Melanie was asked if ‘Local Life’ wanted some space on this site and it looks like the group may do so but not yet. In anticipation of this, there are a few pages to be getting on with. MD 26-Oct-15
Hi Mick,
The Local Life Association is an open membership group for residents which is a constituted unincorporated group. This has been set up following discussions with several neighbours and meetings with the Locality team for the North East Region. The group needed to be set up in order to be able to put in applications for local listing of ‘Community Assets’, this comes under the Locality Act 2011. Part of the aims of the group is to create a community and allow people to openly discuss ideas, views, and concerns. Its a proactive platform to allow residents to take some control over their neighbourhood.
At the present time our time is finely balanced and often slightly squeezed between restoration work, and paid work. So I’m afraid I don’t have sufficient time at present to commit to maintaining a page, but rather I dip in and out of things when I have a spare moment.
It would be great if you did take up membership of Local Life.
The Council have recently put up a whole load of plans for Greens Place but not sure if they’ve loaded anything for Greens Place on the other side of Baring Street, probably as a result of us pursuing our objections, but when you click on a lot of them there’s nothing available as i think they haven’t had time to load them yet.
Melanie
