PLEASE HELP HAMP

This is the story of a part of Bridgwater you probably wouldn't know about unless you lived there. Why does it matter to everyone? Simple. Hamp is a shining example of what can be done very well indeed with public money and lots of local muscle.

 

Take one ordinary housing estate, add good ideas, raw energy and genuine enthusiasm, mix well with generous funding and – hey presto – you have HAMP!

Sounds easy, doesn’t it. But it wasn’t easy at all. And it wouldn’t have happened without the Single Regeneration Budget, a one-off funding scheme designed to kick start imaginative local plans.

 

HAMP had the plans. SRB had the readies. Five years on the old estate is buzzing with initiatives. There’s a flash new website, an equally smart advice and information centre, projects for community safety, the environment, training and much more. Even a home-grown radio station.

 

All this required an extraordinary level of cooperation. There is so much praise due to so many. Cllr Pat Parker, Mayor of Bridgwater, has given his all. The HAMP team are a miracle. Sedgemoor District Council deserves a pat on the back too.

 

The list is endless. But unfortunately the money isn’t. There is no fairy-godmother waiting in the wings with a bag of gold. This time it is going to need big-time generosity from ordinary people.

 

I'm doing my bit for Hamp - helping to keep their name in the public eye....even dressing up:

 

Hamp HalloweenI think I might wear it to Westminster!

HAMP is worth every penny. It can’t survive without your help too
