Just back off holidays and being completely rested I thought I had better update the website and our Facebook page. So here’s what’s happening . . .
-
We have our next committee meeting, the first after this year’s AGM, on 13th of August. We will be looking at options for giving our group a more definitive legal structure in order to give us greater flexibility for the future. This could be in the form of, for example, a Community Interest Company or maybe a Charitable Trust or we may decide that we are fine as we are with our current constitution.
-
On the 18th August, Ted and I are meeting Will Wooten of Mott MacDonald at their Cardiff office. Mott MacDonald has been the only company to give us a quote for the GRIP 1 / 2 feasibility study, so hopefully we can firm up on the details with him on that.
-
On the 11th and 23rd of September we are pleased to be participating in the Community Council’s consultation events – more about those in due course.
-
You may recall that the children of Magor Church in Wales primary school wrote to various people in ‘high places’ to ask them to help get a new railway station for Magor and Undy. I have heard that the Welsh Government’s Minister for Economy, Science and Transport, Edwina Hart, being one of the people that received a letter from the children, is planning to visit them at the school in September. I will confirm that when I have more details. Well done children! I am sure the minister will be keen to listen to what you have to say.
-
Also in September (22nd), as mentioned previously, we are holding a promotional event at the Wales 1 Business Park, supported by Monmouthshire County Council. Plenty to do over the next few weeks to make that a success!
So, much to be getting on with! Watch this space (and the Facebook page) for further updates.
