The cost of travelling to Evesham or Stratford on the 28 bus is extortionate. The bus is usually late or doesn't turn up and finishes early in the evening
Road resurfacing,Brookdale and. Blakenhurst
The footpath on Church street leading up to the church.
Narrow overgrown footpaths together with car parking making it difficult for wheelchair users.
The area surrounding the track from Finch Lane and Grange Lane to Ellenden Farm Shop and Village Street-where the footpath comes out by the bustop.
Could be on the land opposite Steppes Piece on the Alcester Road
Pavement in Hughes Lane the Tarmac is tired and there is an awkward slope that's caused a number of falls. Plus the hedge from Hughes Lane into Village Street obstructs the pavement and forces people into the road. An accident waiting to happen.
room with coffee bar, pool table, wifi,not sure what else they would want!
It's a great pity that the weekly gatherings at the Coach and Horses ended. Revive, and make permanent! Also maybe exercise groups in the village hall, yoga, tai chai, keep fit...
The green space on Village Street at the end of Ragley road.
More frequent train service through Evesham. What I'd really like is the old railway through the village...
I am totally opposed to building on the fields between the back of Ragley Road and Ellenden Farm. It would change the character and aspect of the village significantly, and threaten Ellenden's business which is a great village asset.
there should be no development at all until the problem of the culverts under the A46 and the old A46 and the harvington brook has been greatly improved to stop flooding in exceptional rain periods
Make the bus fare cheaper that the cost of driving plus parking!
The existing youth facilities provided by the churches are good but provision of other options would be beneficial
[Response omitted to preserve anonymity]
On any areas thar are under agricultural use.
The paddock behind the Village street bus stop which is currently unused.
Lunch club or other social gathering at least once per week.
We should utilise space within the village rather than expand it.
The 'facility' mentioned earlier could accommodate a youth club
Both sides of the footpath leading down to the brook (to the area known locally as Monkey Island) and the orchard beyond
Buses through the Lenches to Worcester would be useful for visiting friends/church/club etc
Green field sites - because brown field sites should be used first
Indoor meeting place for social interation
Fields near caravan park and river.that part of the village is so separate from the rest of the village it would be better bringing the village together
PATHS AT THE MOMENT ARE OK, HOWEVER THE PATH ALONG PLAYING FIELDS INTO THE FILED BEHIND GETS OVER GROWN OR NARROW WITH STINGING NETTLES ETC, PARTICULARLY BEHIND THE SCHOOL.
Access to playing field - private road is poor condition for anyone with walking problems, wheelchair or children's pushchair.
As many years ago, a 'village nurse' to call on people in their home to deal with medical assistance as needed eg changing dressings, injections etc. This person to be based in the new clinic, if it happens. Better than visiting district nurses who are less village orientated. More confidence, especially for older people, who will have the same person always to rely on.
The other green triangles with trees on them down Village Street, at junction of road to The Grange, and lane leading behind the old Rectory
There used to be , years ago after the Beeching cuts, a bus service to Birmingham, going via Alcester, Redditch, along the top road. Getting to Birmingham by public transport is a real headache.
seat outside Golden Cross needs repairing
Meeting room with games, coffee making facilities etc. run by a committee of the teenagers overseen by volunteer adult who can offer advice.
At the junction of Hughes Lane and Village Street, the public pavement along village street (in direction of Grange Lane) is frequently blocked by vehicles parked on them (particularly outside the property where wooden posts have been installed adjacent to the pavement). Also in the direction of Cedar Lodge the narrowness of the pavement is exacerbated by overgrown hedging. Further, pedestrians are forced to cross Village Street (opposite the school/allotment track) where the pavement comes to an end, which is dangerous particularly when the road is busy when parents are bringing/collecting children from school.
I do not have a disability but feel that the public footpaths local to the village would not be readily accessible to the disabled or wheelchair dependent.
Possibly a drop in cafe type venue which is not necessarily linked to the churches or sports venues in the village, where teenagers can buy non-alcoholic beverages and snacks.
Young children appear to be well provided for by the nursery in the village hall and playing field facilities. However, I do feel that the facilities in the playing field could be extended for older children. The playing fields in Bidford and Broadway are much better, providing e.g. zip wires, skate boarding, witches hats. Perhaps tennis courts and/or squash courts could be provided to maximise opportunities for fitness and prevent obesity?
That part of the Ellenden farm land lying immediately behind Ragley Road (part of which is presently the subject of a planning application by Gladman developers) extending up to the public footpath from the rear of Hughes Close up to Village Street. I would love this to be planted as a community woodland.
I cannot think of any other sites that would be suitable for large scale development. However, there may be modest areas presently in private ownership where, say, 1 - 5 houses might be constructed without adverse impact.
I'll ask our daughter to complete the survey.
there is what I presume is a public right of way which is a well used walk behind Finch Lane and Hughes Close which then borders Ellenden fields and from which the farm shop can be safely accessed on foot
To be honest, I think it is fair to say that most folks living in a village would expect to commute for work with the exception of people working in traditional village establishments such as the pubs, farmshop, school and Post Office. The latter will be a sad loss to the village. As a local business, we have literally gone out of our way to work with a process which allows us to support the local Post Office when that is cost effective to us as a business. One thing that my daily visits have shown me is that the Post Office is very much like a meeting hub, both outside the shop, over at the Chapel or simply locals chatting on the pavement. If the convenience store doesn't become our local Post Office, I do wonder if a community run facility has been considered - perhaps run from one of the pubs?
Not sure but I answered yes as I am aware how dangerous the village centre is when parents vehicles are parked to pick up or drop off children at the school but then I guess mostly street parking is available when other locations are in use
no building on areas which would clearly spoil the outlook for existing residents - unless single story and only then if land drainage isn't adversely impacted.
