Haslingfield Neighbourhood Plan – the next step. Fancy a cuppa?
The Big Conversation event in June started us talking about Haslingfield’s future. Now the Haslingfield Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group would like to invite you to a series of mini conversations over a cup of tea or coffee to delve deeper into some of the topics raised in June.
We are planning a series of these ‘tea parties’ to cover a range of topics over the coming months. These will be small, informal groups of people getting together to talk over specific issues with our neighbours. We’ll use the information we gather from these events to help shape the policies of our Neighbourhood Plan. This is an opportunity to find out more about real issues that the Neighbourhood Plan can address for our village – and a chance for you to be involved in making that happen.
The first three tea parties are listed below. Anyone is welcome to attend one or all of these events:
Affordable and Sustainable Housing – Sunday 6th October
This tea party could interest those who:
– Are concerned about lack of affordable housing in the Parish for those on low incomes, with young families, who are looking to downsize for health or other issues or who just want a smaller home.
– Are thinking about developing local land and want input into our local planning policies
– Are concerned about the environmental impacts of building works and what our Neighbourhood Plan policies can do to address them
Biodiversity, Resilience and Energy – Sunday 20th October
This covers a huge set of topics. In this first discussion we will look to get an overview of all three, what policies are available and begin to focus on where residents’ energies and enthusiasm lie.
Connections, Transport and Travel – Sunday 10th November
This topic was listed as very important by many residents. We’ll explore the possibilities a Neighbourhood Plan can and can’t influence, and start formulating policies.
Time for all three events: 3.00 – 5.00pm
Venue for all three events: The Community Room at Wisbey’s Yard
