Next South Cluster Meeting
Our next South Cluster meeting will be held on 28th November at the Ellendune Centre in Wroughton. The meeting will start at 6pm (tea and coffee will be available at the start), with speakers starting at 7pm. We propose that the speakers on the evening will be:
- Inspector Roger Bull, Wiltshire Police - Inspector Bull is the new Swindon East Sector Head and this will be the first time he has attended one of our South Cluster meetings in this capacity. He will speak on crime and policing issues affecting us all in the cluster and will be available after the meeting to answer questions that you may have.
- Gwillam Lloyd - Swindon Borough Council's Head of Highway Network Management - as his title suggests, Gwillam will give a short presentation on developments in the Cluster on that topic. Again he will be available afterwards to offer any help and guidance should you have a highway issue in our are that you would like to be addressed.
In addition there will be Council Officers present from Streetsmart, Planning and the Youth Team who will be on hand before the presentations to meet with you again, help with any queries you may have about these services.
If you wish to attend it would be helpful if you could confirm by sending an e-mail to jgoodall@swindon.gov.uk for refreshments purposes.
Please feel free to invite anyone who may be interested, everyone is welcome.
