Thanks to all those who attended the Public Meeting on Tuesday. We had a great turnout and the local councillors and Police Sergeant Fellows were on hand to answer questions and update residents. The guest speaker – Hannah Worth, from The Chamberlain Forum updated us on the Localism Bill of last year, which could potentially have an impact on developments in Acocks Green in the future. Thanks to Jon Morris, from Fox Hollies Neighbourhood Forum who explained about Community First – a funding opportunity for organisations in the area, (more info to follow here shortly) and the proposed Conservation Areas of AG.
Thanks to local residents who turned up and aired their concerns about issues in the area. Lets hope that the Forum gave them the opportunity to highlight these to those who can help to resolve them and, ultimately improve community life for those who live and work in Acocks Green.
Next Public Meeting (and AGM) is Tuesday 19th June, hope to see you there.
