People can learn about activities taking place in their community and have their say about local issues at a series of regular drop in sessions held across Wolverhampton.
The Love Your Community sessions give residents the chance to meet with representatives from Wolverhampton Police, the City of Wolverhampton Council, Wolverhampton’s Anti Social Behaviour team and more, and to share information about issues and activities in their neighbourhoods.
Councillor Obaida Ahmed, the City of Wolverhampton Council’s Cabinet Member for Digital and Community, said: “These sessions are an important forum for residents to meet with organisations and discuss the priorities for their neighbourhoods – and how we can all work together to deliver on these.
“Please come along to find out what’s happening in your area, tell us what’s important for your neighbourhood, help improve your local spaces, connect with your neighbours and businesses, and speak with police, councillors and community services.”
Chief Superintendent Richard Fisher of Wolverhampton Police added: “The Love Your Community events are an integral part of the work of the neighbourhood police teams, community safety partners and local people to address concerns and issues in the community.
“These sessions provide an opportunity to outline clear shared ownership for local priorities and help to increase collective care for what happens in our communities.”
