The agenda has been published for the Palmers Green local community hub on 18th November. It will provide an opportunity for local people to discuss a range of topics.
The hub, at the mosque in Oakthorpe Road, is organised by Enfield Climate Action Forum, the Co-op Membership Engagement Team and the social justice network Enfield LocalMotion. It will run from early afternoon until early evening, and people are welcome to attend individual sessions or stay all afternoon.
To quote Francis Sealey: "We want this Hub to be a place where those who attend have a voice and feel free to tell us how we can improve our locality and the lives of people there. We want to see how we can work together around common goals to achieve a better future for us all. "
