Newtown Plan

The Newtown Plan has finally been released. It will be going up on the Council website but in the meantime I have uploaded it here.

There is also a list of useful contact details which you can find here.

These documents have come out of a fairly broad community consultation in the Newtown area. The East Reading Community Workers Lunch -- which I go along to -- will act as the steering group from now on.

There is also a more detailed plan that sits behind these documents, but which isn't publicly available.

This is great news for Newtown and should give initiatives in the area a bit more focus. Hopefully it will also get more people involved with local groups and activities.

Finally, there is a public meeting to launch the plan on Wednesday, 24 March 2010 at 7.30pm in the Sun Street Youth & Community Centre.
