The pandemic meant that talks, events, support groups, litter picks and health walks were disrupted. Some activates went online, some were solitary walks, and recently some were close family supported events & updates are included on the relevant page.
Even so we stayed busy and have put forward proposals to HCC, SBC, NHDC & GACC in support of our campaigns as follows:
- Cycle paths linked to Stevenage via Bay Lane and into St Nicholas Park. Circa £65.5k funding may be needed, but FoGA have now passed the project on to the Councils.
- Speed & Safety along Great Ashby Way is under review and investigation a new Speed Indicator Device (SID) will be placed around and between Old Bourne Way and Cherwell Drive.
- Schools we are told that a new free school will come to Stevenage and be based at the old Collenswood school, which should solve the secondary school capacity.
- A campaign plan for gently and suitably addressing Anti Social Behaviour is being considered.
- The NHDC local plan needs to be fully researched to gain a deeper insight into what potential there is to be improve services to GA.
- Parking in Great Ashby has been put on hold following the initial approach to the GACC being turned down.
