Kingsway Villagers

Just a reminder folks; I’m holding a research workshop on new communities at Kingsway’s temporary Community Centre on 7th Feb between 18.15 and 19.15.

It’s really informal, so just call in and we can have a chat about how to support new communities to flourish.

I’ll have a cameraman with me, so if you want to appear on film then drop me a line and we can arrange a separate meeting if you prefer.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I have recently emailed the Council about the unsightly litter that is mounting on the verges and hedgerow on the bypass between the Kingsway entrance and the Petsmart Traffic Lights. I have received a response saying:

"Thanks for your enquiry. Currently this area of dual carriageway is tidied twice a year, early June and then end September. We are aware that this is an ongoing problem and are reviewing how we approach such litter issues in the future."

If anybody else is disheartened with the amount of litter collecting in the hedgerow I’d be grateful if you could contact The Council. Surely the more of us that complain the quicker they might do something.

If anyone has any contacts at the Council that could expedite the process I’d be grateful for a word in the right ear(s).

Hi my name is Judy,

I would just like to introduce myself to Kingway.

Myself and my team are opening a new Hair And Beauty Salon in Kingsway next month – Feb’ 2012 – at the local centre (by Tesco Express).

We have organised a launch party for the 25th of February and we are opening on the 28th of Feb’.

Everyone is welcome on the 25th, to come and have a little look around and meet the staff; we will be there from 6pm and we look forward to meeting you

Hi All,

I’ve been doing some research on successful new communities – Kingsway Village has been a case study.

I’ve booked the (temporary) Kingsway Community Centre for a short workshop on Tuesday 7th February, 18:15-19:15 to share the findings and see if it matches with your experiences.

Some of you have been interviewed for the research, so I will e-mail the invite directly, but this is open to all residents; I would love it if some of you could come in and share your thoughts.

I have hired a film-maker to make a short documentary too, but don’t let that put you off!

Naturally, I’ll provide some cakes and refreshments!

See you there!

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.

Hopefully you have all received a travel plan questionnaire by now.  If not please go to www.rslht.co.uk and click on the Kingsway Residents link to complete a questionnaire or contact us on 07530-527514 for a paper copy. Alternatively you can pick one up from Badhams Pharmacy which is also a drop off point.

It is really important for you all to try and improve your links to the outside world!  This could be improved cycle/walking routes, more frequent buses (further into Kingsway), links to trains etc.  It gives you the opportunity to voice your opinion on the subject in order for change to happen. We need a good return from you to make an impact though.

Quedgeley Urban Village Ltd (the developers) and Gloucester County Council are sponsoring this initiative.  It will become an annual event so we will have to ask the same questions again to continue the sustainable travel initiative.
