1. MB gave report on current activity on the Park. ( Monthly report attached)
Currently the main emphasis is on recycling with data being collected from each individual business on waste stream and recycling quantities. KG informed group that information required as soon as possible as there are issues with the supply of recycling bins.
Ideally information needed by end of JULY. It was discussed that if necessary the recycling service could be rolled out on a street by street basis if it becomes necessary, although it would be better to start it park wide if possible.
Parking issues discussed MB informed group that 36 tickets have been issued over last 4 weeks. Campaign on parking is still continuing on auction days. It was commented on that in general the park is quieter than normal, this was put down to economic conditions and holidays.
MB reported that he has spoken to Chris Shephard about direction signs in Western Road and that Chris discussed the subject at the WSCC transport task group meeting. A plan of action agreed to resolve the issue.
Lancing Business Park have been invited to join Adur In Partnership meetings to update what is happening on the park. MB agreed to represent LBP.
MP pointed out that it is encouraging how many organisations and people are aware of the Lancing Business Park Bid and interested in how it works. KG confirmed that at a recent meeting the Lancing Business Park BID model was also discussed.

4. General discussion. IF suggested that joint purchasing should be pursued in the connected theme, all agreed. MBR informed group that having met landlord of Wizard building a while back that he said Lloyds were in discussion about taking on building for printing of cheques.
