Did you know we have an Active Street Watch team in Arlesey?

Our Mayor, Cllr Arkle joined Street Watch last night to raise awareness of their important role in preventing crime in Arlesey.

Arlesey Street Watch is a very small but extremely hardworking group who would love to welcome new volunteers to join them.

If you would like to find out more and help keep Arlesey Community safe by getting involved, we can put you in contact with the local Arlesey Street Watch Team.

Can you help us add an element of protection to Arlesey’s Women’s Institute Hall by providing the community with a right to bid?

In addition to relisting The White Horse as an asset of community value (ACV), Council would also like to submit an application to Central Beds Council to nominate Arlesey’s WI Hall as an ACV.

We need to collate the same evidence for the W.I. hall. You can strengthen our application by emailing any of the following to [email protected]

• photographs/social media posts of events taking place at the W.I. hall for the last two years and any future Arlesey Community Events groups

• testimonials, letters of support and statements from residents who use the W.I hall e.g. do you have regular weekly / monthly catch ups with friends as your main social interaction / is the W.I. hall a vital resource to the elderly in terms of enabling them to get out and meet others / to parent groups for wellbeing / children’s groups for socialising etc

• have you held or planned regular events at the W.I hall? We need numbers who attend, who attends (i.e. local community, wider community) – e.g. parties, wedding celebrations etc. / regular fundraiser event/ quiz night etc.

• are you a local group who use the W.I. hall? How often do you meet here, how many people attend, what do you use the W.I. hall for e.g. a craft group/ hobby group/ yoga group etc

• other event publicity fliers/posters/social media posts – have there been Community events held at the W.I. hall during the year e.g. summer events, Christmas events,

• print media articles of events that have taken place at The White Horse. This will help the decision on whether the W.I. hall is eligible for inclusion in the List of Assets of Community Value.

We need your help!

Council would like to relist The White Horse as an asset of community value (ACV).

The Community Right to Bid was introduced under the Localism Act 2011, it gives local community groups such as parish councils, a right to nominate a building or other land for listing by the council as an Asset of Community Value (ACV). When a listed asset is to be sold, local community groups will have a chance to make a bid and buy it on the open market.

We need to gather as much evidence as possible from Arlesey residents to support and strengthen our application to Central Bedfordshire Council. We need to demonstrate how The White Horse furthers the social interest or social wellbeing of the Arlesey community.

We need Arlesey residents to support us by emailing any of the following to [email protected]

• photographs/social media posts of events taking place at The White Horse for the last two years and any future Arlesey Community Events groups

• testimonials, letters of support and statements from residents who use The White Horse e.g. do you have regular weekly / monthly catch ups with friends as your main social interaction / is The White Horse a vital resource to the elderly in terms of enabling them to get out and meet others e.g. meals together etc.

• have you held or planned regular events at The White Horse? We need numbers who attend, who attends (i.e. local community, wider community) – e.g. a darts group / regular fundraiser event/ quiz night etc.

• are you a local group who use The White Horse? How often do you meet here, how many people attend, what do you use The White Horse for e.g. a craft group/ hobby group/ socialising group etc

• other event publicity fliers/posters/social media posts – have there been Community events held at The White Horse during the year e.g. summer events, BBQ, Christmas events, watching significant sports such as Rugby matches, World Cup etc

• print media articles of events that have taken place at The White Horse. This will help the decision on whether The White Horse is eligible for inclusion in the List of Assets of Community Value.
