As the secretary, Tom, has noted the product that he already has received quotes for is expensive and we need to find a way to reduce that expense. Jeremy has shown us a cheaper method. Pouring tracks in some sections is a way to reduce the cost even further. Reduce the cost so that WCC can seal more road surface sooner. Beat a product price rise and unkind weather.

The front section of road section 3 on the road section map would appear to be the logical place for the trial to be done, why? because 13 of the 16 shareholders need to drive over that section to get to and from their home. That should provide enough traffic and experience for us to make the important decision.

Proposal
That WCC agree to a trial run of road sealant product for full width (2.2m to 2.6m) and tracks (0.5m to 0.6m wide) on a section of community road.
 
The suggested length of tracks:
