I have spent significant time today writing cover notes for each of the groups copied ... here is a follow up to a fellow community rep who was at Friday's meeting (slightly edited to be usefully read out of context)
I’m so glad I came across as slightly p’d off - I was supposed to. It was somewhat calculated to raise the issue above the “Graham won’t go any further - so we can keep on going with platitudes” line.
It’s the third promise of a meeting so I am not optimistic that they will deliver - in any case, we need action. What the newer members of the GWR team will have learned is that there is a place called “Melksham” in their patch, with a lot of natives who want to use their services and have good but limited patience. Are they (GWR) taking the "Separate meeting = Divide and conquer" approach??
First hours of sending. No reply from anyone at GWR yet - but then they’ll want to read in and that may even be a good sign. Don't know yet.

Fingers crossed. I've emailed a short follow up.