Fields around Ellenden Farm shop. They are part of the essence and ethos of the village
Near school, people patking there cause chaos, but not sure where this woul go
Old orchard between crest hill and the playing fields. This is used by the community and developing this area would encourage unsustainable numbers of houses to be built as it currently forms a border
The green space in the middle of the Malthouse Close development needs attention. Shrubs need pruning, rubbish needs clearing and the problem relating to fencing at the back of The Steps needs solving. Rooftop Housing Association and the Wychavon Planning Department apparently have this in hand - but no action visible yet.
The answer should come from the teenagers themselves
Crest Hill, because the road is totally unsuitable for a large increase in traffic, the junction to/from the site would be hazardous and the field forms an attractive approach to the village.
Some paths within the village get very muddy as soon as there is any rain. Some of them also get overgrown with brambles and nettles at some times of the year, which are a nuisance for users (including dog walkers)
Somewhere to congregate where they would not cause a disturbance to local residents. Skate park, cycle path links to other local villages, coffee shop.
Not directly related but Resurfacing of Brookedale road. It is very badly deteriorated.
Road Surface up to and including Brookdale and Blakenhurst are in a state of bad repair
Spaces already considered social amenity land and also productive Farm land. Why? Because amenity land is important for residents well-being and productive arable land because it is productive farm land.
Behind bus shelter opposite Golden Cross
I don't know what facilities he elderly need! But I guess they may need them?
The youth club is very important, keep it, provide support and encouragement to the volunteers.
Near the village hall and behind the school
Station Rd near Village Hall too dark - needs a streetlamp - possibly activated by pedestrian movement
Additional defibrulator and a list of trained persons, and clearer notification of how these can be accessed. Is it necessary/possible to train more people?
Walkway from Village Street to Ellenden Farm Shop.
Any of the villages large, open areas, because this is a small village with limited infrastructure and the open spaces are a village amenity.
Single plot open spaces fronting the existing road system, thus providing basic infill which would tidy up the village.
The arable land that backs onto Hughes Close and Ragley Road Which also surrounds Ellenden Farm.
Again the arable land that backs onto Hughes close and Ragley road which also surrounds Ellenden farm.
i am new to the village and am not sure what facilities are availible
IN LEYSFIELD OUTSIDE NO 12 FOOTPATH TREE ROOTS ARE PUSHING THROUGH ASPHALT.
Some pavements are encroached upon by vegetation. The pavements are also verynarrow.
Access for wheelchairs around the village.
A meeting area to enable them to exchange ideas, views and opinions.
A reinstatement of the railway, but that would be extremely unlikely.
Can't be solved by planners; needs willing leaders, space, and probably transport occasionally.
As in previous question, it's leaders who make the difference. For all questions regarding additional facilities, my general comment would be that anyone thinking of providing these be encouraged to make them complementary to what already exists, as multi-functional as possible, and widely accessible. The more places there are where people meet naturally and informally, the better the chances of community life flourishing.
Better integration of all public transport services, especially buses (long-distance and local) and trains.
Preferably not to the east side of the A46, nor further up Leys Rd. beyond the Community Orchard. Better to consolidate between A46 and B4088; best of all to respect present development boundaries,but maybe some modest extensions north and south of Village Street and north of Station Road (but see answer re. overall numbers)
Near enough to the school and village hall for the school run parking
Footpaths in Ragley road where tree roots are pushing it up..non maintained paths in Hughes lane...drains completely blocked outside my house and opposite when it rains the road floods
If more housing to be built a proper doctors surgery like the one at Bedford..it's a long way to walk in evesham to a Drs if you have to use the bus
Teenagers meetings.not church ones. Like a youth club...when I was a teen we had a cafe we used to go to
Play area in less rd with swings etc ..too dangerous for them to cross main rd..maybe film nights during the year ..a couple of discos etc
Triangle of land bottom of grange lane with tree on it..banking on left as you go down station bank. Area of land bottom of cress hill before last set of houses..called the Marley hole
Somewhere by the village hall...when dos are on impossible sometimes to get around and into our road....
Clubs, Discos, organised activities etc.
The 28 bus doesn't run in the evenings, which means that it isn't possible to go out to Evesham or Stratford for dinner/pub/drinks/party unless you have a car. I think that the buses should run until midnight.
More then just the youth group, something where they can go most nights.
tennis courts or other sports facilities would be good. A monthly cinema would be good for everyone!
The open area beyond the Playing Field that leads down to the bottom of Crest Hill
No - I think the Stratford bus service is very good
Somewhere near the village hall as that is where it is needed - for events there and for people visiting the school
No - but what does need to be controlled is the amount of the development at one time. That proposed at the moment is far too much for the village to cope with at one time
If the village spar shop ever closes this would be a good space for a community space.
Narrow access to the village shop for wheelchairs.
Eye testing. hearing testing for the elderly.
Cinema club. Activities that would allow them to feel included in the village. Place where they can meet regularly in safety.
Older people can feel isolated so a place to meet and have a cup of tea and a chat. The lunch club was a good idea. Tea dances to allow a bit of exercise while meeting up.
Cycle paths and safe walk ways with bird watching places to encourage young people to be aware of nature and learn to care and respect it.
Weekly bingo somewhere where a licence bar is available.
All of the Ellenden farm area fields up to and including fields that back gardens of Hughes close back on to inc dog training area etc etc.
Late 28 bus back from Stratford like it used to be, so we can go for a meal or evening out without driving or re mortageing the house to get a taxi
Feid behind Hughes close down to Ellenden farm. Because it will destroy the view from my house. And take away the Agriculture from the village.
Many of the pavements are too narrow for wheelchairs or scooters.
The area below Crest Hill. This site is critically important to the Conservation Area of the village. Any development in this area would destroy the view both into and out of the Conservation area, and would change the nature of the historic part of the village.
