Kennet Heath Residents Association

Posted by lifes2complicated on June 16th, 2009

KHRA has been formed by volunteers from the Kennet Heath estate residents and is committed to developing the community and working actively on your behalf. We have identified guiding objectives for all our activities.

The association:

  • supports all residence in the challenges that they face
  • works to enhance community cohesion
  • fosters positive community spirit among all residents.

Following a leaflet campaigns canvassing the Kennet Heath Estate residents the challenges identified by the community are:

Committee Framework
  • The committee will be in place for one calendar year –starting January and running through to December.

    • The process for re-election should be agreed in March with elections in December
    The reconvened committee should be in place in January
    The committee should be limited to 18 (eighteen)

  • Committee members should:

    • Attend all meetings and extend apologies when they are not able to in advance of the meeting
    In line with the constitution –non-attendance at three meetings without apologies will be an effective removal from the committee
    Supporting members should be active in support of the portfolios.

  • A minimum of 7 (Seven) votes will be required for approval of a project/funding

    • Where possible voting should take place at committee meetings
    When this is not possible (and this should be an exception rather than the rule), the vote should be posted to KHRA section of the forum with an email sent to each steering committee member to let them know that there is a request for an approval
    Votes should be cast within 72 hours. After this time abstention will be the default position

    Hello Kennet Heath Residents,

    Following the first steering committee meeting at the beginning of this month, we need to gauge our support in the community so please cut and paste the words below, complete with your answers, and email to:
    ResidentsAssociation@KennetHeath.co.uk.

    We will also be distributing leaflets to all houses on the estate. The completed leaflets should be handed in at the reception of Moorside Community Centre on the estate.

    The results of this communication will be discussed at the next committee meeting on August 30.
