THE FUTURE
The Future can be shaped by the people of Trimdon.
The Partnership asked everyone who attended, no matter what age, to put forward suggestions, ideas and thoughts for improvements in their local community. Lots of opinions were put forward all of which will be considered by the Partnership in their Forward Planning.
Its not too late!!
Didn’t have the chance to put forward your idea? Its not too late simply send it to:
The Partnership c/o Trimdon House Landreth Grove Trimdon TS29 6QH
Surfing in the Centre!
Everyone who attended the Event had the opportunity to become ‘interactive’ on the Trimdon 2000 website.
This embryonic ‘site is waiting for community members, groups and organisations to express an interest in having access to this community information access point. Training can be provided to allow independent access to the website.
The workshop was combined with a competition to win a new Dell Desk Top Computer, donated by a local businessman Gary Atkinson of Xenosys. Gary, who developed the site on behalf of Trimdon Digital Community is keen to see the site working to its full potential. See www.trimdon.org.uk
