Dates for your Diary
As we now move firmly into 2012 it is time again to pick up the baton and consider where we are with the long term plan for Thornbury.
Having failed to satisfy the Planning Inspector at their first attempt, a second modified version was unveiled by South Glos Council in late December. There is now a period of consultation during which residents can express there views to the council on any amendments it contains.
The consultation ends on 17th February and copies of the latest plan can be collected from the council offices in Castle St Thornbury.
Other than providing copies of the plan as indicated above it is difficult to find how the council are communicating with the public on this vitally important issue. However, two forthcoming events should be helpful in assisting with the formulation of your response:-
Saturday 7th January.
Welbeck Land are holding an exhibition and community planning day where the public have the opportunity to participate directly with the design team in workshops and hands-on design groups to discuss key issues such as layout and landscape design, sustainability, transport and the local economy.
Refreshments will be provided during the event which is scheduled for approximately two and a half hours.
Saturday 14th January.
All three newly elected Independent Councillors are holding a surgery. Rob Hudson, Gareth Davies and Vincent Costello will be available to provide updates, discuss pressing issues and concerns, and importantly listen to the ideas of residents from throughout Thornbury.
The motivation driving the event is to provide a communication platform for residents to participate in the current wellbeing and future success of our town.
It is hoped to provide some refreshments on the day and all are welcome.
