Horden, Peterlee and Surrounding Areas Local Network are hosting three community engagement drop-in ward events in November as follows:
Horden & Dene House – The Salvation Army, Horden, SR8 4JY
Thursday 19 November, 2pm – 6pm
Blackhalls & Hesledens – St Andrew’s Church Hall, Blackhall Colliery, TS27 4LE
Wednesday 25th November, 2pm – 6pm
Wheatley Hill & Thornley – Thornley Village Centre, DH6 3EL
Monday 30 November, 2pm – 6pm
The events are being held on a drop-in basis and there is no requirement for anyone wishing to attend to pre-book a place in advance. The events will be based around Electoral Wards and, where possible, are being held within that Ward area. If you are unable to attend the event relevant to your Ward area, you are more than welcome to attend another session to speak to the Local Network Team.
The Local Network community engagement events will:
• Provide an opportunity for communities, residents, councillors, the voluntary and community sector and partners to engage with the LN Team to identify local issues
• Provide each LN with community feedback to assist with the development of their Local Network Action Plan (LNAP) detailing local issues and how these will be tackled through co-ordinated activity and collaborative working with partners
• Help to deliver positive outcomes for residents
At the events, attendees will be asked the following questions about their own communities/areas:
• What positive things are happening locally and what do you like about your area?
• What changes or improvements would you like to see in your area?
