The New Town and Broughton Community Council has agreed its meeting dates for 2025. As in previous years, we will continue to hold meetings on the second Monday of each month (with the exception of January and July when there are no regular meetings scheduled). We are also planning to continue to use a mix of in-person and on-line meetings throughout the year. In-person meetings will be held at the Drummond Room of Broughton St Marys Church on Bellevue Crescent. On-line meetings will be held on Zoom – a meeting link will be provided along with the agenda a week before each meeting.
