Update from Ashland Steering Group
We have a meeting place arriving soon...
We are finally at the point of construction! The steel frame is due to be installed at the end of September, with the containers arriving early in October. Once the containers are in place and the building secured, then the internal fit-out can commence.
This is YOUR meeting place, and it’s being built based on requests from the community in Ashland. How would you like to use it? Is there a group you know who’d like to occupy it for a regular meeting or event, or a one off? We’ve had requests from residents for yoga classes, exercise classes, knit and natter. Who do you know who could set those up? Is there a group that needs a new home? Or a project you’ve been wanting to start and needed the space for?
As the Meeting Place evolves, please post your pictures of the building work. We’ll be creating a collage of the journey of the build, which will form part of the internal décor. We want to capture your experience of how the building came to be.
We’ll also be asking for your help with some of the landscaping. It’s a chance to get involved, bring along children to take part (and entertain them for free!) and play a part in making Ashland an amazing place to live. More details will be available on Facebook or via the Clerk.
And we’ll need a group of residents to help with the management of the building. We’ll share more details of what is likely to be involved once we have more guidance on how the building will run and how bookings can be made. Could you make a difference to Ashland?
We’ll be organising an opening event once the building is much closer to completion, which will be a chance for everyone to come along and take a look.
The Parish Council and the Steering Group have worked on this project for a considerable time. We’re so grateful to all those who have given their time to get us this far, to those on the Parish Council for their support, and as always to our brilliant architect, Andrew, who has been working on this for free.
Please continue to follow the Ashland Neighbourhood Watch and the Simpson and Ashland Parish Council Facebook pages. We’re posting updates as we have them, and please share the details with your friends and neighbours
