Yearly Archives: 2021

Looking back twelve months the Cubert NDP Steering Group were deciding “to review each of the six priority areas identified in the initial survey and establishing the practical options available.”

Date : Saturday 13th November From 12 to 6pm
Venue : Cubert Village Hall

Please come along and give us your views on what has been achieved so far and what you would like to see happen in the future.

Following on from my last Newsletter update in August, I am pleased to say that we now have a confirmed date for the NDP consultation exhibition which will be held on Saturday 13th November in Cubert Village Hall.

Not much in the way of news this month beyond the fact that the NDP steering group will be having its first face to face meeting this month after such a long time.

Half the year gone, the Cubert Neighbourhood Development Plan Steering Group has collected just about as much information as the parish residents, parish business owners and as many other interested parties that we could think of, have felt inclined to disclose to us.

Well here we are, nearly at the end of the beginning as the man said.

June will see the collation of resident’s opinions on the “provision of sports and leisure facilities” being the last of the six priorities identified from the initial Residents Survey.

Not surprisingly I suppose, the interest shown in April’s questionnaire relating to “Heritage Assets and Green Spaces” has once more generated a significant positive response and I, together with those responsible for creating the document, would like to express our thanks for to everyone who took the trouble to respond.

Firstly I would like to thank everyone who took part in the “Traffic and Parking review” in March.

For those of you who completed the questionnaire in the Newsletter, your responses have been uploaded and combined with the responses submitted on the website. The analysis of overall returns will be taken forward to the public meeting later in the year as a part of the draft Cubert Neighbourhood Development Plan.

In January I referred to the six priorities identified in last year’s NDP survey and to the fact that the members of the Steering Group have formed sub-groups to assess the potential within each subject area.

The assessments have progressed over the past couple of months. The hope is to put the findings into the public domain incrementally, via this Newsletter, the Cubert NDP Facebook page and the Cubert NDP website. The objective is to inform, generate interest and seek comments.

As we move into 2021 it is natural for people to look back, assess what has gone and look hopefully forward to what may be coming down the track.

Clearly there is a universal hope that things will get better on all sorts of levels, not least with regard to Covid-19. I think what has been clearly evident throughout the pandemic is the willingness of individual members of communities to provide help and support for each other.
