May this be the year we save Bourne End's green belt and more!
Consultation is closed and we now wait for feedback. The NLP and response representations will be submitted to the Government (according to WDC) by the 31st March and we've been told to expect to hear more and be ready for a hearing in the summer.
In the meantime the work continues. The calibre of the representations submitted by KBEG and our professionals was outstanding. We would love to share these with you but with over 1000 pages we haven't decided the best way to do this yet, please watch this space for more info on this very soon. Crucially though our fundraising efforts continue. To have got this far and raised all we have is amazing, but we can't stop here. At the time of the hearing we will need to pay out huge sums again to cover our professionals and representatives so we continue raising money till this is done!
So what can you do to help?
- SAVE THE DATE for the 2nd annual KBEG SPRING BALL on the 21st April!
This sold out last year and was a brilliant night as all who attended can vouch. Tickets will be out very soon, get your dancing shoes and smart clothes ready! We need a band/DJ or other form of music for the evening. Is this something you can offer or help with? Can you offer any raffle and Auction prizes? please give what you can and help the success of the evening soar!
- KBEG FUN RUN (or jog or walk). We have a plans forming for a brand new fun run possibly around the late spring time. We have a few volunteers and helpers already signed up but would desperately love more organisers on board. Are you part of a local running club or affiliated with one? Have you ever organised anything like this before? Even if you haven't but feel it's the type of event that suits you, then please get in touch! The potential is limitless but we need more help, so let us know if we can add you to the organising team.
Have you got any other new fundraising ideas? Please support KBEG in any way you can. The future of your Village and neighbouring communities is not secure yet, lets not fall now, lets keep strong and fight this to the end!
Don't forget our fundraising page is always live. If you can't get involved with the events but want to still play your part then please visit the following link and give what you can;

Thank you everyone for being part of this with us!
One small final note, in regards to this facebook page, I've received a couple of private messages again recently noting the theme of some posts aren't particularly KBEG related. Please try to keep all posts KBEG focussed so that everyone following the campaign knows where to find all the information they are after. I don't want to become militant or police the site as it's a page for everyone, but perhaps if something isn't directly about the KBEG campaign or a connection then please use one of the other excellent Bourne End forum pages to discuss your concerns.
Thank you all as always, here's to the New Year!!
