Coventry Telegraph is holding a poll about future funding for the Godiva Festival. Some might find the results so far a little surprising…
With the council having to make deep cuts, we might have to fork out a little something to keep the city’s best weekend going
A date has been set for the public meeting that is mentioned in ECHO’s July cover story. Love Earlsdon reports:
The future of Earlsdon Library: South Earlsdon Neighbours Association SENA & North Earlsdon Neighbourhood Association (NENA) have organised a public meeting to discuss how the ‘community’ will run the library and other local amenities should the council pull the plug on them in the near future due to funding cuts imposed on it by the Conservative government at Westminster.
Both associations work closely with the council on various issues so this is an ideal chance to let them know what you think and find out more about any plans they may have to ensure the library remains open.
The meeting takes place at Coventry Resource Centre for the Blind, 33 Earlsdon Avenue South, CV5 6TH on Monday 6 July at 7.30pm.
If you can’t make the meeting but would like to make your views known please e-mail them to Mike the SENA Chair.

The upcoming events are not displaying correctly and some of the images in the archive are not showing.
We will correct these problems as soon as we can.
Tonight, upstairs at the newly-refurbished Maudslay. There are more details on the event page.
July sees ECHO reaching its 400th issue and to coincide with that momentous event, we are pleased to present a new look website.
As well as regular news updates, there is a detailed events diary with maps showing the locations of venues and a growing archive of features from past issues. In addition, the whole site is searchable from the bar in the top right corner of the window.
We hope that you find it to be useful.
