(We have received the below message from the council)
I’m contacting you to let you know that a special meeting has been arranged for residents to hear about applications made to the Commonwealth Games Celebrating Communities Fund.
The meeting will be held online (via Microsoft Teams) on 1 March at 6.30pm. The link to join the meeting is here.
It’s important that as many residents as possible join the meeting to hear the presentations and take part in the Q&A session and vote so if you could share the details with your neighbours and group it would be really helpful.
