Thank you to everyone who attended the consultation meetings and submitted a response. Over the 90 days leading up the 7th March the KHSR website had over 1,850 unique visitors. In the same period our Facebook posts were viewed over 28k times. Members of the volunteer team attended various parish council meetings and were hugely encouraged by the supportive comments we received. We certainly raised awareness of the proposals and helped residents to submit responses to the consultation.

KHSR on the BBC! 28/6/2024
We are certainly getting the word out about the Arkwright proposal for A New Community at Hatton. This week, Joshua Nevett from the BBC came to meet us. Fortunately, the weather was good! He spent several hours with us filming indoors as we discussed the Proposal and then outside around the area, and then interviewed Andrea, on camera, discussing farming regeneration matters. Paul set the scene and explained the context, and shared information about the KHSR Volunteer Group. It is anticipated that this will be shown on BBC Midlands Today early next week. Keep an eye out!
