Writtle
Wildlife & Conservation - Are you interested?
In responses to the Writtle
Parish Plan questionnaire, many people
indicated an interest in conservation areas and wildlife habitats
around Writtle. At the moment there is no local Group who record and
document for the Community, the plants, animals, birds etc, that we do
have in the midst of our Parish, pulling together the varied interests
of many Parishoners. Indeed there are several wildlife areas such as
Brewhouse Hoppitt, the various ponds and rivers/streams and the small
reserve on Writtle Road, that would benefit greatly from some TLC. It
is important that such areas be managed to encourage wildlife
diversity, and not be allowed to become overgrown and environmentally
dead.
If you are
interested in Conservation and Wildlife and would like to be
involved in helping to maintain our Parish habitats, look at the
management, record the species present etc, we would like to hear from
you. A Group needs to be set up and we would be pleased to hear from
you.
Please contact Liz
Roe 420564 (roejohnr@btinternet.com)
or Gordon
Ingram 422986 (gordoningram@supanet.com).
The
Parish Plan team has been working at the 584
Household Questionnaires that you, the Villagers, sent back, for which
we thank
you. In addition they have worked on the 83 Youth Questionnaires and 42
Business Questionnaires and a small group has also read, analysed and
recorded
over 4,000 of your individual, Adult and Youth, written comments. Writtle College
also assisted
with the Business Plan and general analyses for which we thank them. Our thanks to everyone who
worked on the
hundreds of pages of information.
The
responses give a clear picture of the wishes of
the Parish as a whole, covering all aspects of your vision for the
future of
Writtle. These will now form the basis of the Parish Plan and the
drafts are on
the Writtle Future website. Additionally, action points have been
identified,
and following a public workshop on the 6th
February 2010, your
priorities, analysed by the Parish Plan Committee, form the basis of
the Parish
Action Plan. This will be distributed to relevant Stakeholders such as
the
Borough Council, Essex County Council and other official bodies and
utility/service providers.
Abridged
versions of the Domestic, Youth and Business
Plans and the Action Plan will be distributed through the Writtle
village
publications, and full drafts may also be seen now by clicking on the
following
link and following the instructions on the Home page:-
www.essexinfo.net/writtlefuture
Implementation
of the Action Plan will be through Writtle Parish
Council. Stakeholders’ action and progress will be monitored by a Group
of
Writtle people, independent of all Stakeholders.
We will be contacting
those people who indicated in the Questionnaire that they would like to
assist
in the publication and follow-up of the Writtle Parish Plan.
