The first round of new-look Community Action Team (CAT) meetings are taking place across the Borough during June and July. The Summer round of meetings is giving the residents of Fareham the chance to put their questions and ideas to the Executive Leader of Fareham Borough Council, Councillor Seán Woodward.

There are now six CAT areas with the former 'Fareham Town' area being divided into 'Fareham North East' (comprising Fareham East, Fareham North and Fareham North-West wards) and 'Fareham South West' (comprising Fareham West and Fareham South wards). More information is available at www.fareham.gov.uk/cats.

Meetings will take place three times a year at various venues around the borough. The Summer CAT meetings all start at 7pm until 8.30 pm; dates and venues as follows:

• Fareham South West - Wednesday 10 June - Fareham Methodist Church, Kings Road
• Crofton - Tuesday 16 June - Holy Rood Church, Gosport Road
• Fareham North East    - Thursday 18 June - Oak Meadow Children's Centre, Tewkesbury Avenue

Executive Member for Service Performance and Improvement, Conservative Councillor Trevor Cartwright, said: "This is an opportunity for residents to get together to discuss any issues and concerns and tell us what they want to see improved in their local area. They can also find out how to bid for funding for community projects.''
