MATTERS ARISING
Vivaldi - Having difficulty getting a response from Windmill Hill Flats Resident Group, Sam thinks there may be alternatives to using that block though. It is possible to connect the Knowle project directly to Dove Street. Equipment is still being spec'd, Chris P will forward some of the funding money so equipment can be purchased and rolled out as soon as we're ready. Noted that we are behind schedule, but that there are other projects we are prioritising.
Easton Community Centre - reopens under BW management next week till end of September delivering supported Open Access. Application submitted (£23000) to continue this for one year (ACTION SAM) - put in all deliverables from current wiki business plan, and numbers of "bums-on-seats" from Old Co-Op. Aerail and routing may soon be back on line from ECC for the Battersea Rd clients (ACTION LLOYD)
Change Up - Asked for an expression of interest by Rupert Daniel of Black South West Network, who we think is responsible for all the ICT pot for the voluntary sector available from the local consortium (est. £25000 to £75000). We will write a bid around the current strategy. (ACTION SEAN & SAM)
Bannerman Road - Installs to begin soon, deadline for spending the money is coming up.
