......and a bit of history:

At an initial, well attended, public meeting in November 2011, attendees demonstrated a
shared ambition to improve the amenity, environment and facilities of the Rotherfold Square at the top end of the town for the benefit of the local community, local business and visitors. A wide range of ideas and proposals for improvement of the Rotherfold were expressed. It was decided to hold a further meeting early in 2012, to seek views from local residents and the wider community and to agree a process for trying to reach a consensus on the parameters to inform the design of an improvement plan.

The second meeting at the end of Janary, while not so well attended, was widely advertised and many suggestions were received. Clearly there was a need to distil these ideas and take the work forward. A Steering Group was formed to undertake that work. Part of its task will be to ensure that all relevant stakeholders and statutory bodies are engaged with local residents and the community throughout the development.

The inaugural meeting of the Steering Group of the Rotherfold Improvement Project was held at the Conservative Club, Station Road on Thursday 22nd March. Click here to see the Minutes and here to see the minutes of the meeting held on 23rd May.
