Community Engagement
There have been several enquiries about the plans for community engagement, including meetings and drop-ins. This is a priority, but we remain respectful and mindful that many people remain observant of the High Holy Days for another week. We are working closely with Manchester City Council, Salford Council, and other partners as Team Bury to ensure we do that in the right way after 16 October. The intention is to be responsive to what is wanted and needed – don’t hesitate to get in touch if you wish to help in establishing what takes place so that what we do is the most helpful it can be. You can email prestwichcommunityhub@bury.gov.uk or call 0161 253 5000.
