Minutes – the minutes of the last meeting were
accepted as a true and proper record.
Matters
arising – CS, GR and MF had met to discuss the
constitution. The group needs to become
a registered charity and the matter of trustees was discussed. We continue to have a need for wider
community involvement. GR raised the
possibility of forming a federation to represent all disability groups within
the borough and appointing a development worker. We discussed ways of achieving this – through
HVA possibly. IR said that he and his
wife would begin to contact other organisations. SL said she would contact past pupils and ask
other special school heads to do the same.
SL will approach HBC regarding planning permission
for the container at Chesnut Lodge.
The Runcorn Club will open on 9 October at Brookvale Recreation Centre. The club will meet weekly from
Halton Information Exchange has arranged a Disability awareness raising evening on October 7 at Kingsway. There is some confusion over the organisation
so far as it affects the Sports Club. IJ
has sent a note to parents concerned.
Community Empowerment Network
– LW asked for a member
of the Forum to be nominated to serve on the Halton Together panel. The Forum would also need to be a member of
Halton Together. Ian Rigby volunteered
to do this. The panel enables local
people to take part in decision making by the Strategic Partnership.
