This week the fifth in a series of public meetings will take place for Wickford residents to discuss ways to improve their area. Residents of the Nevenden area of Wickford are being asked for ideas for community projects that focus on improving community spirit, local knowledge and communication, creating more opportunities for young people, or supporting older people.

The aim is to identify a number of initiatives that will inform the ‘neighbourhood agreement’ between local people and organisations about how they can work together to improve the area. [Source: Echo News, 9 March 2015]
