Councillor meeting recap

On Monday 16 May, members of WAAG met with our local Councillor Alec Sandner to discuss Wolstencroft Park and it's inclusion in this year's budget. Here's a summary of what went down.....

WAAG presented a slideshow of the progress (very little) so far of the Park, and the results (so big) of our Christmas party and then identified the following:

•  That strong community support exists for the development of the Park, based on a strong history of previous community consultation and input which culminated in a successful gathering of more than 100 people last December for an inaugural Christmas Party
• That WAAG was not being fully represented and supported by our Ward Councillor in advancing our objectives, and information relating to the EPA testing remains, at best, vague and incomplete.
• That WAAG will not accept a "No, it's a too hard decision to progress" response from Council

Meeting with Councillor Alec Sandner MONDAY NIGHT

Next Monday May 16, our local ward councillor Alec will be coming to talk to us about the progress (or otherwise) of Wolstencroft Park. The upcoming budget is soon to be announced. Please join us to see what's happening with our local park, and to set our strategy from this point.

WAAG will be giving a quick slide show about what we've done so far and what what we imagine this space can be for our community.

Then Alec will talk to us about the park and the budget.

Bring a friend, the more the merrier to show the numbers of support for the park.

Venue: 14 Hallam St, Flora Hill (Ian and Claire's place)
