D01 — Member operating note, 20 December — signed winter promises

The cooperative has promised one West circuit and one East circuit each week for twelve weeks. West means Alderhaven–Bracken–Cairn; East means Alderhaven–Dulse–Ebb–Fara. Each circuit includes passenger access and dry parcels within the existing arrangement. The booking register contains the enforceable units for this exercise. A circuit cannot disappear when a new term such as “access day” is introduced.

Both assemblies accepted the winter tariff: £1,700 per circuit, paid in the delivery week. Their booking detail is deliberately not person-level data. Lene Darr speaks for Bracken and Cairn only. The East Assembly retained authority collectively; no individual in this packet can accept its changed promise. The three cooperative officers can choose how to use otherwise free resources, but cannot confer either assembly's agreement on a new tariff or priority rule.

Mara may reallocate qualified people within the same week and promise. An unperformed job stays due or explicitly unmet. A move across weeks requires the named customer's amendment. Maintenance is also promised work; the cooperative cannot call it spare time simply because there is no customer invoice.

Minute margin, not a resolution: “We used reliable six times, without agreeing which missed connection matters most.”
