pressures for more houses, from more traffic and the impact of large
developments. Many of us know what we want, and many of us know what we donβt
want for Headington. How can we make our views count, and get the very best for
our area?
The Localism Act gives us powers to shape Headington's future development. We
can do this by setting up a Neighbourhood Forum of local people who live and
work within and alongside the community to prepare a Neighbourhood Plan. This
Plan allows local people to participate in making planning decisions and on how
infrastructure money is spent. Many communities in Oxford are already preparing
such plans. Should Headington do this too?
We think that this is an opportunity to shape the future development of our
community. But what do you think? Come and have your say at the public meeting
arranged by Headington Action on Tuesday 26 February 2013 at St Andrew's School
Hall, London Road from 7.00β8.30pm. Weβll discuss whether Headington would
benefit from a Neighbourhood Plan and how we could set up a Neighbourhood Forum
to produce it. Weβll also hear about plans in other areas and learn from their
experience. Weβre keen to hear your views, hope to see you at the meeting!
