He also asked that we somehow plot the postcodes from questionnaire respondents to show we have a good mix across the Parish. JT also asked that we all increase our use of the Website again as it had an audit trail. We also have to involve the Parish Council more. DP agreed to report what we are doing to them at the next and subsequent Parish Council Meetings. With regards to the referendum GT suggested that the council may look to hold this at the same time as the 2014 Local elections to save on costs
