Over 100 people turned up at Pinder Hall on Wednesday evening to pitch in their ideas for the Cookham Plan.
Richard Simmons and Chrissy Rosenthal organised a round the room set of themes for people to pitch in their proposals for car parking, sports facilities, a Cookham police house, business and residential development, wind farms and environmental ideas.
Under the headings Places, People, Development, Environment, Economy and transport
In a busy couple of hours all sorts of people came up with all sorts of suggestions...
-
extend the railway to Wycombe again.
-
cycle paths along Sutton Road and Widbrook, and along the Thames Path.
-
Footpaths and cycle ways in Cookham Dean
-
Car park on the Moor/ Marsh Meadow
-
one way systems around the schools on School Lane and High Road
-
More sports facilities like tennis courts, and an indoor sports Hall.
-
Somewhere with a music licence that will stay open past 11:30pm
-
Tourist attractions - a museum, and a Wind in the Willows attraction.
-
Encourage more businesses to open in Cookham to provide local employment.
-
A Wind Farm.
There'll be a leaflet drop to every home in Cookham later in the year and a chance for everyone to have their say in writing.
Watch out for a storm of impassioned ideas and disagreements!
