4. Development Work Update
Market Towns Healthcheck - a precursor to being able to apply for funds under the small rural towns initiative. Paul explained the process. First Stage is the snapshot sent to ESCC, LDC and SDW PCT to collate background info on the town. Others hold info which also need s pulling together
4 main topics: environment, Economy, social and Community, transport & accessibility

Development Worker could pull this together by facilitating LTP members to reform theme groups and developing action plans. Part of work programme would be to identify other projects which have acquired or applying for funding which could be used as match funding for LTP. We could possibly run 4 workshops (JD to discuss with Action in Rural Sussex re facilitation). A number of small projects or one larger project would need co-ordination. (KR & PR to meet to discuss way forward, including potential project partners and format for consultation/workshops.)
