We are the community, now here’s the plan

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

The final pieces of the revised Community Plan are now being resolved. The key issues already covered by the Plan can be viewed here [ Update 11/09/09: The final plan is now availaible here: Windermere and Bowness Community Plan ]

Tuesday September 15th will see the public launch of the Community Plan and I extend an open invitation to you all to attend the event which will take place at The Hydro, Bowness commencing 7.00pm for a 7.30pm start.

The Plan prioritises issues that can make living in our community an even more pleasurable experience and identifies partner organisations with whom we will need to work to see the actions delivered.

In some cases the answers lie within our own community and I hope that the evening will lead to constructive discussion about how we can all play a part in achieving the aims of the Plan.

I look forward to seeing you on the 15th September.

Mystery of Crescent Road

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

Anthony Dean of Threshers writes in to report mysterious happenings outside his shop on Crescent Road Windermere: “I have begun to wonder if there is a Bermuda Triangle effect outside my shop. People are having problems with their central locking and car alarm systems when they park in the bays from my shop to the traffic lights.”

Remote key fobs are not working as they should, so Anthony has been helping out: “I have helped quite a lot of people get into their cars and I’m sure Motor World has seen a huge increase in key fob battery sales!”
