Baker's Field consultation exercise

John Fareham and John Abbott report that a further meeting of local residents to discuss the future of Baker’s Field will be held early in February. As a result of the earlier meeting and of discussions following it, the number of possible schemes has been reduced to a final two or three. Residents have now received official notice of a meeting to be held on February 4th at which they will be invited to reach a final decision on which of the remaining proposals they prefer, but we thought it best to tell you first to give you more notice of a chance to consider the options. Whatever is decided, the funds are there to pay for it insofar as, working with the Council’s finance officers, we have identified Section 106 funding which was accrued in the first instance to pay for precisely such schemes as these.
