Wolverhampton residents invited to free community sessions

Wolverhampton residents will be able to raise neighbourhood issues directly with police, council representatives and community services at a new run of free Love Your Community sessions this June.

The next meetings begin at Bilston Town Hall on Tuesday 9 June, with further sessions confirmed for East Park, Spring Vale, Wednesfield South and Ettingshall North between 10 and 23 June. Entry is free, all are welcome, and the sessions are designed for residents who want to discuss local priorities, find out about activities in their area or speak to organisations working in their neighbourhoods.

The sessions are organised by the City of Wolverhampton Council and bring together representatives from Wolverhampton Police, the council, Wolverhampton’s Anti-Social Behaviour team and other local services.

June sessions confirmed across Wolverhampton wards

The first confirmed date is a special Love Your Community event at Bilston Town Hall on Tuesday 9 June, running from 6.30pm to 8pm. Leader of the Council Councillor Stephen Simkins will be on the panel for that session.

Further meetings will follow in different parts of Wolverhampton, giving residents a chance to attend a session closer to where they live. The confirmed dates are:

Dates for further Love Your Community meetings covering other Wolverhampton wards are expected to be announced in due course.

A chance to raise local priorities face to face

The Love Your Community sessions are regular ward-based drop-ins where residents can talk about issues affecting their streets, public spaces and local area. The format is intended to put residents in the same room as the services that deal with community safety, council matters and neighbourhood concerns.

According to the council, the sessions also give people the chance to learn about activities taking place locally and to share information about what is happening in their neighbourhoods. That means the meetings are not limited to complaints or enforcement issues: residents can also use them to connect with neighbours, businesses, councillors and community services.

Councillor Obaida Ahmed, Cabinet Member for Health, Wellbeing and Community, said the sessions are a forum for residents to meet organisations and discuss neighbourhood priorities, including how those priorities can be delivered together.

She encouraged people to come along to find out what is happening in their area, explain what matters locally, help improve local spaces and speak with police, councillors and community services.
