Members of the Working Groups gave an update on their work since the last meetings:

Finance

Neil Collie reported that a number of projects were in the process of bidding for Path for Communities Funding.  These included the two projects which had given presentations at previous Forum meetings and there was also a project to create new public rights of way in Dane Meadow, Holmes Chapel.

Salle Dare stated that Natural England had not received as many applications for Funding as expected and that Natural England could help to put bids together if needed.  There had been comments that the forms were difficult to understand.

Under Represented Groups

The Group had nothing to report at present.

Health

Keith Osborn reported that the NICE Public Health Guidance on Walking and Cycling had now been published.
