If you would also like to get involved in any of the up and coming ward partnership meetings get in touch with Place Based Working and they will send you an invite. The meetings are a great place to meet likeminded partners in order to share all the great things happening in the ward as well as helping others and ward 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.
Please send any time sensitive information early enough to be included on the next noticeboard (at least one weeks’ notice). Polite request – we can’t attach any of your documents if they are 1 MB or over, please, therefore, share them in an alternative format so they can be emailed to partners. Please also let us know if you do not want to remain on our circulation list. Thank you.
