Chance to pick up community safety latest

Loughborough residents are invited to give their views and keep up to speed with local issues at a meeting next week.

At Loughborough South West Area Forum, there will be an update on steps being taken to improve community safety and tackle anti-social behaviour.  

Residents will also be able to hear about NHS Leicestershire County and Rutlands plans for this year and find out more about Loughborough Special Rate.

As always, there will also be the opportunity to ask any questions and meet representatives from local agencies.

Area 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.

Michael Pearson, Chair of the Forum, said: "This is your chance to question local politicians and those who provide your local services. You can speak directly to some of the people who can get something done about a problem which concerns you and where you live."

Loughborough South West Area Forum is taking place at 6.30pm on Tuesday, 24th February at Mountfields Lodge Primary School, Epinal Way, Loughborough.

The meeting is open to all residents living in Southfields, Outwoods and Nanpantan wards.
