The Communities First programme is different because it has a “bottoms up” approach which means the people who live in the communities decide what they want to see happening THAT MEANS YOU! So please help by taking the time to fill in any questionnaires that you receive and supporting local events.If you would like more information about the partnership, the Communities First programme or the Trust Fund please get in touch.>The Partnership meets monthly at the Gwelfor Community Centre and their main objectives are: – To continue to publicise the partnership and encourage participation from all the areas of the ward. To include people of all ages, the young through to the elderly, and help them to identify their needs and create a safe environment in which to live and play. To continue to work with the community to develop local projects. To consult with local people to develop a 10-year plan for the community – the Communities First Action Plan. Morlo audits are now being handed out to residents of Morawelon and London Road. As part of Communities First, we have to produce audits for the community and collect over 400 completed audits. This is so we can see the opinion of the residents about the area they live in and of changes they would like to see in their area. So if you live in the Morawelon and London Road area and would like to have a say in your community or like to see changes please get in contact for your copy of our community audits call 763559. For every completed audit you receive a raffle ticket with a chance of winning many cash prizes.
