new roof to cover all the new cabins plan

DNPA want us to put a pole barn over the new cabins and we think it's a good idea - it will make it look good and protect the cabins giving them a longer life. The downside is a) we have to raise the money for the building and b) we have to take down our 2nd storey cabin which is the PJ office. We have very limited space on site and so we are at a bit of a loss to know where to house our office. It occurs to me now writing this that it doesn't have to be on site. we have a need of a place to store our files and archive if anyone has any space they could offer????

planning Jan 2013 update

Thanks to the generosity of Steve Dooley and David Hayes we have now completed new drawings to add to those already uploaded on the DNPA planning portal.

Hopefully these will be approved by DNPA and we can go forward with the application.

James Aven, our planning officer and the DNPA lawyer have been very helpful in preparing the ground and the new 106 agreement and hopefully the committe will now be able to approve the new plan.

if so all we need next is to raise the money to do the work!

A Visit from our MP

On sat 16th we had a fantastic visit from our local Member of Parliament, Mel Stride.

The project had been brought to his attention by ourselves and many members of the public who had written to him, concerned by our issues and in support of our ethics.

The result was that he wanted to come and take some time to see for himself.

A tour of the furniture barn.

The paint box.... part of the community re-paint scheme.

They were incredibly impressed by the project and it's ability to, not only promote a sustainable community, but tackle wider socioeconomic issues.

Thanks to all our wonderful members of the community who came along to help with our work day, despite the constant rain and drizzle! thankfully Diana had been busy baking and cooking and provided everyone with cakes, scones, soup and hot drinks.
