a) Update on proposals re Kippings Cross junction.

A copy of the correspondence from Greg Clark MP which had been forwarded by Brenchely Parish Council was noted.

b) Ringden Avenue – it was reported that cars were parking on the green space in Ringden Avenue. The Clerk would contact Town and Country Housing regarding this and copy in the borough councilors.
