Ouseburn Ward Committee has invited Udecide to work with people that live in Shieldfield to help them decide how £100,000 is spent on improving the local green.
The funding has come from some of the recent developments in Shieldfield, and the Ward Committee has agreed it should be spent on the green with strong involvement from local people. Udecide will be working with the Ward Committee to make sure this happens.
The project has now started and will continue over the Summer. Our first event is happening on Saturday 28 May on the green. Look out for a flyer through your door, or keep checking the website.
A group of local residents and others working in the area has been established to oversee the Udecide project and make sure that everyone has the opportunity to have their say.
Once we have a clear picture of everyone's views and opinions, we will develop a series of designs for the green, and invite all those who took part in the consultation to vote on which scheme they would like to see carried out. The top scheme will then be implemented.
