If you would like to get involved in the up and coming ward partnership meetings please contact Place Based Working and they will send you an invite. The meetings are a great place to meet likeminded folk in order to share all the great things happening in the ward as well as helping partners and Councillors to co-ordinate what’s happening locally. They also provide an opportunity for partners to problem solve on shared priorities and identify funding/resources to put in place community activities to meet local needs.
