Residents invited to public community meetings
Residents can find out what is happening in their area at public community meetings being held across the borough next month.
Dudley Council will host the ‘your home, your forum’ meetings during February. The forums run from 6.30pm to 8.30pm.
The forums are informal, giving people the opportunity to have their say and discuss what is good about their local area and what can be made better.
Local councillors and a police representative will also be there for residents to talk to.
The Brierley Hill meeting – for people living in Brierley Hill, Brockmoor, Pensnett, Wall Heath, Kingswinford and Wordsley - will be held on February 3 at Arise Church, Stallings Lane, Kingswinford.
In Halesowen, also on February 3, people living in Belle Vale, Hayley Green, Halesowen, Cradley and Wollescote are invited to a meeting at Fatherless Barn Evangelical Church in Hedgefield Grove.
On February 6, people in Amblecote, Lye, Stourbridge North, Norton, Pedmore, Stourbridge East, Wollaston and Stourbridge Town can go to The Stourbridge Institute Social Club in Bell Street.
The Dudley Central meeting will be held on February 19 at Living Hope Church on Middlepark Road, Russells Hall.
People living in Castle and Priory, St James’s, St Thomas’s, Netherton and Holly Hall, Quarry Bank and Dudley Wood are welcome to attend.
The Dudley North meeting – for anyone living in Coseley, Sedgley, Gornal, Upper Gornal and Woodsetton - will be held on February 19 at Sedgley Community Centre on Ladies Walk.
Councillor James Clinton, cabinet member responsible for the community meetings, said:
“As councillors and as a council, it’s really important we get to know our residents and learn more about the issues and ideas at the heart of our communities.
“We would love to see as many people at the meetings as possible.”
