The Town Guide was published and circulated about 2 years
ago and was very well received by all who received a copy. This
new guide updates the information provided in the first guide and
gives news of recent developments in the town.
Eastwood and the surrounding areas continue to develop. We now have
2 brand new home centres for the elderly, one situated on Hilltop
on Nottingham Road and another one situated opposite the Sun Inn
at the junction of Church Street and Derby Road. The site of a former
school on Walker Street has been cleared and is awaiting redevelopment
proposals for housing and community amenity areas. New shops are
being opened on the main street and a new commercial development
site is being planned for land to the west of Mansfield Road.
On the sports and recreation elements the Eastwood Town Football
Club continues to make impressive progress and has achieved growing
recognition as a fully professional and well managed club. Eastwood
Town Cricket Club whilst being wholly amateur continues their own
impressive development running a number of teams and providing invaluable
training for youngsters. The Town Council is increasing its commitment
to support all community groups that clearly bring benefit to Eastwood
residents.
The most important resource in our town however, is the community
and the people who live in Eastwood. In my role as Town Mayor, I
am meeting so many wonderful aspiring hard working people who put
so much effort into making Eastwood a town to be proud of.
I do hope this new guide will be useful to all who read it. On behalf
of Eastwood Town Council, I would like also to record our sincere
appreciation to all the advertisers featured in the guide, without
whose support this guide would not have been possible.
Josie Forrest, Town
Mayor of Eastwood 2008/9.