Any agricultural land because as a nation we are unable to provide our own food by 33%. Any green or scrub or orchard land because it is this land that maintains the rural and village nature of Harvington which is why, I would suggest, the majority of people live here and have paid a premium to do so.
Can't really think of any. Small scale infil is all that should be considered. I cannot think of any suitable areas for this. Certainly not any large scale greenfield sites as currently on the table for Crest Hill and Village Street.
The Sunday bus service (28) to Stratford must continue
Somewhere convenient for people taking their children to school. Currently they park all along village street, which is very dangerous for people who live on Village street to come out of their drives as it's very hard to see what is coming along the road with the parked vehicles in the way.
Somewhere to play outdoors in winter when dark. Suggest enclosed play area which is floodlit for a few hours at peak time of use.
Community sporting facility for keeping fit maybe in small leisure facility. Perhaps badminton, indoor bowls, walking football, table tennis etc.
Toddler group if not already here. Safe, well lit play area for children and young people to use outdoors in winter.
The Common area next to the playing field
Fields nearest Ellendon Farm and common area behind crest hill houses next to playing field
Buses back from Stratford later in the evenings and a reduced fare, or another fare for students
We do not have any seating in public areas of the village
Convenient Public Transport to Worcester Hospital
Lower Village Street pavement in poor/dangerous condition. Repairs first requested about 2 years ago
Youth club/organised sport sessions - possibly personal development courses
The walking area above the fields leading down to Ellenden. The field at the bottom of Crest Hill
The overgrown area behind the village hall - it might then reduce the parking on the narrow lower end of Village Street
Answer entirely depends on the kind/scale of proposed development
Behind Hugh Nunn's nursery, where he put in for a house
Youth Club or meeting place/coffee bar, that will be available most evenings.Something similar to our Outside Youth Centre in Evesham.
Outside Youth centre in Evesham has a very good model on which we could build our own centre. they cater for all ages, and offer support for those youngsters that need it.
The glebe land on the left of Alcester Road, which is behind Marsh Close, The Rowans and Blakenhurst.
Lack of street lighting between Coach and Horses / St James church and the junction with village street.
Reinstate the evening buses from Stratford to Harvington
Development on Crest Hill seems particularly unsuitable due to the traffic implications on that road.
The pavements and road surface in Blakenhurst/Brookdale is appalling
Being a resident of Brookdale/Blakenhurst i would not want to see houses built on the fields behind us. These fields are used a lot by walkers and local wildlife and it would be a huge loss. I understand the ned for new housing, but would miss any of the open spaces we have in the village at present if they were to be built on.
Any site on the edge of the village such as the field on the Evesham Road opposite Ellenden rather than land inside the current village
indoor bowls in the village hall or school, possibly badminton
All the countryside immediately around the village
around the village orchard, along the Salford road towards Salford priors.
BROOKDALE NEED RESURFING NEVER BEEN TOUCHED IN 30 YEARS
DANCE NIGHT MEALS GET TOGETHER EVENTS ECT OVER 65 EVENTS
Skateboard/scooter ramps etc at the playing field
There definitely needs to be a playground in the Leys Road area. I was under the impression that one was agreed when Groves Close was built - that was in 2007.
A separate club house with snooker and table tennis and indoor sports facilities.
The fields belonging to Ellenden farm. Reason - they are good agricultural land and there are drainage problems. It would also spoil the local views.
Crest Hill, because it borders the conservation area. At the moment the view reflects the rural nature of the village. Development here would turn it into an urban environment.
organised communal activities at a variety of locations including pub, school, village hall and churches
They should be 'dog-free', eg play ground.
Scenic river taxi to Stratford & Evesham leaving from the bottom of Anchor Lane.
Green field sites and conservation areas. Older parts of the village should be protected too.
Agricultural land needed for our future foods
Crest hill, would ruin the village entrance and dangerous for traffic.
Land between Ellenden Farm Shop, Village Street and Ragley Road.
Local business expansion should be encouraged especially where employment opportunities exist.
Around Ellenden Farm Shop as the potential development there could reach Norton.
Crest Hill is an ideal infill site surrounded by other houses. It is largely south facing and would be environmentally sound. This development would provide affordable housing for the young people in the village, which would not be available in smaller developments.
Youth group with activities like table tennis, football challenges etc
Over hanging bushes from gardens. Residents needs telling. Also family in village are still driving on grass even now posts installed. Needs addressing
A few more play things in park behind school. Fenced off dog walk area in corner of main field perhaps. Somewhere to let dogs off safely.
Exercise Classes or out door Gym equipment - trim trail type facilities that could be used by all at any time would be good!
No - I just think anything that encourages youngsters and youth to enjoy the great outdoors would be good. Cubs / Scouts for example.
The fields surrounding Ellenden Farm Shop
The bus service to Stratford is very good and we sometimes use it as a fun break from driving even though we have our own cars... However the price for tickets seems to have gone up recently to more than £5 for a single adult journey! THERE IS NO POINT IN HAVING BUS SERVICES THAT ARE UNAFFORDABLE - so I'd rather have fewer bus services that are cheaper than more bus services overall.
The fields surrounding directly Ellenden Farm Shop - this is valuable farm land - an open space with paths enjoyed by the community and an area of beauty that defines the character of the village on approach from Evesham - it means I'm home!! The allotments also define village life as do other aspects / views of open farm land that define Vale life and rural heritage!
What about a marina development that would save Harvington Mill from decay and represent a real asset to the area by promoting further tourism to the village as well as for local residents with a small number of commercial outlets such as coffe shop, hotel or riverside restaurant ? Something to restore Harvington Mill and make it a real community asset for all to enjoy!
The pavement in Orchard Place has been improved but instead of working on all the pavement they have only completed small sections of this and then left. Why did they not complete all the pavement at the same time?
