Can You Help?

There are quite a lot of things that need doing to improve this project and make the Walks as good as they can be. Here are some suggestions:

1. Fill out the WAG contact form and we'll be in touch with you as soon as we can;
2. Join our online forum to read news, send in reports and ask questions;

3. Write to your borough councillor and explain your views to them. We can tell you who is your borough councillor automatically. Put your postcode in here:

   (Powered by WriteToThem.com) Also available: Printable list (PDF).

   The BBC has a guide on how to work with councillors and we have guides to how our council works. Try to get councillors involved in finding flaws in the proposal and improving the plan. Show them our questions. Even if the lottery bid is rejected, the council still needs to change its plan.

4. Write to the project manager and ask him to fix the broken parts of the project;
5. Write to the Heritage Lottery Fund, Kett House, Station Road, Cambridge and say which elements of the plan you like and dislike. Ask them to direct the Council to involve the community more.
6. Please tell others about this web site. If we don't advertise the planned clearances, most people won't realise until it starts. Put up a notice at work, tell a local club, add www.thewalks.co.uk to your e-mail "signature" or link it from your own web page. We have some materials available for download.
7. Apparently, local media is public consultation (stage 2 bid vol.2, sect.2.3). So, tell them what you think! Write letters to the Lynn News and EDP, and call phone-ins on BBC R.Norfolk. Send copies to Project Manager Richard Hales at the Borough Council of Kings Lynn and West Norfolk, and the Heritage Lottery Fund, Kett House, Station Road, Cambridge.
8. Stay informed by looking at the latest news each week.

Thanks for your help!

Christmas Cards

Last Christmas, we walked in our park;
But the very next May, you gave it away;
This year, to save us from tears;
We'll send cards to someone special.

WAG members have produced this Christmas Card design which calls on people to help save Broad Walk. We've sent copies to Councillor Nockolds and others, but I'm sure they like getting Christmas Cards, so send more if you want.

You can print a black and white copy onto A4 card using this design file (PDF viewer needed). It folds in half to make a nice greetings card. Write your message inside it. Send it to your local councillors, the Heritage Lottery Fund or anyone else who you think can help us.

If you get a good response, please use the online forum to let us know.
