Diglis Community Centre

 

Diglis Community Centre


For years there has been a planning condition on this building behind me, of providing a community center for the residents of Diglis.

 Your labor councilors have been trying persistently, to ensure that the property remains visible and is marketed as a community center.

 After years of campaigning, we are proud to say that we are making good progress!

We are working with the Diglis Hub who are a local community group, they group have now managed to get charity status, with a view of  finding ways to take ownership and convert this empty abandoned space into a fully thriving wellness hub which the residents can enjoy.

A much-needed facility for a beautiful area of the city to create a sense of community and belonging. Some results are instantaneous some take years we will continue to ensure that we do everything we can to realize this ambition for the Diglis community!

Your local Councillors Working Hard all year round

A new Friends Group

A new Website and Online Forum has been set up by a group of  of enthusiastic volunteers and local residents from Diglis. The website seeks to encourage local involvement and discussion regarding local issues. In addition to this the Forum is in the process of setting up a formal Friends group for the Diglis Playing Fields. If you would like to get involved please contact Claire Marshall @ claire-marshall@tiscali.co.uk or wisit the web-site register and get involved in the discussion boards. www.diglis.com I think this is a brilliant idea and could not come at a better time. The playing fields have to be protected for community use and the best way to go about this is by forming a local friends group and then lobbying Local Gov for action. I am fully supportive of this forum and will help as much as I can to help with local issues.
