The report was introduced by Mrs Keegan.
Mrs McKay was in attendance.
Mrs McKay answered members’ questions and comments on points of detail.
Mr Dignum allowed Mr A M Shaxson, the CDC ward member for Harting and the leader of CDC’s Independent party group, to address the meeting briefly; he received a response from Mrs McKay.
