All links are here printed in red . Who we are Nether Edge is blessed with many large and beautiful trees, two theatres, a public park, a wood and a large general cemetery . Besides a number of Christian churches and the new Salvation Army citadel, the area also has a Buddhist Centre and a new Synagogue . The Neighbourhood Group was founded in 1973 with the sole purpose of preserving and fostering these amenities. We publish a newsletter nine times a year.
Membership is by voluntary subscription .
The Group has a General Committee and a number of subcommittees and affiliated groups . Perhaps the most important is the Planning Group , which regularly examines every planning application affecting our area which is submitted to the Council. It then makes recommendations regarding acceptance, modification or rejection, with a view to maintaining a balance between residential and commercial use - and of course limiting any nuisance that might result from planning errors. The most recent problem has arisen from the proposed conversion of a large part of Nether Edge Hospital into a residential area. The Group has been much involved in discussions about this.
