Join us for our first in-person event!
14.00 – 16.00, 23rd April 2022, Stapleford Recreation Ground and Jubilee Pavilion, CB22 5BQ
From 2pm to 4pm on the 23rd April 2022, Stapleford Parish Council are celebrating the opening of the updated playground and multiuse games area (MUGA) at Stapleford Rec and Jubilee Pavilion. Representatives of our Neighbourhood Planning working group will also be present to talk to you about getting engaged in the Neighbourhood Plan Early Stage Consultation which will run through Spring/Summer 2022. The objective of this early stage consultation is to shape the entire Neighbourhood planning project – so it is very important that we hear from as much of the community as possible. Be sure to have your say!
