Hi,
Planning issues are clearly major concerns of forum members. Most recently,
this has involved discussion, outrage and despair about Tescos and Gala Bingo.
However, all of these are one-offs and there is a wider picture, including over
the next few years the evolution of 'area plans'.
In several parts of Bristol small groups of local people have come together and
many have joined the new Bristol Neighbourhood Planning Network
(www.bristolnpn.net). Visit this site to get a better Bristol wide
perspective. The Planning Department are recognising and using these groups
as sounding boards for local issues.
Through the Bemmy Community Partnership we have been trying to form such a
group, but in vain. I'm proposing, therefore, that this Issues Forum become
our local group.
1. As now, we can discuss planning issues as they arise, but you don't
have to read them if you don't want;
2. As now, individuals can call real meetings about particular issues
with people in the same room (eg the Gala meeting of 22 April) as the mood
takes them;
3. People who want more can link up with the BNPN;
4. We can send a representative to the quarterly meetings between BNPN
and senior officers in the Planning Department. The first of these is on 30
April. The partnership steering group have asked Matthew Symonds to attend
this on its behalf.
5. Matthew and future reps can report back any relevant issues via the
Issues Forum.
Does that make sense?
Cheers, Ben.
