Loton and Tern LJC focuses on parish council priorities at meeting on 31 July

The next meeting of the Loton and Tern Local Joint Committee (LJC) takes place on Thursday 31 July 2014 at Westbury Village Hall at 7pm, and will focus on the priorities of the parish councils in the area; the public are encouraged to come along and have their say.

Representatives from the ten parish councils in the area, which include Bomere Heath, Westbury and Withington, will be speaking about the issues in their area that have been identified at community meetings and through Community Plans, and developing a set of priorities to be tackled in the next 12 months.  Issues include roads and transport, planning and development, youth activities, and support for community buildings.

Councillor John Everall, chair of the LJC, said:

“The LJC has existed for five years, and the meeting on 31 July gives us the chance to evaluate the work we have done and look at our future priorities for the coming years.  Our parish councillors will be giving us an update on what’s happening in their area, and we’ll look to identify shared issues between the parishes that we can work together on in the future, or to lobby partner organisations to make improvements on our behalf.”

The public is welcome to attend and have their say on what issues they feel are important, and to join in the discussions with the parish councillors.
