It’s nice to see that Preston City Council are attempting to become more accessible by creating a few blogs.
Ken Hudson, the Leader of the Council and a local resident has his blog here: Ken Hudson’s Blog
There are also blogs for The Mayor, and The Park Keeper so it could be argued that all the important people in Preston are now on-line.
They don’t have much to say yet, but it’s a start, and we can all leave our comments to encourage a real dialogue between the City Council and local residents.
As you probably know, WICE exists to help create and maintain facilites for the community. Click here to see our business plan, or have a look at the WICE website for more information about how it all started.
We have been awarded a large sum of money towards the building of the all-weather games area ( MUGA ) at Whitechapel, and are now actively fundraising to find the balance required to complete the project.
WICE needs to be properly accountable to the community it serves, and also to the people and institutions who are providing funds. To this end WICE is becoming a company limited by guarantee, and once the company is officially incorporated WICE will apply to the Charities Commission to become a registered charity.
We will be using this blog to keep everyone informed about our progress and activities, and we will be inviting everyone in the community to become members of WICE in order to help direct the projects.
2010 is an exciting year: watch this space ………
