NEXT week is crunch-time for residents of East ward.

A public meeting to work up plans to regenerate the area is being held on Thursday at the Geoffrey Kershaw Centre.

Before that, there will be a three-day exhibition at the centre from Monday to Wednesday (June 1 to 3) which will highlight some of the council's ideas.

Local authority leaders are keen to see a large turnout, and stress that the people's views are paramount. The meeting starts at 7.30pm.
