Chairman's Announcements

Minutes:

Durham Heritage Coast

 

The Chairman reminded Council that in 2010 Durham Heritage Coast was awarded the UK Landscape Award and was put forward to represent the United Kingdom into a European competition.  The Chairman was pleased to announce that the Durham Heritage Coast had achieved special European recognition as being one of the three entrants honoured with a formal ‘Special Mention’ for its work in the prestigious Landscape Award of the Council of Europe competition.

 

To be one of the leading four Europe-wide initiatives worthy of recognition by the Council of Europe was both a very special and major achievement, which was only made possible by the efforts of the hundreds of people who had played their part in the transformation of this piece of coast.

 

Resolved:

That the Council place on record its appreciation to everyone concerned.

 

 

Members’ Seminars Questionnaire

 

The Chairman informed the Council that a questionnaire seeking their views on Members’ Seminars and communications had been circulated.  He asked that Members complete the questionnaire for colleagues in the Member Development Team.
