The first Neighbourhood Panning Workshop held in the Biggin Hall on 28 Novembris - un tas bija milzīgs panākums ar zāli pilnu vietējo iedzīvotāju koplieto detalizētas zināšanas par Dover un domas par to, kā padarīt pilsēta labāku vietu, kur dzīvot un strādāt.
Plānošanas eksperti skaidroja, kā kaimiņattiecību plānu var izmantot Dover - dodot vietējiem iedzīvotājiem iespēju attīstīt vīziju par nākotnes pār nākamo 20 gadiem, izlemt, kur viņi vēlētos jaunu attīstību, kādas jaunas infrastruktūras (piemēram, ceļu) ir vajadzīgs, un plānot atbalsta un kopienas telpas dzīvē viņi vēlas dzīvot.
The meeting broke into smaller groups to consider themes in detail including
- Local Communities, health and wellbeing
- Meeting housing need
- Design and Character of the Town
- Port, transport and infrastructure
- Opportunities in Tourism, employment, education and training
- Environment, recreation and open spaces
Strong opinions were expressed all round and the feedback session was lively as different views and experiences were debated and everyone had a chance to contribute and be heard.
Neighborhood plānošana dod kopienām iespēju izvirzīties vadībā, kas ražo daļu attīstības plānu savā teritorijā - Kaimiņattiecību plāns ir juridisks dokuments, un tas ir jāizmanto, lemjot par plānošanas pieteikumiem. It can make a real difference in the fight against poor quality development such as conversions of large properties into too many tiny flats that are primarily aimed at making profit for the developer.
The Plan will make sure that future development in Dover is
- vibrējošs, pievilcīgs un labi izstrādāts
- sabiedrības interesēs līdzsvarošanu sociālajā, ekonomiskie un vides apsvērumi
The Town Council is co-ordinating and supporting the making of the plan but you – vietējā kopiena – izlemt, ko jūs vēlaties, lai Dover. Cilvēki ar aizrautību, enthusiasm and knowledge of the Town are vital part of the process.
Making a good Neighbourhood Plan needs everyone to contribute their ideas, cerības un vīzija Dover - tāpēc šis process dod pietiekami daudz laika un iespēju ikvienam iesaistīties.
More events are planned. The next workshop will be at the Dover Disability Forum and a Questionnaire will be sent out at the end of February.
