Matters arising ​

• nothing

Planning

• We discussed the rejection of the retrospective application for double glazing at 38 Oakmount. JM to try and speak to the applicants.

Conservation

• We discussed the Annual Report. This starts from the Conservation Group. JM to start a meeting of the group. The membership is Margot Eardley, Mandy Smith, Pete Thomas, Rob Heather and the Chair (ex officio). They needed to discuss the 5 year review.
• There was a discussion of the new Neighbourhood Areas and whether CA’s were superseded by this process.

Parking

• The issue of parking on the pavement seems to be resolved
• We need to prepare a verbal brief for the AGM about parking. Anecdotally the parking has become worse in Crofton Close following the introduction of the Residents’ Garden scheme.

NHW

• We need to find a new coordinator. Michael Radcliffe is retiring at the AGM.

Social Events

• The AGM is planned for Friday 26^th April in the Avenue Hall, dependent on availability
• It is still planned to hold an OTRA lecture
• Following discussion by the group who organised the 2012 Street Party it was seen as too soon to hold a summer event this year.

AOB

• There is a meeting about planned changes to cycle paths and Lover’s Lane. JM to attend.
• OTRA still needs to find some new committee members and a new secretary.