It is increasingly difficult to obtain a doctors appointment in Evesham. For this reason I think a surgery in Harvington would be very welcome.
Parking/vehicle control around the school need improving/better control at start and end of school day.
Clubs/sports/activity centres not associated with the churches
Footpaths and rights of way need clearing
Harvington is a village, and that is why people have chosen to live here.
Near the school to avoid the bottleneck at same during drop off and pick up when traffic can be parked for several hundred yards and access past parked vehicles made very difficult
Just bear in mind these need some attention.
meeting and feeding facility. New community hall.
We should continue to support the Youth Project.
possibly but can't think of others at present.
Field adjacent to Ellenden farm to protect local views
There will be the occasional re-development/ infilling opportunities.
Some paths are still uneven although a lot have been recently improved, which makes it easier in a wheelchair
Youth group very good but need more for 15 plus to do
The village should not increase substantially in any direction except on a brown field site.
Potential of moving cricket and play area more centrally to land behind Hughes close and lane
If further development is essential the land off anchor lane on the other side of the a46 where the cricket ground currently is may be suitable with careful design plans. The road access is good and with more tree cover a small development could be well hidden keeping in line with asthecially pleasing views of the area. Development here would not impact on the heart of the village but would be a good location for commuter families. This may not be an ideal location for sheltered/retirement homes as not central to amenities.
I have complained about 1 footpath being blocked with weeds etc and action was taken very quickly. Many pavements are restricted by encroaching hedges and weeds making walking with a child difficult.
Swimming Pool at the school so it would be available for all ages!
An ongoing question. The young people should be able to come up with ideas.
With an excellent playing field, school clubs and the youth group, I think children are pretty well provided for. There is a lot on offer.
Doctor surgery would be good, I think most people have to travel at least 4 miles to see a GP
Local business premises, I have employed someone in the past. When I grow I shall have to find larger premises than my home office at the moment that would mean looking at premises in Evesham or Alcester.
On the field behind the playground that is used by dog walkers, there is a great sense of community amongst the dog walkers that regularly walk there, think losing this would be a great loss. Also the fields on the left hand side as you leave the village. The farm where there is a public footpath that run from the main road to the back of Blakenhurst, the new orchard and Leys Road. The views from the walks are stunning you really get a sense of being in a the Vale of Evesham, will hills all around you, as you can see for miles. It my favourite place to walk. I think building here would ruin the whole feeling of our lovely rural village. I appreciate that Harvington needs to grow due to the housing crisis in the UK, however having grown up in a city, I really don't want Harvington to lose its villagey feeling. I love living here, I think growth should be done slowly and sensitively so Harvington can continue to be a smallish village in a beautiful rural location.
How about closer to the river, it could be an added bonus if we could more of a sense of community with Harvington be more on the river. I've only ever walked to the River once, as it doesn't have very easy access and you feel very isolated as a solo walker. Harvington is a such a safe village it was only walk were I felt vulnerable. Ideally with a bridge over linking us to Offenham
Where they can meet in a safe environment. To be used for discussions, disco, a wide range of learning facility, where adults may be able to give voluntary classes to youngsters who want to improve but under supervision.
If possible in the centre of the village, but I would not know which field could be made available for this facility. It is needed for meetings at the village hall and for various activities in our churches.
lack of maintenance to footpaths in general and more dog bins are needed?
dancing or yoga lessons in village hall.
most young people and children seem happy enough on their mobile phone,xbox or computer!
the orchards behind the church off Shakespeare lane known as cherry orchard.
in fill gaps only no large scale development.
The area to the south of Village street threatened by Gladman
4 plus cars parked on the pavement to the left of our property. My Wife has a mobility scooter which she has to drive on the. Road beyond double yellow lines for a distance of 200 yards. This applies to other families with young children.
Cars parked on the pavement to the left of our property blocking access to mobility scooter , prams etc
more clubs eg bingo crafts coffee mornings
Sound loops are either not used or faulty or absent
All developments should be a mix of housing types and anything zoned for housing should be available for development.
State of the road in Grange Lane - bad surface
Large Ellenden field next to their shop, Ellenden field behind Ragley Road and Hughes Lane. Prime agricultural land. World increase in population we are going to need every possible acre of existing arable and pastural land to feed ourselves.
Perhaps a social club so they don't hang around streets.
Later busses to everywhere would be nice! Think the last bus to Stratford is 6.30pm ish. I would use the public transport in evenings if the option was there.
No clue but driving along village street and round the village green when the picking/dropping of the children up from school time is quite annoyingly busy with parked cars.
I work down the old anchor lane over the by pass, I'm not convinced the drainage will be supported with new builds around this side of the village.
Definitely no sites that should be considered.
Orchard Place pavements refurbishment not fully completed
THERE IS NO MORE NEEED FOR HOUSING IN HARVINGTON
Somewhere to drop in in evenings - pool etc - apart from Baptist chapen - possibly new centre in Leys Road
The track down to Ellenden Farm from behind Hughes Close (as was made plain when the planning application was put in on the Ellenden Land, this is just a farm track and we have no actual right to walk over this to Ellenden)
I think worst parking problem is round the school and village hall, and post office - I have to suggest this but there is an argument for taking in a couple of the allotments adjoining the school as a parking place, and improving the access to the allotments.
crest hill because it is an important entrance to the village visually. On the main Ellenden fields because that area is needed for agriculture
The parking area provided by Rooftop Housing for all of the Hopkiln Cottages is very poorly maintained by the landlord, if the Parish Council could have words that would be appreciated, we are lucky if they cut the weeds down annually, its ridden with potholes, no tarmac, like a dust bowl or quagmire and its been like it for 25+ years that I've lived here, this is our only vehicle access and something needs to be done to make it safer and, as part of the conservation area, much better to look at!!
