Hot Topics

We're currently working on a series of parallel activities here at Supreme Headquarters Thatcham Vision (aka the Town Council offices in Brownsfield Road). Our main priority is applying for funding, from organisations like Awards for All, and recruiting volunteer helpers. We need both to do things like make videos, record interviews with people in Thatcham, develop our websites and (well, there's a very long list of interesting things that need to be done.)

We're also setting up a series of Hot Topic Teams. These will be small teams (no more than 4 or 5 at the most) which will look at specific and clearly defined - you guessed it - hot topics. Things like youth provision, health service access, personal and public transport. We're aiming to have up to 10 hot topic teams up and running by the end of November.

In parallel with that we're setting up various consultation exercises - we're starting with junior schools and pre-school groups to follow up the Kennet School consultation earlier in the year and we are busy setting-up meetings with other groups.

So if you'd like to help, or suggest a hot topic, or have an opinion you'd like to let everyone know about, or you have any questions about the project you'll find our contact details by clicking here to visit our main site.

By the way, it was a bit ambitious to suggest that we'd post something here every day, of course, but we'll soon have helpers on the team posting as well so make sure you keep track of the blog.
