Ribble Valley Feedbackonline newsletter – May 2012
Dear resident,
Welcome to the May edition of the feedbackonline newsletter. We hope you find this informative and useful. We distribute this every 2 months to residents who have registered an interest in being kept informed. As always, your feedback is warmly welcomed.
What’s been happening since we were last in touch? Well, the launch of our community reporters section of the website (www.feedbackonline.org.uk/community-reports) has been growing in content and stature. Many of our community reporters have had at least one of their reports published. The range of topics is varied and we hope you agree that the quality is very impressive. If you haven't yet had the chance to read these please do spare a couple of minutes to do so...
| | Community reporters This has only been launched since early March but already you are letting us know what you think: Club in crisis - Danny's rallying call to all Blackburn Rovers fans was unfortunately not enough to prevent Premier League relegation. But great to see the passion and spirit in the community. Calling music lovers everywhere - Kasongo admits to liking the Backstreet Boys and invites you to share your musical memories from days gone by. Pavement or a place to park the car - Pete explores the use of our pedestrianised as car parks and questions why people need to park so close to their front doors.
These reports are designed to share ideas, raise local issues and to generate discussion. You’ll see that many of the reports have comments alongside them. We want to know what you think so please do spare a couple of moments to read some of the reports that are of interest to you. And if you have a comment to make, we’d love to hear from you.
