“Shaping Cheltenham’s Future”
A one day conference on Friday 9 June 2017, Pittville Pump Room, Cheltenham GL52 3JE
What sort of town do we want Cheltenham to be – today … in 2027 … in 2050? The future is in the hands of the people who choose to contribute their views and ideas. To make it easy for you to get involved, Cheltenham Civic Society is holding a one-day conference following the publication of Cheltenham Borough Council’s Place Strategy.
This is an opportunity for local voluntary groups, business leaders and interested members of the public to examine the implications of the Strategy and contribute to the debate. You are invited to come along and join the discussion. You can find out more about the Strategy at https://democracy.cheltenham.gov.uk/mgAi.aspx?ID=11564
