Would you like to have your say on how the recession has affected
the level of crime in your part of the city?
If your
answer is ‘yes’ to any of these questions then Peterborough City
Council would like to encourage you to get involved in a series of
innovative events which it is calling “The Big Debate”.
The events
will be held over a series of evenings during February at various
locations across Peterborough.
-
The
Environment Capital Scrutiny Committee will be meeting on
Tuesday 2 February at 5.30pm at Buckles Solicitors to look at
future transport options for the city.
-
The
Creating Opportunities and Tackling Inequalities Scrutiny
Committee will be meeting on Thursday 4 February at 5.30pm at
Peterborough College of Adult Education to look at how
vulnerable adults and children are being supported.
-
The
Strong and Supportive Communities Scrutiny Committee will be
meeting on Tuesday 16 February at 5pm at the Key Theatre to look
at the amount and type of crime in Peterborough.
-
The
Sustainable Growth Scrutiny Committee will be meeting on
Wednesday 17 February at 5.30pm at the Town Hall to look at how
the city can continue to grow and overcome the effects of the
economic downturn.
Councillor
Marion Todd, chair of the strong and supportive communities scrutiny
committee, said: "Normally scrutiny meetings are in the Town Hall
but this series of events is more about us coming out to the public
to make it easier for everyone to get involved in a debate about our
city and its future.
“We are
looking for a real cross-section of people to get involved, those
who work or are interested in the environmental sector, parents,
representatives for voluntary and community organisations, people of
all ages and from all walks of life who live in our diverse city. If
you are interested in getting involved please get in touch to find
out more."
To book a
place or to find out more call the scrutiny team on (01733) 747474
If you
cannot attend but would still like to be involved you can send your
written submissions to Scrutiny Team, Democratic Services, Town
Hall, Bridge Street, Peterborough, PE1 1HG or email
