Readers will see from the report of the proceedings of Steep Parish Council that the Charity Commission has not yet given authority for the setting up of an independent trustee body to decide on the future of the three allotment sites, so for the time being members of the Parish Council remain as trustees, and members of our new group can be no more than ‘prospective trustees’. Clearly, we cannot make any decisions until we get the Charity Commission go ahead, but we will nevertheless continue to do our research and listen to views,
