PPN member groups from around the County |
| Two excellent presentations – the first one was from Bernadette Guest – the Council’s Heritage Office. The presentation covered the Council’s Heritage Plan time line and the input (and possible funding opportunities) wanted from the community. JH has asked the 2 PPN reps on the Heritage Forum for their feedback on the process – there will be interest in this from PPN members. (Please ask John if you would like a copy of Bernadette’s presentation)
The second presentation was from Alan Walsh from the Local Authority Water and Communities Office (LAWCO). This is a new body looking at managing our water resources – rivers, sea, lakes etc. Alan is also interested in making contact with PPN member groups who have an interest – Tidy Towns etc. I’m still waiting for a copy of Alan’s presentation and plan to send copies to PPN members who I can think of who will be interested – please let me know if anyone wants a copy of this presentation – well worth having a look. Ivan Cuddihy from Trees for Life has kindly offered to take over coordinating the Linkage Group from Alan Walshe – we will look at linking in with a member group meeting for our next meeting – probably in the City. Coordinating with a member group AGM tends to generate a better attendance that a standalone meeting. Ivan and John will liaise on planning our next Environment Linkage Group meeting.
