Come along and see what the community wants. Get involved!
The Polesworth 2050 Project, run by local volunteers to look at the needs for leisure, recreation and community facilities in the historic heart of Polesworth village, has now completed its research into what people want and is inviting local people to an Open Day at the Polesworth Memorial Hall on Saturday 13th February from 10am to 4pm to see what the community has said they want and what projects they would like to happen. It is a great opportunity for local people to see what's going on and a chance to get involved and have your say.
The Polesworth 2050 Group has now finished analysing questionnaires filled in by local people, the information gathered from open days at the library and a number of focus groups held with representatives from local organisations and is ready to feed all this information back and get local peoplesŐ views and support for what needs to happen next.
The main issues that have come out of the research are:
Also mentioned were parking and traffic, the need for more things for young people to do, the need for improvements to the pavilion and sports facilities, the requirement for more shops and the support for shops, a requirement to tidy up everywhere and to make the most of the central area of Polesworth and the green areas. Local communication is also important and a local newsletter would be really valuable as well as improvements to local community websites and better publicity of these.
Members of the committee will be sharing their findings at the Open Day and you can drop in anytime from 10am to 4pm on Saturday 13th at the Memorial Hall and see what's going on.
