-        The restriction of ex-officio membership be lifted from the Chairman and Deputy Chairman.

-        The Sub Committee’s Terms of Reference state that the Housing Management and Almshouses Sub Committee should meet at least 4 times a year. The Town Clerk agreed to insert an additional date for 2018, taking the current number of meetings from 5 to 6.
