Snuff Mills Action Group General Meeting - Thursday 14th October 7-9pm - Stapleton Baptist Church, Broom Hill

Snuff Mills Action Group General Meeting - Thursday 14th October 7-9pm - Stapleton Baptist Church, Broom Hill

Please join is for our first ever Annual General Meeting. Don't worry, it won't be boring, but more of a celebration of the progress we have made to improve Snuff Mills and save Grove Wood.

Also, did you know that plans to radically change Snuff Mills, Oldbury Court and Wickham Glen have been unveiled and you can help shape these plans? These include a children's play area in Snuff Mills car park, more games areas in Oldbury Court and of course a cycle track through Wickham Glen. There are some really positive proposals too.

To help you decide what you think of these plans and whether you want to support them or object to them, we will be joined by some Council staff who will talk about these plans and answer questions:
John Knowlson will talk about plans for a children's play area in Snuff Mills car park
Alberto Palmero will talk about the improvements to toilet facilities in Snuff Mills
Nick Pates will talk about plans for a cycle track through Wickham Glen

We want to talk about the plans to develop Laundry Field and sell Begbrook Drive Open Space for development too. We hope to have an update about Laundry Field at the meeting from the Homes and Communities Agency.

Anout 50 people attended the AGM yesterday. We went through the progress of the Group since it began, looked at the accounts and reelected the core committee.

We then had presentations. Nick Pates from Cycling City Team unveiled revisions to the plans for a cycle track through Wickham Glen, a separate blog post will be up about that soon.

Alberto Palmerio talked about the new toilets and explained how they will be safer and cleaner than the existing ones and attract many less social problems.

John Knowlson talked about plans for a children's play area in the woods above the car park. There will be a separate post about this soon too.

There was healthy debate about all the issues. Thanks to everyone who came and to our guests for their presentations and willingness to engage with the debate about all the proposed changes to our greenspaces.
