BORROWASH SHOPPING SURVEY

I loved the event that took place at Borrowash Methodist Church on the19th February. The local Labour Party held a community consultation event around a local shopping survey. Despite the rain tumbling down lots of local people popped in to view the presentation and share their views about the Village.

A good bakery shop was a favourite with many people with "Birds" their prefered brand. Many people felt they would like a Village Hall in the centre of Borrowash. A significant number wanted a gym/sports facility in the Village. More cash machines were mentioned by over 16% of respondents. My favourite idea was a Farmers Market which I think is really worth a try. Hopefully we can feed the survey results into the right quarters and get some positive action on the many issues raised by local folk.

Local residents Helen Clark and Phillip Whitt did fine work in collating the results and a proffessional job on the written report. Well done Ockbrook and Borrowash Labour Party.
