Community Wellbeing Topic Group

The Community Wellbeing Topic Group of Bradford on Avon's Neighbourhood Plan is currently seeking information from the town's schools, clubs and organisations which contribute to community wellbeing.  They are looking to gather the following information:

·                What land/ buildings  are currently used by your organisation? 

·                Are they adequate for needs up to 2026?

·                If not what is required to fill the gap?

·                What problems and opportunities exist with your present facilities?

·                How do you think the Plan might address the issues you have identified?

·                What numbers are currently using the facilities?  (age groups if possible)

Whilst every effort has been made to contact all groups within the town if you haven't received a letter please contact Emma Windsor at emma@emmawindsor.co.uk
