SCOOP! The future of Fishponds is in your hands.
Like ice cream? Love Fishponds? Then come along and share a scoop with members of Fishponds Planning at Scoops Ice Cream Parlour on Saturday 20th of February between Noon and 5pm.
We are a small but growing group of local residents who are helping to produce a Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) which will set the scene for the future of Fishponds.
Any local resident can join the group and everyone is entitled to have their say about how to make Fishponds a better place to live and work in. So to break the ice Fishponds Planning is offering a free scoop to those who come to our first public consultation event and fill out a simple survey.
We want to know what you think so we can make sure the Fishponds NDP accurately reflects local opinion. Once it is devised and adopted an NDP becomes the legally recognised blueprint for the future development of an area.
Fishponds Planning is a dedicated bunch of local volunteers linked to the Greater Fishponds Neighbourhood Partnership. We work closely with the Neighbourhood Planning Network, and benefit from support and advice from the City Council, local councillors and professional experts.
We have monthly open meetings. Our special focus is the (A432) Fishponds Road, as well as potential development sites on either side. We are already liaising with developers on their plans for some key sites, seeking to represent the interests of the wider community. But we can’t do this accurately without hearing what you think about the area.
Saturday 20 February is your next chance to contribute. We’ll be at Scoops – 633 Fishponds Road – from midday to 5pm.
But make sure you come along early – once the Ice cream’s gone it’s gone!
