Belmont Survey – your last reminder

The Belmont Survey was distributed to all homes in Belmont last month and is due back this week. Everyone should look at this survey and tell Herefordshire Council and the Parish Council what they want for the public open spaces at Dorchester Way and Northolme Road.

Without support nothing will happen. The survey asks for people's opinions on providing footpaths, a wetland area, bridges over the brook and play facilities for infants, juniors and teenagers.

"This is probably the last chance people will have to shape the new park. Without the enthusiastic backing of the local community there is no possibility of getting external funding, so nothing will happen. If people want footpaths or children's play facilities they must say so by filling in the survey," said Fran White, Herefordshire Council's Parks Development Manager.

"Equally, if people think any aspect of the plan is not suitable for Belmont this is their opportunity to voice their objections," she added.

Surveys can be returned by FREEPOST in the envelope provided, they can be dropped into the Northolme Community Centre or people can arrange to have them collected by leaving a message and their address on 01432 260411.
