The pros
- More influence over the things that matter;
- Better services for people who live on the estates;
- A cut of the Community Infrastructure Levy on future large developments (reducing the need for a precept);
- Running local leisure/Community facilities (Community Halls, Lido?) and getting the proceeds from them;
- Councillors who live locally and a Community Council clerk to fight our corner;
- The chance to bid for services to run locally (e.g: management of the Fields, the licensing function for Broadway Market);
- Development of community facilities (Park Keepers cottage, Toilets on Broadway, neighbourhood office in vacant shop on Marlborough Ave).
The ideas submitted sound acceptable, however this website is very limited in detail. Would you vote for a government to rule the country without a proper details manifesto? If you would then be prepared for anything to occur and be responsible for being part of that descison. More detail will allow for everyone to be certain of their descision and that they are receiving true representation for what they believe in.
