Latest on new look for east Loughborough
Posted on 31/01/09
Chief Executives
Residents have the chance to pick up the latest on exciting plans to spruce up the eastern gateway into Loughborough.
People will be able to hear more about the regeneration project as well as updates on plans for areas around Windmill Road and the Great Central Railway.
At Loughborough East Area Forum next week, residents can also find out what is being done to tackle crime and disorder and make communities safer and learn about NHS Leicestershire County and Rutlands plans for this year.
There is the opportunity to find out more about Loughborough Special Rate, raise any issues and ask questions.
Community forums are a great opportunity for people to find out what is happening on their doorstep, give views, get answers to queries and influence local decision-making.
Since they started in January last year, over 2,500 people have taken part and picked up the latest on services for older people, anti-social behaviour, eco-town proposals, grants, development plans, lorry routes, tackling crime, transport, housing, jobs, loan sharks, roads, community hospitals plus much more.
Andy Nevill, Chair of the Forum, said: "Area Forum meetings are driven by local residents and exist so people can get answers to questions about how and why the County and Borough Councils and other public agencies affect their lives. They offer unprecedented access to decision-makers and the real chance to change things.
"If you want to find out why your street has a blocked drain, whats going to happen in local healthcare or you have a great idea to improve your area that you want to put forward, then the local Area Forum is the place to do it."
Loughborough East Area Forum is taking place at 6.30pm on Wednesday, 4th February at Moira Youth and Community Centre, Moira Street, Loughborough.
The meeting is open to all residents living in Lemyngton and Hastings wards, Tuckers Road, Toothill Road, Derby Road East, Meadow Lane, Shelthorpe, Woodthorpe and around the train station and Bell Foundry.
For more information about the meeting, please contact Richard Downing on 0116 305 5823 or go to www.leicestershireforums.org
Notes:
Community Forums involve Leicestershire County Council, District and Borough Councils, NHS Leicestershire County and Rutland, Leicestershire Police and Leicestershire Together partners.
There are 27 forums across Leicestershire which bring together elected representatives across all tiers of local government - County, District and Borough and Parish, together with a range of other community representatives.
Although they do not have formal decision-making powers, forums are important bodies of influence - there is a duty to respond to actions recommended.
