Avonbridge Public Meeting Results in New Community Group Formed
Our team were absolutely delighted at the number of local people we met at last week’s Avonbridge public meeting, and to hear so many positive discussions about ways to improve the village. Led by Avonbridge Action Group – now Avonbridge Community Group – and supported by CVS Falkirk & District development officers, the purpose of the meeting was to hear the thoughts and views of those living in Avonbridge regarding a community committee who could take forward the development of local activities and events. We are so pleased to say that the new Avonbridge Community Group now has a full committee, with all key positions filled, and we would like to extend our thanks to everyone who came forward to join the committee and volunteer their time and efforts to drive the group forward.
