THE FRIENDS OF NUTSFORD VALE

13th June, 2018 @ The Bluebell Inn, Levenshulme

1.  Regarding the film, usually it is put onto u-tube and then it can be viewed directly or it can be linked onto the Friend of Nutsford Vale web page.
2.  It would cost quite a large sum of money to make the Landcare and Waterboard land up to the same quality as the Matthew's Lane site although the group have already agreed that it would not be feasible to take over the Waterboard land.  Alan wishes the Year 2010 Manchester Council Grant back for the benefit of Nutsford Vale.  The Developer may complain and say they are not taking all of the Vale and thus reduce the money.  The very presence of the building and sporting facilities affects the entire green amenity so the group should press for full repayment.
3.  The repayment to CFNW (Community Forest North West) of the same amount by the developer is another matter which we should be aware of....
4.  The Council have NOT completed the TCPA Decision Matrix that they are required to do by Central Government.  They have also NOT publicised this TCPA Decision Matrix - again they are required to do so.  This is in connection with the Council's failure to provide an EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment).
5.  After the meeting on Wednesday night a member of the Group generously gave £10 to Rita for the rental of the stall at Gorton Carnival.  We are very grateful for this gesture as the money we make at the Carnival helps us fund some of the events which we run successfully throughout the year.
