We have a problem with our website, some of you will have noticed that on the page with our agendas and minutes (MPC Meetings 2022-23) some of the links are not working.
There are some other issues which I will get sorted out at the same time.
I am looking into it urgently and am waiting for support as this is something I cannot do myself.
