LOUTH TOWN PLAN
 

Town Plan www.louthtownplan.org

The Government would like local people to have a say in how their communities are developed and to this end they are encouraging communities to develop a Town or Parish Plan.  With support from Louth Town Council, many other organisations and particularly following the 2007 Annual Town Meeting, public recognition and authority was given to the network of town's people, called Meridian Links to form a Steering Group to produce the Louth Town Plan. 

The Steering Group consists of Jill Makinson-Sanders (Chair), John Stanbridge (Vice-Chair), Paula Hunt (Secretary) and Morag Judd (Treasurer).  However, they welcome everyone to have an input or to get more involved in the workshops run by the Steering Group

A recent questionnaire was sent to every home and business in the town and during the period from 19^th May to the 25^th June, hundreds of questionnaires each week were filled in or completed online.

The aim is to ensure that a quality Town Plan is produced based on sound evidence provided by the community which will combine the views of people of all ages across the Louth community and will address most of the issues that are important to them.  It will provide a vision of how people living in Louth in 2008 would like to see the town in 10 years or so and will include details of how the community wish to see Louth shaped and developed.

The Steering Group has, so far, obtained funding from East Lindsey District Council for their web site (please click the following link to visit it) www.louthtownplan.org and Community Lincs gave the group a grant (deposited with the Town Council) to cover 3/4 of the expected costs of the process. 

Please visit www.louthtownplan.org to become involved in the process, your opinion matters.

Town Bus Questionnaire

A Bus Roundtable Group came out of a discussion of bus services at a meeting of Louth Area Committee in October 2007.  

It was felt that, rather than being reactive each time a bus service is withdrawn, it would be better to be proactive and find out what Louth people want their bus service to be like and then to discuss this with the bus companies and the County Council.
 
The questionnaire is designed to provide evidence to support those discussions and it would be much appreciated if you would please take a few minutes to fill in the Town Bus questionnaire online by clicking the following link Town Bus Questionnaire or alternatively, visit www.louthtownplan.org and click the ‘Questionnaires’ button to view and complete the Questionnaire. 

ELDC Councillor Lesley Koumi is Chair of the Bus Roundtable and Councillor Pauline Watson is Vice-Chair.  Contact either of these Councillors if you wish to work with them, and others, on the Bus Roundtable.

Closing date for responses is 15^th August.
