WHITTLE Hall councillor Faisal Rashid said he is pleased to announce a residents’ association has now been formed for the area.

A number of volunteers came forward during a meeting to set up Whittle Hall residents’ association earlier this month and the first community meeting for the ward will now take place on September 29.

Possible agenda items for the meeting at Whittle Hall Community Centre, Lonsdale Close, from 7pm, include a CSOs overview and issues the police are currently dealing with in the ward. A Whittle Hall Community Facebook page has also been set up.
