Press release for Neighbourhood Plan April 29th
MEETINGS IN MAY ABOUT THE NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN
The facilitators from the Neighbourhood Plan
Steering group are now continuing the second round of consultations and
meetings will be held to gather further views and feedback what we have heard
already from local people.
The first meeting will be on May 11th at 7.30pm at Alton Community Centre, Gregory’s Way [the Scout Hut] and will be focusing on Parks and Public Open spaces.
Comments so far have shown
the interest and concern people have for protecting our green open spaces,the
use of footpaths and our unique channels and keeping them all clean and
accessible. We are still working to get questionnaire leaflets out to the homes
and businesses which adjoin our many open spaces and this will continue over
the next few weeks.
The second meeting in May looks again at Community and Leisure for the town and will be held on 18th May at 7.30pm at the Milford Social Club, 5, Chevin Rd. [opposite the school].
So far we have had a wide
range of issues raised.These include getting more affordable housing in the
town, thoughts about improving our various sports venues ; improving facilities
for young people in the town and offering easier access to wheelchair users.
We are very grateful for
the time, effort and interest local people have put into giving their opinion
about future priorities for the town. It is important that we capture as many
views as we can so that the policies identified as part of the Belper Plan
reflect as far as possible the issues that Belper residents,interest groups and
businesses want to see in our town. This is your chance to shape the future of
new planned developments.
