The next open residents' meeting of the St. James Residents' Association will take place on Thursday 14th February 2013 at 7.00pm at the Doddridge Centre on St. James Road.

This is the first meeting of the year and residents' are invited to come along and find out what is happening in the area or raise any issues that they are having problems getting resolved.

Residents' can meet their local councillors and hear updates from them. They can raise any crime issues to be forwarded on to the local Safer community Teams.

Whether it be blocked drains, potholes, parking, housing or any other problem that they think people should know about, then come along to the meeting and raise your concern.

The association are also seeking additional committee members to help run the association and raise the profile of the area. So if you have a little time to spare and want to give something back to your community then come along to the meeting or telephone 0784 1678018 for more details.

Free tea and coffee is available and it doesn't matter what race, colour, gender or age you are, all are welcome to attend SJRA meetings.
