Small group working on the project MS / PA / ID.
ID has drawn up a list of potential sites, he and Peter to put some text around these. MS send out the document for P&F members to review and add other sites they feel should be considered.
Looking at ways of developing both an App and a Heritage trail Map.
PHall has sent a couple of contact points that may be able to help us deliver this project.
Overall cost is more likely to come in around £5k/£6k but this was still felt an important project for the development of our visitor economy and footfall in the town centre.
