Making more of the centre of our village

07/03/2022

One of the Ideas which has been discussed at Parish Meetings is to make more of a feature of the area around the telephone box.

To move this idea forward the steps we will take are:

  • Preparation
    • get an idea of what people living in the village would like to see
    • discuss the idea informally with the heritage officer (because Littleworth is in conservation area so any changes will need to go through the planning process)
    • rough idea of the cost involved
    • investigation of ways to fund the project
  • Decision
    • discussion on the final plan and a decision from the Parish Meeting on whether to go ahead
  • Delivery
    • raising the money needed
    • planning application
    • quotes for the work to be carried out
    • agree start date

This project could take between 3 and 5 years to complete. The reason it may take this long is because once a decision is made we will need to raise the funds to pay for it.

Your input

We would like to get your view on what should be done. It could be you think it is best to leave the area as it is, alternatively you might like to see more seating or planters for flowers. To help start a discussion an illustration of what the area could look like is attached. The idea illustrated is to create a village centre where people could sit and watch the world go by or stop for a chat. This would be achieved by building a seating area made from stone which matches the churchyard wall.
