Last year the Community Council put on a really successful Cohesion Event at the Broadgreen Centre, and once again, thanks to a grant from the Wiltshire and Swindon Community Foundation, on Saturday the 26th of April between 2 and 6 pm we are having another one and all residents of the Broadgreen Area are invited to come along, join in and mix with each other.
This year in the main hall, as well as entertainment and an under 10’s fancy dress competition, there will be displays promoting the Community Plan that residents are working towards, with different departments from the Council available to talk to residents about associated problems and ideas. With such a big interest being shown about the possibility of a new canal in the centre of Swindon, the Canal Trust will also have a stand and they will be able to explain the plans first hand and answer any questions and concerns. Outside, there will be another 5-aside football tournament as well as children’s sports and tug of war. The afternoon will finish with a free multi-cultural food event. Look out for leaflets with full details of the event.
The next Community Plan meeting will be about transport and movement, this will take place on the morning of the Cohesion Event, 26th April, in the Lounge at the Broadgreen Centre between 10 am and midday. Open to all Broadgreen residents, we encourage everybody who has an interest in the future direction of this area to come along have their say, after all would people prefer the Broadgreen’s future to be lead by ourselves, the residents, or people from outside the area with their own agenda’s?
Please note, from April onwards, our monthly residents meetings will be held on the first Wednesday of every month, instead of the second Wednesday. They will still be held in the lounge at the Broadgreen Centre, 7.30 pm start, all residents in the Broadgreen area are invited and encouraged to attend.
