Residents asked their views on North Camp regeneration
plans
Rushmoor
Borough Council is asking residents for their views on the future
regeneration of North Camp.
The
Council has produced a draft strategy for how North Camp should
continue to develop up to 2007. The strategy reflects and builds
on the principles originally agreed by the local community and
key stakeholders. It updates an original plan of action, which
was published in 2002, taking on board new opportunities and issues
for the area.
The
strategy sets a vision for North Camp as a 'a vibrant retail and
residential neighbourhood providing a high quality environment
where people can live, work and spend their leisure time'. It puts
forward projects to achieve this by improving North Camp's positive
characteristics and by developing community involvement and ownership
in the area.
Some
3000 homes in the North Camp area will receive a copy of the North
Camp Regeneration Newsletter, which sets out a summary of the strategy,
and a questionnaire that asks people for their views on the project.
Residents can see full copies of the strategy at the Council Offices
in Farnborough and Aldershot; Bransons Tobacconists in Camp Road,
North Camp; Aldershot library; The Hive Information Centre (in
the Connaught Community Centre), Redvers Buller Road, Aldershot;
and on-line,lease see the link to the right of this page.
Anyone
who would like to comment is asked to do so by Thursday March 31st
2005. If they can not meet this deadline but still want to comment,
they can contact Debbie Whitcombe, North Camp Regeneration Officer,
on 01252 398793, or by email at dwhitcombe@rushmoor.gov.uk.
Councillor
Peter Moyle, Deputy Leader of the Council, said: "The shopping
centre of North Camp provides a natural focus for regeneration
and continues to be the driving force for change. In addition to
the development of a vibrant economic centre, the strategy aims
to bring about improvements to the local environment, to build
a strong sense of community and to improve local pedestrian and
transport routes. I hope that North Camp residents and businesses
will find time to read the strategy and ensure they have a say
in the future of the area by returning a response form."