A paramedic or first aider local that can respond to emergencies until ambulance arrives.
An internet cafe which can be utilised by all age groups.
joint internet cafe use with the youger folks, they can help each other with lessons etc, cv's, jobsearch etc
still going with the internet cafe idea as think in the future everyone will be on the internet, young kids should be on computors as young as possible to get a good head start in life with new technologies, this could be a social club style place.
All that remains of Crest Hill, the fields along the edge of the village running along the main road past the Stratford Road entrance (the one-way part) and round to Station house. ALL remaining ancient orchards and hedgerows.
The bus companies should have a bus pass that can universally be used on any bus service, my son bought a pass then often got left in the cold by drivers saying that's for a different company, how's a school kid is meant to know who owns the bus.
Anywhere that requires the destruction of more of our ancient orchards and hedges (like already happened on Crest Hill)
There are not enough facilities to support more housing/population
Continued Parish Council support for the village Youth Project
SLOPE TO SHOP AND POST OFFICE FOR WHEELCHAIR USERS, DOORS MAY ALSO NEED TO BE WIDENED
UNSURE WHAT AS I DON'T HAVE TEENAGERS NOW BUT I BELIEVE THERE IS ONLY THE CHAPEL ONCE A WEEK
WHEN MY DAD WAS ALIVE THERE WAS A SENIOR RESIDENTS CLUB HELD IN THE VILLAGE HALL, THIS NO LONGER EXISTS
A LIT PLAYING FIELD, SO FOOTBALL COULD TAKE PLACE
REOPEN THE RAILWAY LINE GIVING A DIRECT ROUTE TO BIRMINGHAM
THE LAND ELLENDEN FARM RENT AND OFF CREST HILL
Farmland/fields between lake/stream and paddock/stables belonging to The Grange and field/orchard adjacent to footpath past stables, leading to Finch Lane and down to bridge over stream leading to remaining few fruit orchards.
Remaining farmland/fields/orchards between A435 and Harvington bypass - to preserve what little is left of Harvington's agricultural heritage and prevent it from becoming another concrete suburb of Evesham!
No - our rural village should remain a rural village and not become just another urban sprawl
Should be seating in or beside Bus shalters
Somewhere in the area of the church/village hall . ie in the village center .
more sports activities for keeping people healthier and more active.
Bus prices are too expensive for teenagers to go to town meaning they are often relying on their parents. This means they have reduced access to the facilities in town. Despite this i have no idea what facilities are needed.
Reduction in transport costs. £3 for single to Evesham is so much I actually walk home from Evesham instead of getting the bus
Parking for the Church, or a car park by the school for school drop offs, and play area (park) access.
The fields by the farm shop should definitely be avoided, although they will be easy access, it impedes the view from the footpath and one of the only farm land visible on entry into the village. I would also hate to see housing in the blackberry field. I know as a child i used to love playing in the blackberry field and i feel that building on or near to that plot prevent children being children and playing. The field is also an attraction to blackberry pickers and makes a nice walk with dogs along the public footpath. I feel that the footpaths will be ruined by the housing development scheme as people have nowhere to let their dogs of the lead, this could in turn lead to a rise in dog faeces on paths along the roads.
N/A. The school will not cope with development and neither will the other facilities or places of interest. It would be extremely unsustainable to build in this already large village. It would destroy the aesthetics of the village as a whole and give thatched cottages no place in a 'modern' village. People will have to commute to work and this means more traffic on the roads and thus more pollution.
Activities that will help their future job prospects, eg volunteering in the village to be encouraged, safe cycle routes for them to use, activity (play) equipment to improve their fitness designed for older children and somewhere to hang out that is run by the teenagers for the teenagers with minimal 'adult' input
the village do a lot already but some feel it is too cliquey. footpaths could be improved so that those less mobile can get around easier, groups for knitting and sewing but open to all age groups so knowledge can be passed on along with woodworking etc.
more play equipment for the leys road side so that the busy main road does not have to be crossed. Indoor play area or covered at least so that they have somewhere to play in bad weather
The fields by Ellenden farm shop, although some development is probably going there it should not become an estate, it should retain its rural aspect
A better value service. The current service is one of the most expensive routes in the uk and it is cheaper for me to use my car. Te times I need to travel include when school children are travelling, this is my idea of hell, maybe they should have their own bus!
A clinic space available for use by visiting health care professionals - podiatrist, district nurses for ambulatory clinics (continence, leg ulcer club, dressing clinic etc) as well as advanced nurse practitioner or GPs from different practices on different days of the week.
I understand the District Council already has the required amount of land for the foreseen need, so I don't think that any other areas should be out up for development
I live on one of the only roads that doesn't have double yellow lines and its impossible to get in or out during school drop off and pick up
Not sure but something to keep them off the streets
The informal dog walking field behind the playground as this is a real social point and a valuable resource not just for Harvington but for the surrounding villages, it is one of the key reasons I wanted to buy a house in the Village and has been one of the only ways in which I have met some lovely people (not having children and living on my own this provides a way to meet people and a safe environment to walk dogs - a hugely valuable asset to the village)
Parking around the school needs attention and more control at both ends of the school day.
Crest Hill, Will ruin views towards the conservation area.
Buses from Evesham Railway Station could be linked to train arrivals
NEAR THE SCHOOL TO GET SCHOOL STAFF INTO THE SCHOOL CAR PARK AND TO EASE TRAFFIC AT SCHOOL TIME, BECAUSE OUTSIDE OUR HOUSE ITS A NIGHTMARE, ALSO PARENTS ARE ALSO TO LAZY TO WALK
Youth club for 14 to 16 year olds in village hall.
Tea or coffee and a chat in village hall. Bring back the lunch club for the fifty plus.
During school times could park in Coach and Horses car park.
