The next meeting of the Bishop Auckland and Shildon Area Action Partnership (AAP) forum will take place later this month.
The main aim of the meeting is to highlight what the partnership, one of 14 set up by Durham County Council in 2009, has achieved over the past 12 months and to recognise the people who were nominated for the Durham County Council Chairman’s Medal earlier this year.
AAP Coordinator, Andrew Walker, said, “There are many fantastic people giving their time to many worthy causes in the area and we want to celebrate the achievements of some community champions.
“The AAP also has a great deal to be proud of and we want to make sure that board and forum members understand how we are tackling their priorities.”
The meeting will also focus on a project called Big Local, which will see £1m invested in six areas around Bishop Auckland – Cockton Hill, Henknowle, St Helen Auckland, Tindale, West Auckland and Woodhouse Close.
Andrew added, “This is a great opportunity to make a real difference to the Big Local areas and I would encourage residents to come to the meeting and get involved.”
The meeting will take place at 6pm on Thursday, 25th July at Bishop Auckland College.
