3. Recruitment and employment
issues
Aniekan queried the resources available for repairs and installation of set top boxes and other ongoing related issues. Richard Overton explained because of the time being spent setting up RegenTV, his freetime was limited. A general discussion followed on how a support worker could be funded so as to meet the need – the Council, another funding, the TMO.
