"Waterside Radio" asked whether the proposed new building would be able to incorporate an antennae in it's design. There is no antennae in the current building. There is no "Waterside Radio".

An "accident report book" was suggested for the office. This was despite there already being an "accident book" (first used on the 17th of April 1984) available. The last time it was used before this mention was in December 1990 when a lady tripped over the carpet in the Inn centre. The book was finally retired in 2010's when the laws changed regarding storage of personal details and accident reporting.

The N.F.D.C's "Local presence" left on Friday 17th of Feb. This freed up D1 and D2. Their final payment was for £704.99. They moved into "The Grove" on South Street along with the H&D Parish Council.
