  2. Public Meetings
    1. In light of new government Covid-19 restrictions introduced for November it was agreed to postpone the public meetings planned for November. These will now be scheduled for January with specific dates announced in December.
    1. The postponement will be publicized in the following ways; – On the NDP website, via an email to all Cider Press contacts list, via the Hereford Times edition 12th November, posters around the village will be updated by CL.
    1. The advantage of having the public meetings in January will be that the AECOM call for sites guidance will be complete and the questionnaires will have been received with feedback.
