The Chairman reports as follows:

1)    The 4624 Squadron at Brize Norton received the Freedom of the    County and have given to the County Council an embroidered        Squadron Crest which can be seen in the Members Board Room.

2)    The Minerals and Waste Development Plan is currently making its way through Cabinet on route to Council. The intention was that it would be considered by Cabinet in November and then Council in December. However by December there will still be some evidence outstanding and I have therefore agreed that an extraordinary meeting of full Council be held on the morning of 27 January 2014* with the express purpose of agreeing the Minerals and Waste Development Plan.

*Note: Since agreed to start at 10.00 am
