Neighbourhood Forums

Neighbourhood Forums are scheduled this month. They are open to all residents and give local people the chance to talk to councillors and officials about issues affecting our communities including, this time, what joining a West Midlands Combined Authority could mean. The ones covering the ECHO area are:

Whoberley 7.00pm Thursday 2 July, Whoberley Hall Primary School, Overdale Road CV5 8AJ
Earlsdon 7.00pm Thursday 16 July, Village Hotel, Dolomite Avenue CV4 9GZ
Sherbourne 7.00pm Tuesday 28 July, venue TBC
St Michael’s 6.00pm Wednesday 22 July, venue TBC

For updates see Coventry City Council.

Welcome to ECHO’s new website

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.
