Minutes:
The ADM gave a summary of the work undertaken by the Heart of Wessex Rail Partnership during 2013/14 as detailed in the agenda report. She also asked AEC members to consider a partnership contribution for 2014/15 of £2,000 from Members discretionary budget.
The majority of members were in favour and wished to support the Partnership. The following points were raised:
· Railway holts should be brought back into use and perhaps used as request stops, but unlikely to occur as it may slow up the timetables
· Thanks should be conveyed to Catherine Phillips, from the Heart of Wessex RailPartnership who had helped with the production of the Castle Cary leaflet used whilst the road was closed due to repairs to the railway bridge
· Members should remember that the Heart of Wessex Rail Partnership was not the same organisation as the Heart of Wessex Local Action Group, although this work would complement each other
It was proposed and seconded to approve the recommendation, and on being put to the vote, it was unanimously carried in favour.

RESOLVED: That members 1) Noted the work undertaken by the Partnership in 2013/14 and that a similar report would be presented to Area South Committee. 2) Approved a funding contribution of £2,000.00 from Members discretionary budget for 2014/15. |
Reason: To consider a partnership contribution for 2014/15
(Voting: Unanimous in Favour)
