At the five June CAT meetings young people from each neighbourhood will be giving a presentation of their views about living in the area and ideas they have for the future.

Executive Member for Service Performance and Improvement, Councillor Trevor Cartwright, said: “Next week sees the start of the fourth round of CATs meetings being held at five locations across the borough. Since the initiative began last September, there has been a high level of attendance at the previous three meetings and we are looking forward to welcoming the public to our next round of meetings in June“.
