YOUR INVITED TO TOMORROW NIGHTS MEETING OF EAST MARSH INVOLVE; AND IF YOUR FRIGHTENED OF MISSING BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT – I GUARANTEE YOU’LL BE HOME ON

Tomorrow night is the next meeting of East Marsh Involve, and don’t worry if you want to be home for Britain’s Got Talent – I am pleased to say the meeting will be finished before 8pm.

The meeting will be held as usual at the Grimsby Neighbourhood Centre, which is on the corner of Wellington Street and Weelsby Street, and will start at 6pm.

Don’t forget it’s your chance to spend £20,000 of North East Lincolnshire Council’s money. Yes, you can spend it on what you want providing it improves East Marsh Area – in other words you cannot spend it on “booze” or “home improvement”.

Each year East Marsh Ward Councillors devolve their £20,000 of Ward Councillor’s Funding to you the local residents, they are the only local councillors within the whole of North East Lincolnshire to adopt this practice. The ward councillors believe the practice helps to: “inspire communities”; “empower communities”, and “assist community cohesion”.

The meeting as usual is open to all members of the East Marsh Community and the aim of this community meeting is to discuss community issues; with the purpose of overcoming ongoing problems, improve service and report regularly on all issues raised at previous meetings.

This month there is no guest speaker; however it is usual to have a speaker present. Prior to this meeting there will be an event held at Grimsby Neighbourhood Centre to promote European Neighbours Day, and it is hoped that members of the community will attend this event prior to the East Marsh Involve meeting.

• Councillor’s Ward Funding

Please be aware that all local residents are eligible to attend this meeting, and have their say about local services - it’s your chance to be listened too.
