Emsworth Community Board AGM

Emsworth Needs You Would you like to have a say in the future development of Emsworth? Would you like to be consulted on the planning and monitoring of services provided by Havant Borough Council and Hampshire County Council?

 If so, you could be one of the five people who live, work or study in Emsworth that we would like to welcome as new members of the Emsworth  Community Board (ECB) at the AGM to be held on Thursday 24th April 2008. Everyone is welcome but we would especially like to be joined by one or two young people. The ECB comprises 15 people and holds a public meeting to review local issues in the evening of the second Thursday of each month at the Emsworth Community Centre. Its members are part of small focus groups which review planning applications and monitor environmental, transport and community issues and liaise with council officers on such matters. One of these groups has been monitoring litter and graffiti problems and liaising with HBC to ensure they are dealt with promptly. Another has been conducting a detailed audit of the key roads and paths around Emsworth and will be presenting a comprehensive report to provide safe and easy routes for pedestrians, cyclists, wheelchair users and the disabled. The ECB was established in 2004 to represent the views of the community and to work towards improving the quality of life in Emsworth. It played a major role in selecting and supporting recent major projects such as the Skate Park, Memorial Sculpture and  Memorial Garden in Jubilee Park and the many improvements to the A259 pedestrian underpass and its access route from Palmers Road car park. If you are interested in supporting our efforts, or would like to know more about them, please contact me by phone 01243 431615 or Email: steve.pearce@btinternet.com
