Queens Jubilee Event 3rd June

Hi All,

The Residents Association is holding a Queens Jubilee Celebration on the 3rd June in the park land near Manor Farm.

Music is going to be central to this year’s event and as such we would like to include as many local bands as possible.

Unfortunately we are unable to pay any bands who play, however we will supply lunch and it’s some great exposure.

This is being made possible by Gloucester College so a big thanks to them.

If you are interested in playing then please contact paul@kingsway-villagers.co.uk

More information regarding the event, times etc will be posted shortly.

Also if you are interested in volunteering to help out on the day, we require people to help set up the area and also clear up afterwards. Please email the above address should you wish to help.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks

I just wanted to make everybody aware that Kingsway RA has it’s own Facebook Page, and you can now follow the Kingsway Residents Association on Twitter.

Please follow us if you would like to keep up to date with events and what’s happening in the local area.

Hi All,

Stroud District Council have just announced their plans to build a further 3000 homes in the Stroud district.

Some of these homes are planned to be built on an extension to the Hunts Grove estate in Hardwicke (just the other side of the Waterwells Business Park).

Should you wish to voice your opinion on this proposal, you can take part in the online consultation – here.

Councillor Barbara Tait has said: "Officers will decipher the responses and decide what the next step is", and "Obviously we then go to the inspector who will have a look at how we’ve got to the results and make his decision as to whether this goes through or not".

More information is available at BBC News Gloucestershire.

Hi All,

Happy New Year.

Just to let you know that the new Kingsway coffee shop Coco in the local centre is due to open on the 7th January… Please visit us on Facebook.

Also if you have a real Christmas Tree left over from Christmas, you can put it on the kerbside for recycling by the Council on green bin day, even if you aren’t signed up to the recycling scheme. More info here.

Just a post following on from the previous thread regarding litter problems:

I believe that the majority of the litter is from recycling boxes that don’t have lids. Either because the clips have broken off (as mine have and have been replaced by The Council), or by owners who don’t use them, because they have slightly too much recycling for one box for example, so can’t use a lid, or because someone else has stolen the lid to replace their broken one.

I don’t know what other peoples opinions of this are but I have emailed and let him know of the problem.

The more people who complain the better as it might help The Council to see that there is a big problem with the design of these leading to litter problems that could be easily solved.
