What next?

I thought I could start by leafleting this area to see what interest there was for people getting together.

It consists of three separate areas :

• The town shops, with flats and houses hidden in amongst them.
• The ABC area - Ainslie, Burlington, Casson/Clarence streets with Ford Park nearby for meetings both in the building and the grounds .
• The Neville/Lightburn street/road with The Methodist Hall for under cover and Lightburn Park for open air gatherings

The Town Councillors are:

• Cllr Col
• Judy Picthal
• Helen Irving

SLDC Councillor:

• Jamie Samson
  

Some interesting activities:

• The mix of trade and residents especially at present - the impact of The Roxy.
• What's happening to the near derelict 27 Princes Street which has for so long plagued nearby residents.
• The use of the open spaces of Lightburn, Ford Parks, Rose Garden, County Square and Market place.
• Crowded Parking in the streets while Stockbridge Lane Car Park stands empty.
  
• The state and look of the roads and ginnels - the cobbled Market Street, Upper Brook Street and Weint with it's new proposed uplift
  
• The use of the meeting places of Methodist Hall and Ford Park House
• The use of the pubs and cafe´s
• Some green policies in our shops and the attitude to Tesco
  

I wondered about a meeting at the Methodist Hall to kick off at 7.30 one weekday evening!

Should anyone be interested in setting up such a meeting either in the writing of the leaflet or its distribution, their participation would be welcome.

Any costs would I anticipate be covered by those attending the meeting and I'm happy to "carry the can" if required. I think this kind of thing is fun and is a very cheap form of pastime!
