There will be plenty of opportunities for local people to talk with representatives from relevant agencies to make suggestions for improving life in the Heather Road area.
In addition, there will be some changes happening in the area. For example, Community Payback will be carrying out some clearing and tidying works,
Bluestar Buses will be replacing the bus stop signs and NFDC is planning to renew the street names.
