The Farthings Community Group

by

Planning applications do take time to process and until very recently we were not sure that this project was going to happen. However, as you may have seen on this website, the SNC planners have now indicated they will use delegated authority to give FWP Ltd approval to proceed with their planning application.

Finally we are able to think about about the anticipated community project: the development of The Farthings. You will have seen in the planning application the first plan for this space. Now we need to define what that space will look like upon its legal transfer to the Parish Council and then to discuss what could be done subsequently to develop The Farthings into a valuable community asset.

You are invited to the first of a series of meetings of the Farthings Community Group. This will define how the community is to use this land and create plans to achieve these aims. The first meeting is on

Tuesday 8th October at 7.30pm in the Margaret Preston Room

Agenda

  • Background
  • The Farthings Community Group
  • Shape of The Farthings for transfer to Parish Council
  • List community objectives / projects (short, medium and long term)
  • Personal commitment(s)
  • Next Meeting and Objectives

We will schedule another 3 meetings to develop this further. They will be on the three subsequent Mondays at 7.30pm, same place.

Chair, Wreningham Parish Council
