Update

A meeting of local Alphington associations, hosted by the Forum, was held in Alphington School this evening. The purpose was to discuss Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) that will be available to the community from new housing in Alphington. A full report will be published in due course.

Exeter City Council had intended to hold an exhibition/ drop-in event on the subject of new housing, on 15 May 2013. However we have been informed that this will not now take place until sometime in June. Flyers will be distributed and notices put on lamp posts about a week before the exhibition. The exhibition will present points agreed with the Forum. An email notice will be sent to all members of the Forum.

Following the AGM, the open meeting will be a workshop for residents as we want to hear your views issues we are discussing with the Council: transport, social infrastructure (health education, community facilities etc), housing density and environmental design.

There will be a significant amount of money available from the developer of new homes and we wish to ensure that this money stays in Alphington and the design and design are appropriate.

Let’s face it – we are going to have to put up with extra traffic, pollution, pressure on services such as school, community centre etc. So come and have your say to help shape create a future for Alphington that will benefit old and new residents.

Getting involved is important – the input from the Forum will form supplementary planning guidance and shape the development.

Your community needs you to have your say!
