WIDCOMBE MAGAZINE
Hopefully you have all received the latest copy of the Widcombe magazine and we are now looking forward to the Autumn edition. As part of that process we want to ask for your views on the magazine : what do you like or dislike about the magazine in its current form? What changes, if any, would you like to see? What topics would you like to see covered? Please send any comments you wish to make by the end of June to: secretary@widcombeassociation.org.uk
GREEN SPACES REVIEW
As part of the Council’s preparation for a new Local Plan, they are inviting us as the local Residents Association to put forward recommendations for local green spaces that we consider to be of local importance and which are not already designated in current plans, to be included in the new Local Plan. If you know of any open green spaces you feel should be protected please let us know by emailing before the end of June to: secretary@widcombeassociation.org.uk. We will put them together and submit them to the Council.
Best wishes
Mike Wrigley and the main WA committee
