    COMMUNITY PLAN FOR CHORLEYWOOD 1. Executive Summary 2. What is a Community Plan? 3. A Brief History of Chorleywood 4. Chorleywood Today 5. Action Points: • Village Life • Open Spaces • Planning • Leisure • Health • Schools and Education • Ýõä ĦæäñçÝõäñöóòõ÷ • Crime and Security 6. Ûèöóòñçèñ÷ÙõòĤïè 7. Community Plan Committee 8. Contact Details The foundations of this Community Plan are the responses from residents of Chorleywood to a questionnaire circulated to every household in the Parish. A Committee comprising representatives of the main community organisations within Chorleywood has analysed these responses and compiled this report. The main issues and concerns highlighted by residents are: • Protection of our open spaces and green environment • Lack of adequate parking facilities in the shopping area • Lack of diversity of shops and businesses in the village • Üóèèçìñê÷õäĦæòñïòæäïõòäçö • Öäìñ÷äìñìñêèģèæ÷ìùèóïäññìñêæòñ÷õòïöæòñöìçèõìñê the local demographics. • Senior school admissions policies Ýëìöçòæøðèñ÷öè÷öòø÷öóèæìĤæ÷òóìæö÷òåèìñùèö÷ìêä÷èçäñç allocates them to local organisations who have agreed to accept responsibility for follow-through. A Community Plan is a document setting out achievable aims and visions for the future of a community, based upon the views of its residents gathered through survey, research and community participation. The Localism Act 2011 gave communities a greater say in the development of their area. In October 2013, the Parish Council decided to use the powers of the Localism Act along with wider-reaching aims and objectives covering other aspects of community life, to produce a Community Plan and Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) for Chorleywood. A Steering Group, led by the Parish Council, was formed from a large number of community-interest groups.

  • Of 8 to Patients and Carers of Patients Registered with GP Practices In
    Friday 23 February 2018 NHS England East and North Hertfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group Charter House Parkway Welwyn Garden City AL8 6JL Tel: 01707 685 140 Email: [email protected] Website: www.enhertsccg.nhs.uk To Patients and Carers of patients registered with GP Practices in Broxbourne, Buntingford, Hertford, Hoddesdon, Ware, Watton and surrounding areas Dear Patient We at East and North Herts Clinical Commissioning Group and NHS England are writing to you to seek your views about extending the opening hours of GP practices in Broxbourne, Buntingford, Hertford, Hoddesdon, Ware, Watton and surrounding areas, known as Upper Lea Valley. GP practices in this area are currently open between 8am and 6.30pm Monday to Friday, with some practices open for longer hours on one or two weekdays and some Saturday mornings. These are called “extended hours appointments”. The new proposal is to offer extended hours appointments every weekday evening and at weekends/early mornings depending on local demand by October 2018. These appointments will be offered from a central surgery hub, which is different to the surgery that you are registered with. The service will be run by Generating Healthcare Ltd which is a collaboration of all GPs in the area. Everyone registered with a GP practice in the area is asked to give their opinion on these proposals. Giving your views To ensure best use of NHS resources patients are asked to complete the survey online at: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/ULVExAccess Alternatively patients who do not have access or are unable to complete the online survey, a paper version of the questionnaire is attached.
