Notice is given, that the Annual General Meeting for QACA will be held on Monday 12th January 2009 commencing at 7.30pm. The meeting will be held in the Committee Room at Quedgeley Community Centre.

All Members are invited.

The AGM usually lasts about an hour, but it gives our members a chance to meet the newly elected Committee, and to have your say in the way we run QACA.

Please come along and support us.

On Monday 6th October. Work started on restoring the Moat.

Initial works involve restoring the flow of water into the area. This will be achieved by diverting the stream into the Moat. Once the water level is achieved the water will then be re-routed back to the stream causing no disturbance to the stream or wildlife.

In an effort to attract youths to participate with QACA. We have just launched a live web chat on the home page. Just scroll down to the bottom of the page, enter your name and start chatting.

Latest News & Events

We have just learnt that Gloucester City Council will be adopting the land off Clearwater Drive in less than 6 months. Planning permission is already under way to construct thirty houses on the site.

This is our last chance to save the area, and we have less than five months to do it in.

Here’s how you can help?

If you have lived in Quedgeley for twenty or more years, we need you to contact us. We need to know if you have used the area in question for any recreational purposes during that time, be it walking, jogging flying a kite, walking the dog, having a picnic or anything else.

To download a copy of the required questionnaire, please follow this link File: Questionnaire QPC 2008.doc I have to warn you it is a long form..

If you do fill it in and return it to Quedgeley Parish Council, please omit the map reference questions. The Parish Council will complete that section for you.

We need as much support for this as possible. What we are trying to achieve, with support from the Parish Council. Is to apply for a Village Green Status. This has been proven in a number of cases throughout the UK. If the land in question has been used for recreational purposes for twenty years with the land owners permission, anybody with enough evidence to support the claim, can demand it be a village green if no such village green exists.

This will really upset a lot of people, but in return by denying the residents of Quedgeley, quality amenities in return for greed, lets hope we win.
