2.2 This agenda item provides an opportunity for the Forum to be updated on activity since the previous meeting.
3.0 District Council Liaison
3.1 The following updates have been provided by Rachel Connolly:
Catterick Garrison – Talks ongoing about expansion with Richmond – our input is not required at the moment.
A1 - Continues to frustrate with communication at an all time low. Some of the issues depend on collaboration with North Yorkshire County Council and there has been no responses to enquiries. Covid has much to answer.
3.2 The following updates have been provided by Will Scarlett:
Craven - Reported on the Craven District Council Draft Revised Statement of Community Involvement for Planning, and currently checking 4 Craven District Council consultation policies (as listed in Secretary’s update report).
Sub-Group work– Produced a report on regional reporting mechanisms for rights of way issues, which was submitted on 29 December 21 for onward transmission to Countryside Access Manager
4.1 Nominated representatives are invited to report verbally on any other activity undertaken since the last meeting.
