HELP TO SHAPE THE FUTURE OF OUR PARISH – EVERYONE WELCOME

It is a long time since I did English Literature at school and I wonder if paraphrasing Charles Lutwidge Dodgson is the right way to motivate the parishioners of Cubert to contribute to the composition of their Neighbourhood Development Plan.

In the absence of any other better ideas; here goes: The time has come to talk of many things, not shoes, not ships, not sealing wax, not cabbages nor kings but how you, the parishioners of Cubert want your parish to develop over the forthcoming years. When he wrote “Let us talk of cabbages and kings” Dodgson, a.k.a. Lewis Carroll, went on to say, “not the shadow waiting in the wings.”

I would like to suggest that the shadow waiting in the wings for Cubert could be the unbridled development of the Parish to the detriment of many and the benefit of few.
Irrespective of my thoughts, the Cubert Neighbourhood Development Plan Steering Group want and need to hear your thoughts to help them best compose a Plan to help protect and enhance the development of the Parish, in accordance with the wishes of existing residents, for years to come.

With this in mind there will be an exhibition, based on the results from various local surveys, relating to:

  • Priorities for new housing development in the parish both in terms of quantity and location.
  • Future business development in the parish both in terms of quantity and location.
  • Protecting our heritage assets and green spaces.
  • Traffic control and car parking within the parish.
  • Provision of sports and leisure facilities for local residents.
  • Safeguarding our school facilities and potential expansion needs.

As I said last month the primary purpose of the exhibition is to inform, publicise and seek the views of as many parishioners as possible prior to the composition of the initial Cubert Neighbourhood Development Plan. The plan will be based on public opinion but you need to express your views to have them considered. The exhibition details are at the top of this page

Further information of note will continue to be made available via the newsletter, website and Facebook page.
