The group set up to spearhead the regeneration of Haddington Town Centre has announced a key stage in the project with the setting up a new Community Development Trust for the town.

HADDINGTON VISION GROUP SEEKS MEMBERS AND DIRECTORS FOR NEW COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT TRUST

The Haddington Vision Group is appealing to anyone interested in becoming a member of the new Trust to come along to a public meeting in the Corn Exchange on Monday 25 February at 7pm.  Those attending can join simply by completing a membership application and paying a £1 registration fee.  They will also be able to vote for the seven directors, currently being sought to lead the work of the Community Development Trust.
 
Anyone planning to join the Trust, and who is also interested in becoming a director, can find application forms and details of the requirements for the post on the Haddington Community Council website; the East Lothian Council website or at the John Gray Centre in Lodge Street, Haddington.

You can also download and print out the application to become a member of the HCDT here. If you are interested in becoming a Director on the HCDT Board, you can download and print out your application here. Please note that the Directors' Form needs to be completed in addition to the Members' Form.
 
All those interested should complete the application form, even if they had already identified their willingness to become a member or director at the Vision launch event held last autumn.  Completed application forms should be returned by Monday 11 February 2013, and those interested in becoming a director must be able to attend the public meeting on 25 February.
 
Chairman of the Haddington Town Centre Vision Steering Group, Alan Blackie, is asking everyone who is interested in building a new future for Haddington to get involved.
 
“The Community Development Trust is being established in response to public requests made at the Haddington Vision workshop events held last year,” explained Mr Blackie.  “This exciting project can only succeed with the support of the local community which is why we’re looking to as many people as possible to volunteer to join the Trust.   I’m confident too that we can attract the right people with the high level of commitment required to become directors, and to take forward the Vision project.”
