Zen and the art of community maintenance

This Saturday, 2pm, the launch of the community led plan questionnaire in the Wardington Memorial Hall, with free tea and cakes! The community led plan is a method of "preventive maintenance" where we identify concerns early and address them. Maybe you are concerned by litter, housing, safety, noise or just want the right social events? This is how we intend to find everyone's concerns and, with your help, fix them before they grow. The approved minutes of our meeting on 05/02/14, which includes how we are generating the plan, can be downloaded here...140205 Wardington CLP meeting minutes (140216).
