The Meeting to discuss the Village Design Statement held at the Village Hall Saturday 15th February was a great Success!!!

The  public meeting at the village hall on Saturday 15th February, to discuss the importance of the Village Design Statement (VDS) and what it means to the village and its inhabitants was very successful attracting around forty villagers who turned out to fill the village hall.

The meeting was opened by the Chairman of the Parish Council, Sue Ryan and received a presentation by Joan Leslie on the what, why and how to create a  VDS.

Our thanks to Alan Barborne for setting up his video equipment to show a 10min educational video showing some case studies from other villages who have undertaken the work to produce their own VDS documents and the benefits they obtained.

Additionally thanks to Diana.K.Coldicot for an extremely informative presentation on the history of Monxton which helped set the scene.

Finally thanks to all those villagers who turned out to give their up Saturday morning who we hope will come forward to assist with this very exciting and worthwhile project
