New Community Blog

This interactive blog forum is intended as a platform for the residents of Park Place, Amersham to get their voices heard.  It has been formed with the sole purpose of making life better for everyone.  We want as many people involved as possible in the blog as we feel it will be a really good way of getting some positive things done here which will benefit all the residents.  It should accurately reflect the needs and aspirations of those who are here.

As the blog is in the public domain, it is highly visible  so has the potential to make a great impact on any outside agencies we link with, for example Paradigm Housing Association.  It will provide instant and continuous feedback to the housing association, Chiltern District Council, King's Church, Tenant Services Authority Audit Commission for example so it will be clear what our needs as a community are and at any given time. Hopefully this will get any issues that arise dealt with quickly, and if it doesn't they'll know about it here!

For any suggestions of what you would like to see included in the this blog either comment below or email parkplaceamersham@mail.com.

To get things started you will find a series of poll style questions at the bottom of this blog (20 questions in all so please bear with it!)- please click and vote for any that  you feel strongly about (if there is any poll that you think should be included but isn't , please comment and I will add it in).

I can use the information from this to prioritise blog topics and can go into more details based on the poll responses.

Paradigm are already considering some proposals already put to them.  Make sure your opinion counts.

It would be good to get a blog ring going with other social housing estates in the area,  so if you can think of anyone on another estate who might be interested in replicating this and joining up to a blog ring please give them a link to this blog and they can email me  parkplaceamersham@mail.com  .

Please feel free to email any pictures you would like to see here, whether its something funny, a nice pic of something  you've seen nearby or highlighting a problem on the estate. Also your stories of life in Park Place (can be anonymous), details of any local events or groups and charities you are involved in and would like to promote.

If your neighbour doesn't have a computer perhaps they could use yours or tell you what things they'd like included and you could pass it on. Alternatively you could suggest they use the computer at a public library.

There are also some links on the right hand side which will take you to lots of interesting stuff about housing to help you know your rights.
