I was very pleased to announce at last month's Pancake Special fund-raising event that we in the St Ive Community Park Project have succeeded in getting sufficient funding for phase one, and the new play equipment is scheduled for installation this month. It should be in by Easter. This has been a steady commitment by the community over nearly two years. Although a major grant pays for most of the project, there is no way we would have got the grant without showing our dedication and real need. So well done everyone involved.
I've put graphics of potential bus shelters on the parish website and Facebook page. How many people wait at Parkfield? Is the small shelter big enough? Do we need shelters on both sides of the road?
The Neighbourhood Development Plan Working Group is back up and running again. We are putting together policies that will shape planning decisions in the parish for the next decade or more. This will mould the parish into the vision we have formed from the answers you gave to questions in the survey from way back in 2014. We will be presenting these policies in an open day for you to comment on.
Don’t forget the parish
website st-ive-parishcouncil.gov.uk with council meeting agendas and
minutes; also downloadable copies of the Parish Pump. For those of you
who do Facebook, our St Ive Parish Council page is still being updated
with parish news. Phone me, email me on martin.corney@btinternet.com or
"martin corney blog st ive" in search engines will find my blogs for you
to comment on this article and other gems.
