Working with Tayfen House Residents
We are
delighted to pay tribute to residents of Tayfen House, Bury St
Edmunds who have volunteered to assist the Town Council with
improvements to the town's allotments. Already they have
levelled off the driveway at Sicklesmere Road to make access easier
and repaired the fencing alongside the river. They have also
improved the avenues at Cotton Lane, erected fencing and trimmed
hedges at Nowton Road. The work they undertake is physically
demanding but they display enthusiasm and are making use of their
skills. It is a partnership that the Town Council is keen to
support.
Annual Town Meeting
This meeting was held on
13 May 2009 - see the draft minutes in the section 'Council
Meetings' which include the Chairman's Report and matters raised by
residents.
Strengthening our relationships
As part of
our intention for greater engagement with the community, the Town
Council is seeking to strengthen its relationships with
organisations and opinion forming bodies. More details about
the way forward can be found in this website.
We are keen to receive feedback on our services and suggestions on
how, in partnership, new areas of service might be developed.
We have already contacted several groups about this but realise we
will have missed many so if you think you are among these, please
respond via e-mail to the following:
- Could you advise us of the contact details of a person within
your organisation who is willing to be a key contact on matters
relating to the Town Council – an e-mail address would be
preferable. Are you willing for the contact details to be held on
our database?
- Are there ways in which you consider the Town Council could
develop its services? If so, are you willing to assist and in what
way?
- If you produce a newsletter or have your own website, would you
be interested in including articles provided by the Town Council?
It would also be helpful to know the approximate size and
distribution of your newsletter (ie the number of
recipients/area)
- If your organisation does not wish for further contact from the
Town Council please let us know
Please note that no new applications for grant funding by the
Town Council are being considered.
We look forward to hearing from you.
