Hinds, Alex From: Sent: 16 June 2014 20:17 To: Reviews@ Cc: Subject: Boundary divide of Edenthorpe - Letter from a resident Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged I am a resident of Edenthorpe, I have lived in the Parish for over 35yrs, I am very proud of our village and the community|I share it with. I strongly appose the suggestion that we move the boundary starting at Thorne Rd and taking us back to Armthorpe. Amongst may reasons here are a few: 1) It isn't the Armthorpe community who water the planters in and around our streets. 2) It isn't the Armthorpe community who fund raise to build new football clubs for Edenthorpe's local children. 3) Lets face facts the Local Authority budget has been squeezed by Central Government to save £109 million, who can assure me that this not another cost saving exercise, to the detriment of me, my family and the wider community. 4) Exactly why has this decision come about. 5) What are the benefits 6) How long have the the 'powers that be' known about these changes 7) What assurances will be given to households facing a drop in house prices In fact we share nothing with Armthorpe not even our bus route. I also have a child who will be attending Hungerhill Comprehensive school in a few years, how will this effect her will she have to go to Armthorpe? The people in this country have been hammered every which way to save money, with our council elderly homes shutting, day care centre's closing and now you want to change the village we live in to chane - and for whose benefit - Whitehall,Osbourne,or the Coalition ? I would expect and like to see local councilors speaking up for the community, on this point. Regards Linda Laurie-Ali 1 Hinds, Alex From: Sent: 16 June 2014 21:23 To: Subject: Fwd: Changes to Edenthorpe boundaries and parish's Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Date: 16 Jun 2014 21:06 Subject: Changes to Edenthorpe boundaries and parish's To: <[email protected]> Cc: We are residents of edenthorpe who have attended a shambolic meeting tonight at the edenthorpe communitry centre. We feel absolutely and totally let down by not only doncaster metropolitan borough council but also out local councillors. To receive a letter from a local resident who happened to overhear a conversation regarding proposed boundary moves is utterly appalling. If this resident didn't take action herself and post these letters through our doors would we still be in the dark about what could be changing. Our main concerns are about our local schools and amenities...... We are parents of an eight year old child who currently attends kirk Sandall junior school, if these boundary changes do happen and our part of edenthorpe falls within the parish of Armthorpe will we struggle to get our child into hunger hill school which I can actually see from our house!!!! Will our house insurance rise being part of Armthorpe parish as I believe the crime rate is higher for that area??? Will the changes affect out house value????? Do the Armthorpe councillors want to have the burden of the edenthorpe area?? Will we be forgotten about when it comes to local funding??? What hope do we have as local residents if we are mushrooms. Kept in the dark and fed on s**t!!!!!!!! The questions and worries are endless and I can honestly say I feel no confidence whatsoever that we will be listened to or that our views will be listened to. I would very much appreciate a response to this email asap as we have not got another meeting arranged for this coming Wednesday. 1 I am sure this will be part of a long list of emails into this inbox tomorrow morning but the residents want and need answers. Regards Mr & Mrs Levitt 2 7th August 2014 Dear Sir / Madam, I am writing to voice my objections to the proposed boundary changes to the ward of Edenthorpe in Doncaster. I would like to state at the outset that I am strongly against any proposed division of the village, and believe that Edenthorpe should remain in our current ward with Kirk Sandall and Barnby Dun. I have thoroughly enjoyed living in Edenthorpe, since I moved to the area from West Yorkshire in 1999. I can honestly say that I have never previously experienced in other villages, the strong sense of community spirit, neighbourhood pride and sharing of amenities which is evident in this village. To divide the village along the A18 (a relatively minor single carriage way road) is absolutely outrageous. I, along with hundreds of other residents do not wish to become part of the Armthorpe ward – a village with which we have no obvious links, either transport or community. I would like to offer some further points against the division of Edenthorpe along the A18 : 1. Edenthorpe is clearly one village with a strong community sense – it should not be split! There is a minor road running through Edenthorpe which has numerous designated places for pedestrians to cross – it is not a natural boundary. 2. There is a far greater natural boundary between Edenthorpe south side (Fieldside estate where I reside) and Armthrope – the A630 is a fast moving access road to the motorway, and then there are acres of farmland adding to the division. If we were to become part of the Armthorpe ward, accessing the amenities would be impractical and often unsafe for Edenthorpe residents (Eg. Children walking to school should catchment areas alter, pensioners accessing Post Office, etc) 3. In support of point 2, there are no direct public transport links to Armthorpe – the two villages are not on a bus route. In contrast, the entire village of Edenthorpe is linked by bus services, many of which continue on to serve Kirk Sandall and Barnby Dun. 4. Edenthorpe as a whole is self sufficients – it has it own supermarkets, pubs, cafes, doctors, dentists, shops, post office, bank, etc, and does not need to be linked to Armthorpe. These facilities are accessed and enjoyed by all of the village. 5. Community spirit – Edenthorpe is a strong community which has worked hard to build amenities which serve both sides of the village, such as the community centre and Church Balk Pavillion – how would these facilities be split / funded if our ward was divided?? They shouldn’t have to be! 6. In addition to point 5, many of Edenthorpes voluntary community groups work in partnership with Kirk Sandall and Barnby Dun – I repeat, there is an immense feeling of community spirit and neighbourhood support, which we do not want obliterating by the proposed boundary change. 7. It has also been brought to our attention that a similar proposed boundary change to Hatfield was avoided owning to their obvious sense of community. Edenthorpe has the same, if not stronger argument along these lines, with countless groups working both within the village and with Kirk Sandall and Barnby Dun. How this argument can be used for their village and not ours is ridiculously unfair. 8. There are longstanding church links within the current Edenthorpe, Kirk Sandall and Barnby Dun ward. 9. Schools – something I feel particularly strongly about as the parent of two primary age children. The primary schools in the ward at present are the feeder schools for our villages’ “outstanding” secondary school, Hungerhill. They form the pyramid which provides a superb standard of education for our wards youngsters. If the boundary was to change, my children’s primary school would technically be in the Armthorpe ward – how would this affect catchment areas in future? As resident of 15 years in Edenthorpe (400m from the high school), I want my children to attend Hungerhill – not risk a 60mph road and farmers fields to access Armthorpe Comprehensive! 10. Edenthorpe is an expanding village with continual housing development. I realise that the proposed boundary changes are all related to numbers, and an attempt to reduce councillor numbers and save money. Why divide Edenthorpe in an attempt to facilitate this cut back, when it is a growing, flourishing village, which functions superbly with Kirk Sandall and Barnby Dun, and has lno natura link to Armthorpe? 11. Following on from this financial point, if Edenthopre south was to become a minority section of Armthorpe, how likely is it that our distant part of the ward would receive our entitlement of funding? I do not believe that Armthorpe councillors, serving their 10, 000+ residents, would willingly divert funds to the neighbouring village in order to maintain and upgrade facilities. We would become the poorer relation! 12. If the proposed change went ahead, we would simply be tagged onto Armthorpe to make up their numbers for 3 councillors, and help reduce the total number of Doncaster councillors, and ultimately cut costs. 13. There are many other points I could raise against the proposed boundary change, eg. Affect on house prices, insurance, etc....they are too numerous to mention In conclusion I would like to reiterate my opening statement – I strongly object to the proposed division of Edenthorpe – a thriving, supportive and friendly community.
