Present: – Ruth Dolman, Andrew De La Haye, Bob Puzey, Chris Barron, Leigh Russell Bill Bloxsome
1. Review of Article, lead in Newsflashes and where they will appear.
ARTICLE: As we have received further site submissions it was agreed to revise some of the text which has become inaccurate as a result. Ruth Dolman suggested 2 of the paragraphs could be reworded and combined to improve the flow and Andrew agreed to look at revising the final paragraph regarding where the presentations will be available and add a tear off section for anyone who wants a hard copy to post back to the Clerk with a self addressed envelope. Some details on the timeline and number of presentations still need to be added which should be decided by the committee at their next meeting.
ACTIONS: Ruth to forward copy for the combined paragraphs to Andrew. Andrew to revise the final paragraph, make other adjustments and add a tear off section at the end.
NEWSFLASHES: Chris suggested moving No. 2 to after No. 4. This suggestion was agreed. Ruth suggested three means to send comments. i.e. by email to the NDP email address, by letter to the Clerk, and via the comments form on the NDP website.
ACTION: Bob to add in the means to send in comments and change the order.
LOCATION FOR PUBLICATION It was agreed that publication would be made on the websites, on the weekly newsletter and on FaceBook Bill suggested that we could put notices up on the notice boards at Hom Green, Bishopswood and Walford to promote the presentations too. A suitable notice will be looked at, at a future meeting.
ACTION: Ruth to add to the next agenda.
2. PPT Presentation The working group ran through the presentation with Andrew narrating the script. It was felt that it was too long. It was decided that removing some of the text from some slides and adding the detailed text to the script would improve the flow and shorten the presentation. Bill will look at removing some of the crowded slides. It was also felt that we need an introduction and closing
to the presentation which Ruth will work on and forward to Andrew. Ruth and Andrew will work
on the revised script together prior to the next meeting.
ACTION: Bill to revise the slides and forward to Andrew.
Ruth to send an initial draft for the introduction and closure to Andrew.
Ruth and Andrew to work on the script prior to the next meeting.
3. Questionnaire
It was decided that we would look at the questionnaire once we have a near complete
presentation for the housing options. Bob is still collating the various views for Leigh to
commence work on the page on iconic views.
ACTION: Bob to continue collating and forward views to Leigh when ready.
4. Live Presentations
Bob had circulated a very detailed report on the complexities of different platforms and we
discussed the various options in detail. It was agreed that the best way would be a combination
of Zoom and YouTube. We will need to do some practice runs to get familiar with this method
and it was suggested that we invite councillors to act as our audience on a trial run to get
feedback.
ACTION: Bob to arrange trial runs when we are ready to trial.
5. Date for next meeting – 7pm Tuesday 26 January 2021 online.
