I agree 100%. We all have big concerns. From working as councillors or their involvement with organisations and businesses, the witnesses have seen everything from LEADER right through and the work it does. We need all the tentacles to be connected to each other. We need everyone talking to each other and an overall plan that we do not waste. It looks like this could be more difficult when we are already looking at a pot that could be a lot smaller for many reasons with which we all have a difficulty. We will probably have to bring it up at a private meeting. It is easy to say that there is food for thought but over the past two weeks and particularly today, there has been a fair amount such that we need to put some work together to see how we can put a proposal together for something that is better for making sure the organised structures are fit for purpose. It is all about delivering for all of us and the communities from which we come.