Area L on the map has been used by many dog walkers including myself for many years. Many of us meet on the field and it is a socialisation for the dogs. It is an important meeting place for local people to congragate, discuss everyday issues and help and support each other if and when needed. It would be a great loss to the community.
Anchor lane by the caravan park/golf course. It is still part of the village.
The road surface down Brookdale is absolutely disgusting it is in very bad state of repair the last time we mentioned it to the local counciler it was classed as not a priority !!!! I wonder who will pick up the responsibility when a child has a bicycle accident or an adult has a motor cycle accident we would be gratefull if it could be looked at
In close vicinity to the school to enable safer drop off and pick up from the school
Pavements in Orchard Place are a mess. Some patches have been resurfaced while others have not. The result does not look attractive. Some hedges have been almost destroyed to repair the pavement. Personally I feel the pavements on the main road to Norton should have been repaired first and in a more professional manner .
Facilities already exist, e.g. youth club.
Fields surrounding Ellendon's Farm shop. Some are used for agriculture and some for open days
Request the X50 Alcester to Worcester service operated by First group stops in Harvington
Not on Ellenden field as proposed by Gladman. Developments should be small in size for up to 10 houses
Pavements need attention, they are overgrown and difficult to negotiate especially if you are walking with children.
No, the vicar is doing a good job organising things for the local children.
Where there are Conservation Areas, and where new builds would not fit in with the village cottages.
Verges to The Rowans are seldom maintained except by the Parish Council.
Film nights or matinees in the Village Hall. Theatre/ museum outings, visits to different places e.g. seaside.
Areas which are currently used for leisure activities, including those where villagers walk/ exercise their dogs. Farm land and Glebe land (unless being developed for biomass etc.) since this is a market gardening area with land and a climate which is particularly suited to this type of farming and orchards.
Brownfield sites since they ate have previously been developed.
crest hill, for the reasons which have been brought to the planning departments attention in recent months regarding Mr Taylors application. particularly the road safety aspect...
Separate space always important for this age group. Options for youth work support. Internet Cafe type base?
Fitness opportunities. Drop in centre maybe? Dementia cafe!
There is very little for teenagers in the village. Important to ask them what they want rather than decide for them.
Like with the teenagers - ask the elderly what they specifically would like. Not really applicable for me to answer.
Totally against Crest Hill, believe the village should grow from the centre outwards and protect our green spaces.
It needs to be convenient for the village hall
Footpaths outside our property are a cause for concern
Just more activities aimed at teenagers in general
Would be nice to have a bin at the playing field as we often have to collect other people's rubbish and then take it to the bin by the village hall
Footpath on Stratford Road left descending extremely overgrown - you could not fit a pram on the path. Path between Harvington and Salford Priors needs clearing and redefining.
Organised activities that use community spaces
The playground should be free from dogs and their mess to allow children to play safely.
Small plots attached to existing properties
I am unable to get from home to village amenities on my pavement mobility scooter due to the pavement being obstructed by cars parked fully on the pavement along B4088. This also applies to mothers with children and even pedestrians. I have to take the risk of going on the road with no lights or indicators on my pavement scooter.
Apart from pavement parking many other pavements are difficult due to slopes causing instability on scooter. There is no disabled access into church as far as I know.
I don't know as I am not up to date with needs of teenagers.
Anything that allows people to get together to prevent isolation/loneliness.
I don't know where there is available space.
Street lighting in Grange Lane is inadequate. The uneven road surface makes it difficult to negotiate on foot at night without a torch
More indoor sporting activities for winter months but all such facilities depend on availability of leaders and trainers as much as suitable premises
Any development must take note of traffic access and parking
The community land, for example behind the school which is a playing field, is not used as much as you would expect from a large open area with o.k. moderate facilities, but lots of kids in the area. Maybe this should be further developed. Perhaps one of the village youth groups could try for a grant to make it more user friendly
The footpaths need upgrading. if this is done there is less need for additional lighting. One of Harvingtons greatest assets is low street lighting levels so that you can see clearly sunsets, moonlights, stars etc. I have lived in "built up areas". Harvington has great views, low light levels. Don't spoil it. Let your next generation enjoy!
Village Hall, both Pubs, Both churches. I don't know the needs, but wheelchair access, toilets, and as the son of a totally organised dad of 84, somethings to keep stimulating, eg cards, such as bridge, skittles, quizzes. As you get older the brain doesn't deterioate unless you let it. Harvington does have a high percentage of "older" people, but they contribute a huge amount to the village. They should be asked what they need!
Allow parents to get groups of children to go to the playing field after school. one adult but take turns. Children don't need facilities in such an open area, just supervision to go and have fun
everywhere that is green, good views, and where land is being used, particularly agriculture, which is why Harvington was slowly expanded, because people needed somewhere to live because there were JOBS. this no longer applies
Crest hill is already designated houses. Providing all health and safety, views/depreciation of current houses, I believe that a small number >20 would be ok. The most important area for building (if deemed needed) would be Leys Road, where the visual impact is least affected. Please note that Harvington has extended in that direction over the last century, which is why most amenities have moved in that direction
I do not believe that there is a need for major growth, although a small amount is required. The infrastructure is not good, the school is full, the post office is closing, there are no local jobs, therefore bus services to towns such as Alcester and Redditch would be needed for transport to work. Although this is outside the Parish boundary requirements, REDDITCH is a newtown under its capacity, with road and rail links, and many industries! How hard is that!
Development should be in areas hidden from the main routes. So that village expansion has little impact on the visual aspect of the village.
Seating at the bus stops for the less mobile.
Community nurses to support GP in surgery and local population
Coffee mornings, lunch clubs, craft sessions
Youth choir. We have Harvington singers and songbirds. Why not choir for the youth?
