The Chair gave the following updates:

·         Following the last meeting of the Authority the Chair and Chief Executive had met with the Chair and Chief Executive of Friends of the Peak District.  This was one of their regular meetings at which both organisations focused on looking forward and partnership working.

·         During the last week the Chair and Chief Executive have met with the Chief Executive, Leader and Deputy Leader of Derbyshire Dales District Council (DDDC).  This was one of their regular meetings but was the first since Cllr Purdy had become Leader of DDDC although he was known to the Chair as he had previously been a Member of the Authority.  The main focus of the discussion was climate change and affordable housing.

·         The Chair provided Members with an update on the planned Member social event to mark the 70^th Anniversary of the passing of the act of Parliament to create National Parks.
