Minutes of the previous meeting

The minutes of the previous meeting were agreed as a correct record.

Matters arising

Ray Gibbs had contacted the Crusaders After Schools Club and the grant

application had now been successfully pooled. There was no further news

about St Michael's Scouts.

An email had been sent re the Nine Locks Sotokan Club asking for clarity

on the details of their bid. No response had been received.

Grant applications

No new grant applications had been received since the last meeting. It

was agreed that should any be received prior to our next meeting thesewould be circulated to the panel for consideration.

Action Plan

Brierley Hill Community Forum had produced a list of contacts several

years ago. A copy of the contacts had been circulated at the meeting andvia email. It was clear that a number of contacts were now out of date

and there was some question about whether the groups still existed. Itwas agreed that all would look at this prior to the next meeting and let TS

have any contacts/new contacts if that the panel members were awareof. This could then serve as a basis for further consultation.

A trawl had been done of local plans which were already in

existence. Unfortunately it appeared that a great deal of information hadbeen lost when the Neighbourhood Renewal team had been wound

down. The Brierley Hill Area Action plan had local targets with respect to

the physical regeneration of the town. The Community Plan was a

borough wide document and, although there are references to Brierley Hill

within it, there was little of specific value. The Brierleyhillness project had

done specific work which had focused on the town centre.

Dudley Community Partnership had worked with DCVS to look at issues

within the Brockmoor and Pensnett wards. TS gave an update on the work

in that area which provided some interesting insights and it was agreedthat the issues were likely to be similar within Brierley Hill ward. It was

agreed that TS would ask Bridget Brickley for further information on this

project to see if there was anything we could adapt.

It was agreed to have this item on our next agenda. The deadline for

completion of the plan is 31st March 2013.

Any Other Business

There was no other business.
