WOODLEY residents can have their say about town facilities and events at a meeting later this month.

The Town Elector’s Meeting will give people a chance to have their say and ask any questions on the areas of Woodley the town council looks after. 

Town mayor, Cllr Janet Sartore said: “We want residents to have the opportunity to have their say on the areas that Woodley Town Council looks after and put forward suggestions on events or other community benefits. 

“We are therefore encouraging residents to attend the virtual meeting via Zoom to ask a question, or send questions in advance of the meeting and watch it live on our YouTube channel. It’s important that we all work together to continue to improve the great town that Woodley is.” 

These include Centre Stage, the Oakwood Centre, the Garden of Remembrance, allotments at Reading Road, community activities and events, halls for hire, youth support work, Woodford Park Leisure Centre and The Gym on the Park, Woodley Town Centre Management Initiative, parks and bus shelters, the public toilet, street lighting, noticeboards, and public seating.

The town council said suggestions could include more youth activities and events, an annual Picnic in the Park or a Music Festival at Centre Stage.
