News on Oldland Parish Hub

Making Oldland Parish a more Vibrant place to Live, Work and Play: our New Oldland Parish Hub is live!

Thank you to the many people that have so far contributed to our community engagement project using the Interactive Map. Your input is extremely valuable and helped to create a good foundation on which to find sustainable solutions. Phase Two of the project seeks to build on what we have learnt and begin to focus on key themed.

The New Oldland Parish Hub provides access to unique pages dedicated to key themes. You can still have your say by continuing to use the Interactive Map or contribute by interacting with a theme. The themes focus on Getting Around, Getting Actively Involved, Getting Our Environment Right and Getting Young People Involved.

As your first tier of Local Government, we are keen to offer people every opportunity to get involved. If you have a keen interest in any of the themes and like to become more active in developing ideas, please make contact.

Example: under the theme of Getting Around ‘pavement parking’ has been raised as a significant issue. Not just does pavement parking effect people’s ability to get around it puts people in danger. However, some consider it reasonable for people to walk out into the road regardless. If this is an issue that affects you or someone you know, either interact using the New Oldland Parish Hub or get in touch.

Visit the New Oldland Parish Hub to hear what people have told us, listen to what we initially plan to do and find out how you can get involved. The new platform provides an interactive tool for communicating with our community. We are keen to get conversations going about key issues and concerns and get the communities backing for making changes where needed. If you are unable to use or access the technology, please get involved using email, letter, or telephone. There is still nothing better than a face-to-face conversation, so we are also keen to meet people on an individual basis and anyone is welcome to attend one of our council meetings. We want to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to have their say and get actively involved.
