Street Fair 2006
The 2006 Jericho Street Fair will be held on Saturday June 10th. We are forming a new organizing committee and need new members. We will also need enough volunteers on the day to run the various stalls and catch the kids as they propel themselves out of the bouncy castle.
This requires very little time and gives you a chance to meet more of your neighbours. If you want to join in please contact Sue Pead on 557902 or email admin@jerichocentre.org.uk.
New community centre
The Planning Inspector’s report left open a number of questions about the Canalside development, notably the fate of the boatyard and the scale and design of the proposed new development. What it made quite clear, however, was that British Waterways would have to offer sufficient land to enable a new community centre to be built on the site. As a result British Waterways have been meeting with representatives of the Jericho Community Association – and unsurprisingly are trying to offer as little as they can. But as Chair George Taylor says: “We are spelling out for them how much land it would take to build a viable centre that meets the design brief presented at the Inquiry.”
