Severn Loop LJC meeting on Wednesday 2 May
The Severn Loop Local Joint Committee (LJC) holds its next meeting on Wednesday 2 May 2012 at 7pm at The Guildhall in Shrewsbury.
The Severn Loop LJC covers the areas of The Quarry and inside the Severn Loop, Coton Hill, Castle Foregate and St Michael’s Street areas, Porthill, Kingsland and Belle Vue. Shropshire Councillors and Shrewsbury Town Councillors will be in attendance, and encourage people to attend to listen to current topics and raise issues of concern.
Chair of the meeting Councillor Anne Chebsey said:-
“The LJC is a way for local people to raise issues and influence activities in their area. As a result of the meetings many things have been resolved on behalf of local people, and many local groups have benefited from grants to support their activities.“
Updates will be provided on the issues raised at the last meeting, and the local policing officer will be in attendance.
Funding applications will be considered from:
- Coton Hill Youth Club, seeking £870 for equipment
- Belle Vue Community Arts Festival, seeking part funding of £1,500 to support the running of the festival
