Application for Hesters Way Forum and area accepted

The Hesters Way forum and area were designated at a meeting of the Cheltenham Borough Councuil cabinet on December 6th 2017. This gives the forum the opportunity to progress plans to create a Neighbourhood Plan for the electoral ward of Hesters Way (see the map below)

If you are  interested in the future development of the area and would like to join the group please contact us. We will be holding public meetings in the new year on the following Monday evenings from 5.30pm;

  • January 29th
  • February 26th
  • March 26th
  • April 23rd
  • May 21st

We look forward to seeing you then.

West Cheltenham Forum meeting Wednesday 13th September

The next West Cheltenham Forum meeting will be held at;

Hesters Way Community Resource Centre from 5.30-7pm on Wednesday 13th September 

We are pleased to announce that after conversations with elected representatives at CBC that we can confirm that a ward based application for a Neighbourhood Forum will be looked upon favourably by Cheltenham Borough Council’s Cabinet Committee (the group that has the power to designate Neighbourhood Forums and approve their areas).

Our task for the meeting is to agree which local ward or wards if any might be selected for applications to designate to keep local Neighbourhood Plans on track. Springbank ward having now been chosen as a Forum is leading the way.

This comes at a very opportune moment as the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) proposals are being brought forward. If agreed CIL proposals will require that representative local bodies such as a designated Neighbourhood Forums will be in a position to help the Borough Council manage funds for the benefit of each local community. The sooner we can have established forums the better we can help plan for the future.

Please let us know if you will be attending as we will be providing refreshments.

We are looking forward to seeing a good turnout, so please invite everyone who’s been involved and any others who might like to help!
