Matters arising from the previous meeting

Noticeboards (Minute No. 97 refers)

Meeting confirmed that the noticeboards needed replacement as the current ones:

Are not weatherproof, and rain has caused the lining board inside to come away from the backboard which means that notices are ruined by the rain.
The locks do not stay in place, which meant that the noticeboard at the BACT Centre had to be removed for health and safety reasons as the door would not stay closed.
The doors have to be prised open, particularly in the winter months.
