Today's fun and games

Hi All,

Yet another busy day in the west marsh.

First things first the launch day for the community first funding will be on Thursday the 10th of May at Grimsby minster.

We will be asking all groups in the west marsh to attend and are looking for a contingent from local business. If you know anybody at a local business please ask them to come along.

I will be sorting out a presentation to give about the funding and we will of course be inviting the press.

I managed to track down the stash of second hand paving slabs to the doughty depot. Let's hope they have quite a few as I need hundreds for the west marsh.

I have given some thought to the problem of the west marsh forward having issues with communication. As it is such an onerous task I think it would be better to look at setting up a separate group for it.

Thanks for following

Lots going on this month

Hi All,

A very busy month so far. The west marsh forward raised a few issues that we need to look at in the area. Including speeding vehicles, cycling on footpaths and some very bad parking by certain individuals.

The need to ensure that all the community first money gets spent was also raised. To this end I am having a meeting with john mooney and jo middleton tomorrow to see if we can sort this through a launch day.

Today I have been chasing a stash of second hand flag stones that bbw have got stashed somewhere. They could b put to use on the west marsh instead of sitting in a store somewhere.

The MAAG group through edna greenacre are re hashing their entry into the community plan which can only be a good thing its nice to get more and more involvement from the community.

Today was also the day for the management team at the children's centre. If we had as much enthusiasm in the council as we do there we would be sorted long ago.

Best wishes

Darren

West marsh forward

Hi All,

We will be designing a leaflet for west marsh forward in order for people of the ward to have a medium for feedback and complaints. It will be a simple affair and aimed at widening the reach of the forward. Any comments on what should be on the leaflet please send them to. daz.billard@ntlworld.com

Busy couple of weeks

Wow what a couple of weeks. Sorry for the lack of posts. Well where to start. I am the new chair of the west marsh forward. I am looking forward to getting stuck in to this role and getting a bid into out reaching communities. I have also been asked to lead on the broadband rural inclusion project for north and north east lincolnshire. They have also decided to make me broadband champion for north east lincolnshire. I have been busy with the community first funding panel, helping to set the priorities then getting our website together. Once John Mooney is back we can look into having a launch day.

I have also had some complicated dealings with shoreline and the councils housing dept around the private sector leasing arrangements and the need for redevelopment of our empty homes.

I have been looking into the mini olympics for the west marsh children's centre. And looking at some very badly organised council bills that were sent three years late!!!!

Oh and let's not forget the pot holes springing up everywhere.

P.s. There are a number of letters arriving from China aimed at people saying one of your relatives has died in China and you could be owed lots of money. Please report them to trading standards. They are fraudulent.
