My summary of key points from tonight’s meeting:

Business and Community Representation: At last Labour have agreed to include wider representation on the Board and to advertise this openly in Todmorden so it should be in Tod News next week, hopefully agreed at the next meeting (Sept 15th)

Business and Tourism Strategy: Looking into creating more visitor accommodation in the area to make it possible for people to come and stay (and enjoy Tod and the surrounding countryside !)

Tod market: Discussion of ideas about how to improve the market which should enable some substantial proposals to come to the next meeting

Taking action on derelict sites (s215): It seems as though it’s beginning to work with the fencing on Halifax Rd, Asda now apparently promising to sort out their site, and the issuing of the notice on Cinderhill Mill. But still little sign of positive development on any of them !
