What's the current status of allotments in Streatley? I understand that there are some somewhere but who does one contact to get a space.
I understand theat if local people feel there is a need for allotments which is not being met, they can get together a group of any six residents who are registered on the electoral roll and put their case to the local authority.
If there is no availability are there 6 other residents in Streatley who'd join me in putting a case to the West Berkshire Council?

Thanks for your interest. There is already in existence a "petition" - by some 30 individuals - to the Parish Council and a working group has been set up to progress the matter. The secretary is Bernard Clucas, 873698, so please contact him to ally yourself to the cause. Tom Worthington

We are currently commissioning an outline design study to assess where the proposed hydro electric generation facility could be located. Also the technology that should be used. We think there are lots of advantages to the Archimedes spiral but wait for the consultants to get back to us with other options as well. Do you have any thoughts on types of turbines? Where abouts on the wier they should be located? Anything else?

Good luck with the project! I'd like to do something similar in Reading but it's very difficult to generate any enthusiasm here.

Are Goring & Streatley In Transition?
WHAT IS A TRANSITION TOWN/CITY/VILLAGE
A transition initiative is a community that is unleashing its own latent collective genius to look peak oil and climate change squarely in the eye and implement ways to address this big question. “ For all those aspects of life that this community needs in order to sustain itself and thrive, how do we significantly increase resilience (to mitigate the effects of peak oil) and drastically reduce carbon emissions (to mitigate the effects of climate change). The resulting coordinated range of projects across all these areas of life leads to a collectively designed energy descent pathway. The community also recognises two crucial points;
That we have used immense amounts of creativity, ingenuity and adaptability on the way up the energy upslope.
That there is no reason for us not to do the same on the downslope. If we collectively plan and act early enough there’s every likelihood that we can create a way of living that’s significantly ,more connected, more vibrant and more in touch with our environment than the oil-addicted treadmill that we find our selves on to day

I used to have an allotment in Streatley many years ago and was finally defeated by rabbits destroying my fencing and crops (they don't like onions) and the lack of a water supply. If water was laid on I think that they would be very popular.

"I'd be interested in a community allotment scheme - anyone else?
Lisa G" Thanks for your interest, Lisa. We'll wait to see how much interest there is from others, then consider what to do next in th elight of that. So the waiting period for a substantive response depends entirely on the rate of response form others possibly interested. Regards Tom Worthington

With regard to handling membership applications I have the following observations:
1. What do we need in the way of members’ information? People will join the website and hence we will be able to communicate with them through that. For those a computer and email there will be the normal posters around the village. In addition, they can periodically go online (perhaps in the library) to look at the website.
2. Do we need a formal membership list, that can be audited, as part of being a charity? What information would we need? Are name, address, telephone number as currently on the brochure sufficient? Do we need a signature?
3. I suggest we keep the membership list offline. We don’t need an online form on the website, nor an online database of members.
4. To comply with the Data Protection Act we need to protect the membership list and only use it for membership purposes. I suggest we discuss the details at the meeting on 5th December.

1 - Name email, telephone, land address would be nice but not essential
2. Yes as a membership org we have to keep an auditable membership list but for communication perposes it is also important. Signatures are not required I don't think
3. Agree with off line
