What is your vision for your community?
We are creating a community vision for the area, shaped by you. To help us do this we would like to understand what is important to people in the Search Area when thinking about the future of their area.
The Community Partnership is gaining the views of local people to develop a community vision as part of its activities on the Geological Disposal Facility (GDF) programme. We have a key role to create a community vision and will work with you to make sure it reflects the community’s hopes and aspirations for the future.
Conversations have started and are focussing on four topics. Our Place, Our Economy, Our Education and Our Environment. Please share your views on these and tell us what is important for you and your family. What do you want to see in the area for future generations?
Being Involved
This is your future, your community and your say. You can be part of creating a vision for the area in different ways.
Visioning Form
A leaflet and visioning form were delivered to households in the Search Area covering the wards of Withern & Theddlethorpe and Mablethorpe a few weeks ago.
Please complete and return this form in the freepost envelope provided.
Share your views using our online form: What is your community vision?
Events
The engagement team working on behalf of the Partnership will be offering you the chance to discuss your ideas and complete a form in person. They have been present at Poppies on the Prom and the Mablethorpe Carnival over the summer talking to the community.
Information on future events will be here on the website: Get Involved page
Nuclear Waste Services (NWS) are working with the Community Partnership to identify a community vision and what this might mean for the Significant Additional Investment package that will be made available to the community that hosts a GDF.
This investment would enhance the economic benefits that hosting a nationally significant infrastructure project could bring, and recognises the commitment that would be made by the host community. The vision could, for example, include improved transport infrastructure, local education and skills provision, or services.
