Also discussed under matters arising was permission to erect signs on the Firing Range, the lease of land at Gordon Lines and the erection of masts.

Applications for building plots were considered with Andrew and Joanne Watson were added to list “A”, John and Michelle Jones had their application deferred and Miss Sally Owen was added to List “A.”
