The Minutes of the meeting held 29 June 2017 were agreed as a correct record and were signed by the Chairman, subject to Councillor R Manchester’s apologies being added.

Councillor L Maddison noted, following her question at the last meeting, the work of Officers in respect to the issue relating to Visit County Durham (VCD) working with the Port of Tyne and that the response she had received was very much appreciated.  She added she would look forward to an update report on progress in due course.

Councillor J Clare asked Members to note that in relation to Chapter Homes and broadband provision, they had made spectacular progress and had arranged for fibre to their existing properties (FTTP) and to new properties they would develop.  He added this would be at speeds of up to 300 Mbit/s and wished to say well done to those involved at Chapter Homes.
