-  Cut-off date and potential routes

-  LAF Conferences

Minutes:

The SE LAF Conference is on Tuesday 20th May 2014.  TH proposed that he attend and members agreed, as the conference is a good opportunity to network and engage with other LAF members across the region.  Network Rail is to give a presentation about public rights of way crossing points which raised the question of the Stoke Poges Lane footbridge works under the Cross Rail scheme.  SP informed members that the Stoke Poges Lane footbridge works would be started at the end of 2014. 

 

JW drew attention to the LAF letter of objection to the planning application for the dis-used railway line route in Colnbrook.  JW would let members know the outcome after the planning committee on the 7th May 2014, but noted that the report had fully explained the fact that the route was used as a footpath.  The application could not be refused on this basis though, due to the fact that the path is not a recorded right of way.

 

Summer Site Meetings –

The dis-used railway line route in Colnbrook, would be the first site to visit during the Summer months.  JW would send dates around to members.  The CA Ditton Park cycle path and Cinder Track were proposed as other locations.  TH suggested that the LAF meeting could be held at one of the schools along the Cinder Track.

 

Resolved – JW would send dates around to members for the Summer site meetings.
