Saltburn is creating a Partnership Board

 Saltburn Partnership Board is made up of approximately 10 -15 people who represent different fields of interest in and around Saltburn – these individuals represent clusters of interest,and as such,act as a conduit between Saltburn Community Groups,the Saltburn Partnership Board and the Local Authority.  The development of Saltburn Partnership Board has been encouraged by Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council with the aim of bringing a partnership of Saltburn’s public and private sectors together to create a successful town centre to benefit all.  The Partnership Board will act to provide a strategic focus and this focus will fit into local strategic themes:

• Regeneration
• Health and Well Being
• Stronger Communities
• Children and Young People
• Safer Communities

What does this mean for me?

This means that you have representation when decisions are being made about our town at a strategic level. For example,if you are a member of the 500 Club,there is a 500 Cub member on the Partnership Board,so if you have a brilliant idea for Saltburn or a concern,you can take it to this representative who in turn,will bring it on your behalf to the Partnership Board Meetings. The groups represented on the Partnership Board cover the themes mentioned above –the Police are there,as are the Saltburn Business Association,Tees Valley Leisure and groups like the Arts Association.

If you can’t make it to the event in Saltburn today (Thurs 3rd March) you should still me able to enjoy it online. I say “should” because this is experimental. At http://tvcm.co.uk/animex2011 there is a tweetstream with the hashtag #tvcmanim11 – a chat stream,a live stream and a “blogcast” releasing each film at the same time as the audience sees it.

On Thursday 18th November children at Whitcliffe Primary School will re-enact a famous event from their Schools history. Actually the story relates to Skinningrove school but both schools have been amalgamated and children of Skinningrove and Carlin How all attend Whitecliffe. Whitecliffe has the logbooks of both schools going back over 140 years and one entry states;“school evacuated on the occasion of a Zeppelin sighted overhead. The children will re-enact this momentous event and Inspector Charlie Bell of Cleveland Police will play the part of the calm voice of authority leading the children to shelter in the mines (this actually took place too – many Skinningrovers took shelter in the mines during both world wars. This will form the audio track of an animated film  “Tommy and Barry Go Back” to be premiered at Saltburn Community Theatre,Animex Fringe on February 10th 2011.

Whilst enjoying a coffee in Destinations you could hardly imagine what is going on upstairs. The Redcar and Cleveland Mind team have been working on their script and cast of characters for a new animated film “The Times They Are a Changing”. Today was the first day of production and a shooting schedule has been developed for coming weeks. There’s a preview below and a picture of the team. Ignore the sellotape this is merely a screen test. You will be able to see the finished film as part of the Animex Fringe event at Saltburn Community Theatre on February 10th 2011.
