To consider the minutes of the meeting held on 23 September 2021.

Councillor Airey commented on the Public Participation section of the minutes.

He said that the footpath seemed to be working well, but still needed finishing and that there had been a problem with a new road sign that had been half hidden in bushes but had since been moved and was now attached to a streetlight so that it could be seen more clearly.
