Issue - meetings

Hetha Copland, Neighbourhood Development Manager will provide details on the different community activities that are available in Western Ward,

Hetha Copland explained that due to budgetary cuts, she and the Community Engagement Officer, Mitun Dabhelia would no longer be attending community meetings in the Western ward. A different officer would be dealing with the community meeting budget. Hetha added that regretfully it would not be possible to carry out the same sort of community engagement that had taken place over the last few years.

There were a variety of activities taking place in the ward, such as in community centres and libraries. People could contact the centres or libraries to find out more, but in addition there would be a newsletter for all residents in the ward. Anyone who wished to be involved in the newsletter or add an item to the newsletter was asked to talk to Hetha.
