We have had a Penkridge website for many years and I have tried on a couple of occasions to set up a Bulletin Board/Forum on it so that anyone in the community could participate in discussions about Penkridge, its people, its organisations, the good things people want to preserve and the not-so-good things which people may wish to change.  

I have now set up a group on google which will be linked to from our website.  Penkridge people can request to join but it will mean, unlike the previous Forums, that we can prevent all the spam that ruined the other attempts.   

This, hopefully, will be an outlet for anyone living or working in the parish of Penkridge, to say what they wish, about anything - within reason of course.  It can also be the place where we can discuss together how the website can also develop and improve.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE AN INVITATION TO JOIN, THEN ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS
 go to:    http://groups.google.com/group/penkridge   and sign on and apply to join.
 

Forums so far are - WINDFARM APPLICATION  -  CREDIT CRUNCH  -  PATIENT LINK  -  PARISH PLAN

Traffic Control in Penkridge  -    Planning Application on A449 for Caravan Site  -  Open Space adjacent to Silverdene

On there you will also find a Group heading subject called "Patient Link", where you can contribute ideas, suggestions and comments about our valuable Health Service in Penkridge, operated by the General Practice and others at the Health Centre in Pinfold Lane.  Patient Link is a group of Penkridge people who have come together to be a link between the community and the Health Centre, to bring ideas and suggestions forward from you, the patient, in order to better serve the people of Penkridge.

AND the latest FORUM is the "PARISH PLAN FORUM" where you can participate in producing the future Plan for Penkridge. 

Other subjects being discussed are:  Planning Application on A449 for Caravan Site;  Traffic Control in Penkridge;  Rodbaston Windfarm;  Future of Silverdene Site and Open Space around it.  

Other Subject headings will appear on there - it is simply up to you to raise the subject.
