Rose Hill open evening
This may not be a councillor-blog, but this is certainly a councillor-post, aimed at the few local Rose Hill residents who read this blog.
On 24 April there will be a joint meeting of the Rose Hill Regeneration Partnership and the Rose Hill Residents’ and Tenants’ Association at 7.30pm at Rose Hill Community Centre. All local residents and tenants are invited to come along and find out more about the plans for the building project, the wider estate regeneration, and all the other groups and services who are active in our community.
For once, most of the organisations delivering services on the estate will be in one place at one time, including:
Rose Hill and Littlemore children’s centre
Imagine Nursery
Learning Communities
Rose Hill neighbourhood action group, our local police beat team and PCSOs
Streetwardens
Rose Hill estate manager
Oxford City Council housing development team
Oxford Citizens Housing Association
The residents’ and tenants’ association
Oxford Healthy Living and the Rose Hill health trainers
Rose Hill Primary School
Rose Hill youth club
Rose Hill community association and social club
Rose Hill advice centre
Rose Hill News
It would be great to get a really good turnout, and make sure local people get to have their say about the redevelopment and regeneration.
Are any of the “the organisations delivering services on the estate” non-state funded ? I’m just curious - remembering that once working people used to have a rich variety of voluntary associations delivering all sorts of services. Any wholly member- or subscription-funded orgs there ?
Hello Laban,
The Community Association and Social Club is wholly subscription-funded, but exists in a city council-owned building with rent paid in kind, so I don’t know if they qualify. Other than that, there aren’t likely to be any non-state funded organisations present, though that isn’t to say there aren’t any working on the estate: RH Boys’ FC, RH Scouts, the judo club, Silver Threads (older people’s lunch club) and the Spiritualist Church are the ones that spring to mind.
