Have your say on priorities for Bury East

Date published: 01 February 2012

Residents are invited to give their views on what the top priorities for Bury East should be.

A series of workshops will be held at the next meeting of Bury East Township Forum, which is on Thursday 9 February at Freedom Church.

The aim is to draw up four or five key realistic and achievable priorities to be included in the Bury East Township Area Plan.

The groups will discuss themes including Health, Community Safety, Worklessness & Training and Housing. Each group will be asked to give their opinions and suggest new projects and ideas to help to achieve the goals for each key priority.

Tan Ahmed, the new chair of Bury East Township Forum, said: “It is with real excitement and optimism that I take over as chair. It is an important time for the forum as we proceed with the development of the Township Area Plans and identify the key themes that will shape the work of the forum over the next 12 months. We invite as many Bury East residents as possible to join our round table discussions and have their say at what is going to be a lively and interactive meeting.”

The meeting starts at 7pm, and the usual open forum and public question time will be on the agenda in the second half of the meeting.
