Notes From The Inaugural SENA Meeting on 20 June 2011

+ +

1. Introductions:

+ +

Mike Torbe welcomed residents to the first meeting of the embryonic + South Earlsdon Neighbourhood Association (a SENA pod?!) and we + introduced ourselves.

+ +

2. Background - how we got to this first meeting at the Oak:

+ +

Mike outlined how he and Helen had leafleted roads in the South + Earlsdon area, Where there is currently no residents association, + to see whether residents would find an association of + interest. Approximately 500 households were contacted in Warwick + Avenue, Styvechale Avenue, Osborne Rd, Berkeley Road South, + Providence Street and Moor Street. Several people at the meeting + suggested that Beechwood Avenue, Woodland Ave and Stoneleigh + Avenue should also be invited to join since they are otherwise + quite isolated. The question of the geographical extent of the + association is one to be returned to.

+ +

3. Where do we go from here?

+ +

We discussed how the association might develop, and the suggestions + fell into two areas.

+ +

Firstly, we agreed that we would like the association to provide a + social network to share information about developments or problems + in the area. We would also like to meet more people in our + street(s). While everyone at the meeting agreed this would be a + good idea, there were two groups to think about in particular to + help feel included - those who were newly arrived in the area, + including students, and older residents who might be becoming more + isolated. Social activities suggested were a picnic in the park, a + plant sale, a street sale, a register of equipment residents might + wish to lend to others, a welcome pack for new residents.

+ +

Secondly, the association could work to monitor the physical + environment of the area and work towards promoting appropriate + developments in ways which individual residents cannot. SENA might + work independently or in collaboration with other Earlsdon + associations, depending on the issue. We acknowledged that these + are tough economic times, but there are still options and + decisions to be made about the quality of our neighbourhood + environment and its development.

+ +

4. Communication and organisation:

+ +

We discussed various possible approaches - the Echo, posters, + leaflets, a desk outside the Co-op. A website would also be + useful but so too is personal contact, and residents at the + meeting (all but one of the streets were represented) agreed to + start talking to their neighbours about the association and to + take responsibility for leafleting their streets. The two key + questions may be - What can we do for you? And what can you do + for us? We noted that personal details must be held + confidentially.

+ +

We discussed how we might organise ourselves and agreed that + this would evolve depending on the activities. Funding was + discussed but no decisions were made.

+ +

Mike will continue to act as chair and co-ordinator for anyone wishing + to network with other residents. Ray, Sally and Deryck agreed to + become actively involved.

+ +

5. Next steps:

+ +

We said that we would like to talk to other Earlsdon residents' + associations about how they had developed and the issues they + focussed on. The suggested date for this is July 11th. We agreed + to start with one social activity in August / September - watch + this space.

+ +

The publicans at the Oak had been very welcoming and had given us free + access to the back room for this first meeting. Longer term we + wondered whether we might find a member of the Criterion who + would sponsor us so that we might meet there, at a more neutral + venue where disabled access is possible.

+ +

Dates for your diaries:

+ +

July 11 - meeting with reps from NENA and Rochester Road at + either the Criterion or The Oak, venue to be confirmed.
