The Belsize Local Area Forum will decide what to spend its £10,000 annual budget on at the next meeting which is at Sarum Hall School, 15 Eton Avenue, next Tuesday (17 Nov) starting at 7pm.
The options which came out of the last meeting were as follows:
1) Advice, seeds and tools for people wanting to grow food (on window sills, on balconies, in gardens or on housing estates)
2) Advice, seeds and tools for food growing plus a Belsize website and a printed map of our area
3) Feasibility study for opening Belsize Library more often using volunteers and adding more services eg council info desk, cafe, playgroup etc
4) Refurbishment of an empty shop as a permanent Give&Take staffed with volunteers
5) Donation to local youth work charities the Winchester Project and St Marys Youth Centre
If you can’t go on the night, then please text us your choice to 07786 202 844 starting with the word Belsize, then a space, then your choice and say why (in no more than 160 characters).
At next Tuesday’s meeting all of the opinions received by text will be included in the discussion, followed by a vote on the five ideas. 07786 202 844 is a normal mobile number, so it only costs the same as sending a text to your friend’s phone. You will not be signed up for anything if you do text us!
