"Community Rights" in New Cross

Jennifer writes:

New Cross Community Council invites you to come along to our meeting on Wednesday the 14th of December at 7:30pm in Deptford Town Hall.

We'll have three speakers - Angela Harrowing, Jess Steele and Steve Shaw - talking about new legal rights for community groups and neighbourhoods, and the support available to community groups. This will be followed by an open discussion that you can participate in.

Come and discover and discuss what this means for New Cross!
