Derek
mentioned budget produced by Matt Davies on the provisional Green Print plan.
It totals just under £1m. So far funds identified are £210,000 from central
government; £30- 40,000 which would have to be spent on re-surfacing in the
near future anyway. In addition to this there would be money from a different
pot for childrens play. Estimated cost is about £100,000 which would be raised
by match funding. Sarah Bennet has intimated that various sizeable funders such
as the New Opportunities Fund (NOF) would be interested in funding chunks of
the capital cost of a Home Zone. The involvement of local people in raising
this funding and in controlling the project is vital.
IT has been
suggested that HNA write to Keith Hill asking that the DETR which has promoted
this pilot scheme should come up with some money. Duncan to draft.
Matt's plans
to have the plans and perspective (and model) ready for exhibition the weekend
of Friday 25 and Saturday 26 May. It will take place in the Christ Church
School hall as before. It was suggested that the exhibition should culminate in
a public meeting where arguements can be aired before they are taken away to be
presented finally for ratification at another meeting 2 weeks later on the
afternoon of Sat 9 July.
Duncan will
take this up with Matt in time for us to advertise in the Newsletter .
It was
proposed that we have our AGM before this exhibition and a date around Wednesday
2 May was proposed. It would be necessary to get the newsletter out by Wed 18
April (Easter week). Sarah asked for all text by a deadline of Wed 11 April.
Please emailto sprynn@azurassociates.com as a Word attachment.
The
Newsletter should contain headline advert for the AGM, something (Duncan
originate) asking for nominations, a report on the last meeting with updates on
Prostitution; the chair's, secretary's and treasurer's report so that they
don't have to be read out at the AGM; an update on the Homezone together with a
headline advert for the Green print exhibition and any public meetings during
or after it; the HNA directory perhaps to be originated by Derek. (It should be
updated to include email addresses); the Holmewood Neighbourhood Website
