Draft Community Development Strategy
Community development is about everyone working together to make communities a fantastic place to grow up, grow old, and everything in between.
We have created a draft Community Development Strategy to guide how we partner with our community to achieve the goal.
Have we got it right? Let us know what you think of the strategy that will meet the goal to:
• be a cohesive, single community as well as a collection of smaller communities based on our geographical location or on areas of special interest or identity.
• celebrate our diversity
• welcome newcomers
• learn and share our knowledge with others
• ensure the environment in which we live is safe, strong and healthy both now and in the future
• build stronger, resilient, sustainable local communities
• strengthen the interests and values of our District’s residents by encouraging active participation
• generate community led opportunities and outcomes

Stolen Pot plants
Last week on my return from a few days away a green 33cm shrub tub of petunias was missing from the front of my garage,
Today a 39cm terracotta tub of orange pansies and a 33cm shrub of pansies was mmissing from alongise my driveway in Fairs Road.
I have reported these losses to the police.
Should anyone notice that neighbours suddenly have pots or tubs of flowers, either call the police or ask them to return them. They know where they got them.
