Dore Neighbourhood Plan - Special General Meeting
As has previously been reported in Dore to Door, the Dore Village Society is applying to be designated as a Neighbourhood Forum, so as to be able to prepare a Neighbourhood Plan which would then become part of the statutory planning system for planning decisions in the village and its environs.
As part of this process we have been advised by the Sheffield City Council that for this to proceed there needs to be a small change to the constitution of the DVS relating to the definition of Membership. Currently the wording includes the phrase: "Membership shall be open to all who are interested in actively furthering the purposes of the Society". We have been advised that we need to remove the word "actively" from this phrase because, in the view of the Council, if it remains and was enforced by the Society, then the Society could become unrepresentative. The executive committee has discussed this and feel that the removal of this word does not disadvantage the Society in any way and therefore is recommending that this word be removed. Similarly, the word "actively" would also be removed from the Membership section of the Constitution which refers to corporate membership.
For this change to be effective, approval needs to be given at a Special General Meeting of the Society. Such a meeting has been arranged for 7.00pm on 27th January 2014 in the Methodist Church Hall; and this is the formal notice required of this meeting and the proposed amendment to the Constitution. Members are encouraged to attend this meeting.
