22nd October : EGM Agreement to sign the CHS Management Agreement. At the recent EGM it was agreed to sign the CHS/FPHC Management Agreement and the Working Group gave themselves a pat on the back for all their hard work over the past few years. 26 out of 39 members/tenants took part in the meeting and the vote either in person or by proxy.
