Great results for Ham and Petersham in the votes for local community projects to receive funding from the Richmond Borough Village Planning Fund. In our last couple of blogs and notices we asked you to vote for Petersham and Ham Sea Scouts to receive help towards the cost of their much needed new scout hut. The great news is that of all the many projects put forward right across all of Richmond Borough this project attracted the third most votes of all the potential projects. Not only that – the Ham and Petersham Neighbourhood Forum – of which Mervyn Smith manager Stan Shaw serves as a member – supported this project and also a bid to fund a feasibility study for a cycle route through the area which would be part of a Kingston – Richmond route, accessible to a broad range of ages and abilities and non-flooding. This project received the joint highest number of votes. Special congratulations are due here to Neighbourhood Forum Committee member Justine Langford who worked very hard on this proposal.
Thanks Justine !
