Confirmation Notice

of a meeting to be held at King's Walden Village Hall

(by kind permission of Richard Pilkington)

at 11.30 am on Saturday 3rd of November

to hear a proposal for the formation of a

KING'S WALDEN SOCIETY

Everyone is welcome (including children).
Your views for and against the proposition will be welcome
and if for the proposition, then say what it should do
and how it should be run.

WHY HAVE A KING'S WALDEN SOCIETY?

Principally to have a local organisation that can provide a co-ordinated response to individuals' local concerns - the main one at the present time being the possible closure of our Post Office, the decision on which is to be made public in March 2008.

Also, to enable the residents in a spread out community such as ours to have a body which will support their concerns in areas where "authority" tends to ignore individual protests, such as the reduction in bus times, the redistribution of rubbish clearance (Did you receive the leaflets on the changes? Many didn't), pot holes on the edges of local roads, maintenance of the surfaces of the footpaths and bridleways, maintenance of the recreation ground etc.

Additionally, it is useful to have a body that can be the co-ordinator and provide publicity for local events such as the fireworks and the gigs at The Plough, the annual cricket match and Ley Green Day so that they do not clash with each other or with other local events in neighbouring parishes.

So, even if you have no firm views, come along on Saturday 3rd November for a cup of tea/coffee and meet and chat to other members of our community.
