As previously reported in Hayes Town News an online community consultation is planned for Wednesday 16 June. Called a 'World Cafe' it has the slogan 'Hayes Together, Stays Together' and it is all about how to make Hayes a better and safer place in which to live and work. It could not be more relevant to what has happened but so far the number of people who have signed up for the event is less than 50.
There will be two sessions to choose between - 1pm to 3pm or 7pm to 9pm. The event has been initiated by the Metropolitan Police and the programme devised by MutualGain - an organisation committed to working and engaging with local communities. It is assisted by a small group of people involved in Hayes, including myself.
The World Café is planned to be the first event in a programme of Hayes Together, Stays Together events which will take place over the next year. The outcome of this online conversation will set priorities for the next phase which will be looking to invest money into small community-based ideas.
This is a great opportunity to have your say about local safety. Please sign up now by clicking on this link. If you are not familiar with Eventbrite bookings send me an email and I will get you a place.
