One of the main aims of the Thatcham Vision project, and others like it (see this page for details of similar projects elsewhere in West Berkshire), is to involve people in improving where they live.
There are lots of ways in which people can play a more active part in our community. Our recently published action plan includes over 100 actions and pojects and many of them can be taken forward by people from Thatcham. Some proposed projects have already been implemented and action teams have been set up for others.
We will also be setting up new topic teams to look at aspects of Thatcham which are not covered in the current action plan. These include topics like secondary education and health and wellbing.
In addition to proposing new areas for action, the action plan contains specific proposals for ways in which the community can build on and strengthen existing initiatives - like Neigbourhood Watch and Neigbhourhood Action Groups.
Incidentally, the Neigbourhood Watch site linked to above includes the interesting statistic that 3 million Britains can't tell the difference between their neigbours and an intruder: in other words, they don't recognise their neigbours. Do you?
