REDDITCH Council is gearing up for a number of special events starting in July and August as part of the community strategy.

The 20:20 Vision events will take place on Saturdays and Sundays giving councillors and officers a chance to speak to as many people as possible and ask them their hopes for the future of the borough.

All the comments gathered at the events will be used to draw up the new community strategy document which will become a reference document both for the town and all who deliver public services.

20:20 Vision events run from about 1.30-5pm on:

July 6: Ridgeway Middle School, Tenacres First School and Alexandra Hospital Fete.

July 13: Woodfield Middle School and Cool by the Pool event in Batchley.

July 14: Arrow Vale High School.

July 20: Feckenham Village Hall and Church Hill Middle School.

July 27: Easemore House, Easemore Road and Walkwood Middle School.

August 3: Trinity High School and Oakenshaw Community Centre.