The area each side of the road at the bottom of Crest Hill
Near the school on the grass in front of the school. At school drop off times the road is impassable
Crest Hill due to steep slope, destruction of agricultural land, causing flooding and loss of privacy to surrounding properties. Large scale development at Ellenden farm destroying agricultural land and causing flooding due to inadequate drainage supply.
Area between Ragley Road and the evesham to Alcester road
crest hill & area behind existing houses on crest hill, because of potential volume of traffic that will need to use Crest Hill. Area of land bounded by village street, ragley road & B4088 (Ellenden Farm) because it would have a detrimental impact on the open views.
Field behind Baptist Church in Village Street
The fields behind the Paying Field down to the By-Pass
Near the School on part of allotment land
Land on the left of Crest Hill and behind the church and the Manor House
WATERSPORTS, SOMEWHERE DRY TO MEET FRIENDS
Somewhere to meet and keep warm and safe which gives them understanding and independece without feeling too much like younger children, being treated like the young adults they are growing into.
The facilities avaliable for our family are good which include the youth club and the rainbows group.
Parking is a big problem when dropping off and pickimg up. The school asks parents not too block driveways etc and I have heard local residents shouting at parents over the parking!
Don't know many elderly in the village, but have heard that the Lunches are missed.
I think the churches do a good job with their clubs, but wonder if there is a way of getting tennis courts to encourage outside play for the older/teenagers.
Near the school/Baptist Church, this is where congestion occurs
The village footpaths where possible should be retained, therefore this should be taken into consideration
Narrow footpath might make wheelchair use difficult
Sports facilities perhaps e.g. Basketball court
Anything to improve social life and avoid isolation
Land between bypass and Shakespeare Lane - formerly an orchard
Crest hill - because it would affect the approach to the village & between bypass and Shakespeare lane because of acces problems, increased traffic and already hazardous due to many blind spots
Social areas and or indoor facilities in the Leys Road
Young people often leave a lot of mess in the park which is unsightly and unpleasant, especially for families bringing younger children to the park. Teenagers always seem to leave mess behind them, of course, but the provision of more litter bins in the park may help. The park itself, with its long views over the field and good equipment is a great place for families and children
The fields currently farmed by the Turners (from the rear of dwellings on Village street and Ragley Road across to the Evesham road (i.e. the fields currently affected by the Gladman development proposal).
In common with everyone in the village we object to a massive development of the area to the rear of Ragley Road/Hughes lane and across to the farm shop. This is not because of the impact upon our own property (our garden is very long and development in the fields won't make much difference) but because of the impact upon the quiet calm atmosphere of the village that would be made by the imposition of an extremely large number of small houses; we are also concerned about the erosion of green space and agricultural land in a rural area.
Small scale, in fill projects seem the most sensible way of allowing the village to grow organically.
The basketball net needs replacing in the park as it is broken and unusable, also the football goals need fixing. The park facilities need attention.
A bigger basketball pitch as there aren't many areas for teenagers to play sports, and the facilities we do have are either broken or unusable such as the football goals and the basketball nets,
A social area for teenagers that has a game room with a pool table so people can socialise more rather than being on the streets which is dangerous.
More on time as they are always late. As u take the bus to college and work this becomes difficult as they are not regular, I travel in the bus 5 times a week
On the land surrounding Ellenden farm shop
Somewhere for them to go most evenings not just the youth project which does a great job
No homes or building work in three fields homes by Evesham Road
CREST HILL AND ANY ENTRANCE TOAND FROM THE VILLAGE
Somewhere to hang out without the prayers
Something to get them out and about, knitting (or other interest) groups
Make more use of the river, kayaking facility, lock operating, boating, play equipment for older children eg zip wire
The fields and footpath by the farm shop
On land going out of village towards alcester
Ellenden farm fields and walkways around it
No.....look elsewhere!!!!! We need to maintain what we have and take care of those that already live here with a more concerted effort to bring people together for improvements in longevity and availability of opportunity as youngsters and as we all get older.
very uneven pavements; high kerbs for people with motability scooters
for the elderly - if you are on drugs like warfarin, you need regular blood tests (at least weekly) which involves a costly trip into town. £20 round trip in a taxi if you are not well enough to use the bus.
On land used by the farm shop as this could impact on their business, which is a great asset to the village
None obvious.If land behind the existing Village Hall were possible then this would be convenient for all to access.
Additional Street lighting @ entrance of Oak Tree Rd / Leys Rd.
Keep fit (moderate obviously) / Bingo / Afternoon Tea - Village Hall.
None although behind school / allotments must be protected (I have no personal involvement but respect those that do).
The amount of vehicles parked in Village Street /Stratford Road from the entrance/exit of Finch Lane to Village Green
Blakenhurst brook dale roads are in desperate need of replacement Tarmac and dropped kirby for wheelchair users to access their specialised motor vehicles. As accessing vehicle ramps is made harder when having to park on the grass verges.
Unsure of what facility is needed will talk to my children for their views
Unsure as I have' reached that elderly stage yet
The areas marked E,F,H and K and the map. Also L. Because it is farming land and open space.
Convenience store needs an improved entrance
The School and Youth club should be asked to design a coat of Arms for the village.
Some footpaths have become overgrown and need to be cleared. Some pavements have become worn and unsteady.
The provision of a residential care facility, including a day care centre open for wider use for the elderly residents in the village. It could be a place for elderly residents to live or visit for social contact and entertainment.
No. Better to be answered by their parents or the young people themselves.
It would be good to have wider public transport available but, sadly, it would be neither practical nor affordable.
On good agricultural land which should remain productive. If development takes place on the land next to Ellenden Farm shop it should only be low density housing with plenty of surrounding green space. There should not be any high density housing anywhere in the village.
Those already indicated in previous answers but only for small scale and low density housing projects.
