4. To consider progress in regard to following main issues

a) Boningale Homes development of the Land East of Shaw Lane
Mark Yeoman had kindly sent us copies of the Display Boards from their exhibition. The information received was discussed. The Society generally supported the scheme but had some comments for the developer ‘s consideration which may help improve some of the details and avoid some objections by residents.
ACTION RS was asked to make a formal list of all points discussed and agreed. - See the separate document sent to BHL

b) Albrighton Place Plan
The Society wanted the Plan to include:-

i) A request that a Comprehensive Review of Traffic Issues in the District be Undertaken

ii) A request that the Public WC be reinstated.
It is understand that:-
1) The land is owned by Marstons and including the WC building.
2) A lease is about to be signed  between Marstons and SC. PW thought that such a lease would include any buildings on the land.
