
Constitution of a local branch of Living Streets
to be distributed before the next meeting.
David posed the question "What do you want to
achieve - How can we help you?"
Further discussion and, hopefully, a decision to
be made at the next meeting.
4.Jenny stated that it is important that the
group decide a structure for the group and agree some responsibilities as
having initiated the LWF she is not able to continue with the same level of
input which now needs to be shared.
