📣 PLATT BRIDGE – YOUR VOICE MATTERS 📣

Sometimes people make plans for communities without really hearing from the people who actually live there.
This Public Assembly is about changing that.

If you live in Platt Bridge or Abram Ward — whether you’ve been here all your life or just a few years — you know the area, the strengths, the struggles, and the things that could make a real difference.

🗣 What do we need more of?
💡 What ideas do you have?
❤️ What do you love about Platt Bridge?
⚠️ What needs to change?

This is a chance for local people to come together, share honest conversations, and help shape the future of our town centre in a way that reflects the people who actually use it.

No speeches. No pressure. Just real community voices.

📍 The Pantry, St Nathaniel’s Church, Church Road, Platt Bridge, WN2 3TD
📅 Thursday 28th May 2026
⏰ 10am – 12 noon
☕ FREE refreshments & snacks

Hosted by community organisers in the ward because Platt Bridge Town Centre belongs to all of us.

Please come along, bring a neighbour or friend, and help make sure local voices are heard. 💙
