Event Description

Following the excellent public meeting last month, (download minutes) a smaller group have agreed to get together - continuing the momentum and exploring the setting-up of a Neighbourhood Forum to co-ordinate improvements on Myddleton Road and around Bowes Park.

This will be a small, self-organised meeting to plan next stages and lead the development.

Please add in the comments below any items you think should be on the agenda.

See you all there

Comment by Daniel Cowan on December 9, 2013 at 12:43: I agree with Lucia's ideas for the agenda, plus discussion of potential boundaries for a neighbourhood forum and time to talk about how we want to organise ourselves going forward.

Comment by Lucia on December 9, 2013 at 14:39: Yes defo Daniel!

Did think after I'd typed those that maybe first a discussion of feedback from survey/forms results and a chat about scope of the meeting i.e. is it about structures/managing things or about creative ideas/solutions or a bit of both.

Comment by Richard McKeever on December 9, 2013 at 15:50: Lucia / Daniel - unfortunately Julie will not be at the meeting - but she has produced some really useful survey feedback which I will have with me tomorrow. This might be a good point to reflect on where we are ... and I definitely agree we need to think about how we organise ourselves for what happens next, as well as structuring the meeting. See You tomorrow!

Comment by Lindsey Berthoud on December 9, 2013 at 17:04: Sorry I can't make it - look forward to hearing all about it though.

Comment by Toby Nation on December 9, 2013 at 22:21: Hi all,

Like a good civil servant I thought I’d summarise everyone’s great ideas into a draft agenda to kick things off.

Hope this is a helpful starting point. Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.

Comment by Liz Wright on December 9, 2013 at 22:45: After the talks last time I was very inspired by the idea of a neighbourhood development plan. Look forward to meeting everyone tomorrow.

Comment by Lucia on December 11, 2013 at 10:40: Great to meet you all last night.

Forgot to mention these sessions open to communities working on neighbourhood planning, there's one in Oxford in April: http://www.edenproject.com/whats-it-all-about/places-and-regenerati...

Haven't looked at application process for places, but may be useful for us in long term.
