The Civic Society had a stand at the Hawk Green Residents Association Mayday Festival, held in bright sunshine on "The Green" on 17th May. The festival theme was a commemoration of the start of the 1914 -18 war. The event included maypole dancing by children from All Saints Primary School, music from the Hawk Green brass band and a range of stands from local groups and craft stalls.
The society's stand included a display on the "Right to Bid" legislation to protect our "Assets of Community Value" and details of our views on the proposed traffic management arrangements associated with the new foodstore the council are planning for Chawick Street car park.
We received seven suggestions of Assets of Community Value from members of the public which the civic society will consider nominating for listing.
We took the opportunity to brief local councillors
and our patron, Andrew Stunell MP, on the society's view regarding the Chadwick Street development traffic scheme and our call for an "independent urban design study" of which the traffic scheme would be an integral part.
Thanks to Arthur Procter for the photos.