Footpaths,pavements and verges need weeding at the very least. Looks dilapidated.
More funding for the Harvington Youth Project to help them provide more services for the young people.
The farmland surrounding Ellenden and the land behind Village Street/Ragley Road.
Ellenden Farm land. Nice views/walks and vital agricultural land
The pavement along Village Street in front of the old peoples bungalows and until it joins Hughes Lane is narrow and the encroaching grass verge exacerbates it further. Because the opposite side of Village Street is used for parking residents cars delivery vehicles and contractors vehicles frequently park on the grass verge effectively blocking the pavement. The grass verge badly needs cutting also. Beyond Hughes Lane towards Cedar Lodge the pavement is also very narrow made worse by an overgrown hedge. This pavement ends beyond the houses opposite the village school which obliges pedestrians to cross over even if their eventual destination is the Baptist Chapel. This length of Village Street can be very busy particularly when parents are delivering and collecting children from school.
I am not disabled but I feel that some of the village pavements and footpaths would be difficult for wheelchair or electric buggy users to use and the Playing Field and Community Orchard would pose particular challenges.
The Harvington Youth Project provides a 'drop in' cafe on a Friday evening but another Saturday 'club' for teenagers to meet and socialise where non alchoholic drinks and snacks were available might be welcome. I suggest a survey of teenagers in the village asking for suggestions and comments should be the first move.
Possibly a Scrabble Club or even a Bingo evening would be welcome.
Generally I think that the children and young people are quite well provided for but some more equipment on the playing field such as that provided at Bidford Meadow or Broadway Playing field would be welcome. Sports coaching ie. football or rugby would be appreciated.
The area of land behind Ragley Road presently farmed by Ellenden and bounded by footpaths from behind The Grange to Village Street opposite the Golden Cross Pub and from Hughes Lane in the direction of Ellenden Farm Shop. This land is the subject of the planning application by Gladman Developments but currently has no vehicular access. I feel that it would be an ideal site for a community woodland and wildlife area possibly in conjunction with the Woodland Trust or the Worcestershire Wildlife trust.
Possibly bus services to Pershore and Broadway
No development should take place on any of the designated Local Green spaces. No development on the land currently farmed by Ellenden Farm or on the few remaining orchards in the village. Open spaces adjacent to the principle entrances to the village ie. Crest Hill, Evesham and Alcester Roads.
Some development on the land behind the existing houses and bungalows on Crest Hill would be acceptable as it would not intrude on the existing appearance of the village. Also some further development behind housing along Leys Road would expand the community in this part of the village.
Unevena and narrow payments for wheel chair users or people with difficulty walking
Would be lovely to have the cricket club moved to be closer to the village and maybe offer more sports such as tennis etc
It is very dark on Station Road between the village hall and the turning for St james Close.
There is a lot here for young people, but many of them , particularly newcomers may not be aware how much is on offer.
No development at the entrances to the village
a skateboard facility probably located on the land along Alcester Road
The fields between ellendene, Evesham road and ragley road
mass development should not be taking place anywhere, this is a village, not a town or city
Maintenance, especially regular cutting of all grass verges. Seating near bus stops.
Facilities for basic tests eg blood, urine and basic X-rays.
Outdoor area but with sheltered facility.
Meeting places for coffee/cake, plus lunch facilities once or twice a week. Keep fit for pensioners. Talks for stimulating minds!
Wider use of the school out if school hours....
Bottom of Crest Hill to the right as you enter the village or on land opposite the Golden Cross.
Conservation area to retain the historical element of this part of the village
The storm drains on Station Road need attention, they can't cope with anything more than a slight drizzle.
Crest Hill because of road safety, and look of village entrance. Land by Ellenden Farm because of impact to the farm and its shop, and the change of use from viable agricultural land
I find this very hard to say, and don't think any large scale developments shold take place within the village. However the land next to the Viillage Community Orchard, woud probably have least impact on the village, and may help protect the Orchard as it is out on its own at the moment.
We could set up a youth band (either pop or brass) there could be a monthly cinema/disco/drop in centre where they could discuss issues that relate to them. A youth sports team/running club. We could also ask them what they would like?
Why not have tea dances/Bingo/the singing entertainment that has been in the past in the village hall was great.
On any of the beautiful entrances to the Village on all sides i.e. Crest Hill or on the main routes from Norton
There are quite a few hidden places where houses on a small scale could be built within the village that would not spoil the beauty of the village
Pavements in some areas are too narrow for wheelchair users and access to playing area is not readily available due to the nature of the surface
Somewhere for them to gather together other than the bus stops.
Access to swimming pool/exercise facilities
Again, access to swimming pool, cinema club, crafting, indoor soft play
The area of land around Ellenden Farm and at Crest Hill should have been. All open areas approaching the village.
Not around Ellenden Farm as this is used by the community for events run by Ellenden Farm and we regularly walk/cycle around the whole area. Would prefer not to see it at Crest Hill either as it will spoil the approach to the village.
Worth noting if you attend Bidford doctors surgery you are likely to have to go to Warwick or Coventry hospitals.
Access to the kids park is difficult if not impractical for anyone in a wheelchair
Something social and we'll run Some sort of oap club
Harvington is blessed but more is needed at the top end of town. All is centred in the lower half
Near the children's play area and the field behind. These are vital open community spaces that are well used
Crest Hill is an ideal infill site surrounded by other houses. It is largely south facing and would be environmentally sound.
There are some reasonable facilities at present and if the young people of the village feel there should be improvements/additions they should be listened to.
Feasibility of using village hall or other buildings for ad hgoc hire as business meeting rooms and small 'touch down' spaces for internet working
youth club although I am aware of Baptist church support.
No development on the 'dog walking field' behind VH
reed to prevent pavement parking which causes problems for wheelchair users or perambulators.
