Of those present, all were experiencing the same issues with planning, CC Hub and lack of response from both County and District Councils.  All were in agreement that \u2018strength in numbers\u2019 was possibly the way forward, and also agreed that there was little evidence to suggest that a CALC meeting would be able to help.  In the first instance it was agreed that all those present would seek approval from their own parish councils to move forward with this and a further meeting to be held in September.  Chairman Annis asked the parish council if they were in favour of the Chairmans Group moving forward.
