Eardisland Community Website

Greta has understandably decided to step down as Chairperson of the Eardisland Community Led Plan to concentrate on her health. She has been an energetic, committed and inspirational Chairperson, and without her willingness and warm approachability the project would have been impossible. Thank you, Greta.

At the last Steering Group meeting on 7th November 2011 it was a unanimous decision to elect Merry Albright as our new Chairperson.

The ‘Planning for Real’ event in September was very successful and we received hundreds of suggestions, comments, wishes and grievances on a diverse range of subjects. 129 adults and young people took part which is 27% of the population of the Parish.

We are currently collating the results which, in partnership with the Council, we will use to form a questionnaire. We will cover as many of the topics as possible, including traffic concerns, parish facilities, flooding, footpaths, housing, youth provision and overall aesthetics. Some issued raised relate to private property, or were considered to be beyond the remit of the Plan, and so we won’t be able to carry them all forward. We will pass the data to the Parish Council when the project concludes, so they have an overview of all the points raised.

Thank you to everyone who came (and helped) and for all your interesting ideas – your ongoing participation is crucial.

Our next task is to prepare the questionnaire and to deliver these to each person in our Parish in the New Year. From this we can work on more detailed ‘actions’ and begin to compile the final plan. We look forward to sharing our progress with you.

The Steering Committee is a friendly and supportive team and we are open to all ideas, suggestions and comments Please come along to a meeting or get in touch if you have any questions.
