- 27. WE’VE DONE IT! •Congratulations to all ESJF members and associate members • On the evening of 16th July Exeter City Council adopted the Exeter St James Neighbourhood Plan. • The Plan now forms part of Exeter’s statutory development plans and in future the policies it contains will be used to help determine planning applications. • This decision can also be seen as the green light for projects which have been proposed. • The Steering Group has been eager to make a start with Queens Crescent Garden, the top priority project, and plans are being made for the setting up of a Community Interest Company to assume responsibility for the development and future management of this community green space
- 28. Thame • I haveexperience of community development work but somehow this was different. It involved understanding the constraints imposed by environmental and planning issues, of accepting growth in an area where everyone wanted to close the town’s gates. • Instead of a top down approach – this is what is best for your area, it was a bottom up approach – this is what we want so go and make it work in planning terms. Tension erupted as the “professionals” had to listen and produce rather than produce and inform. • The status of the town council has definitely changed, somehow it seems there is more respect for what a town council does and can do. The district council is involving us at the first stage of planning enquiries. Helen Stewart, Town Clerk
