Section 3: Community Involvement
Supported the local rowing club to promote joint working, as they desire to grow their club and extend the rowing club into a wider community hub which may include a Gym. I will continue to support the club where I can help their longer-term strategy support wider community links.
Also, support Far Forest in the speed concern group and parish council. This information was given both ways to support Councillor Morehead in his county capacity and ensuring the parish council were aware of activities when attending the meetings. I have attended 4 parish and 2 town council meetings to provide wider strategic updates.
Section 4: Assisting Constituents
I have supported one constituent in providing an avenue to talk about the planning application for a local shop and ensured the points were communicated at district level and returned responses to ensure the constituent was aware where the build was in the programme. Since it was not completed, I had to manage expectations to ensure they knew there was still work to do. The planning team worked really well in communicating and ensuring the contractors know the important points to the local communities.
I have engaged with constituents at council meetings talk about key topics, which have been fed into various parts as well as talking to farmers about some local footpaths. I also engaged with a couple over the parking issues in Bewdley Town Centre.
Section 5: Supplementary Information
The main defining element I have enjoyed is talking to the community and don't think I have made a huge impact on the first year. I hope now I understand the process better that I will support them better as well as parish councils. I hope to support the needs of the Bewdley town centre further to improve its economy including the night life.
