The strong attendance was encouraging and the idea of forming a residents' association was enthusiastically received, with many people believing that a community group of this type would revive community spirit in the village and also help to focus attention on local issues.
The main outcome of yesterday's meeting was a unanimous agreement to hold a formal public meeting later this month with the intention of forming a fully constituted residents' association.
The main points to be covered at the meeting will include the election of chair, secretary and treasurer along with agreeing a name for the organisation and discussing its main aims and objectives.
Leaflets promoting the meeting are to be distributed to all residents soon and these will set out the format of the meeting and all relevant details, including the date, time and venue.
For advance notice the meeting is scheduled to be held on:
Saturday 24 June 2017 at 2pm in
Hesleden WMC
Please come along and have your say on the future direction of the village.
