Open all hours
Don't forget it's our open meeting on Monday, 2.00pm to 4.30pm at the Voluntary Action Centre on Mansfield Road. We'll be talking about what we want Community Network to achieve over the next year, building on the discussions at our annual meeting last summer. You'll also get a quick update on the work of each of the theme partnerships, and the chance to network with colleagues from all over the sector. It's an open meeting, so just come along on the day. Here's the agenda.

Correction
Last week we included an article about the regeneration initiative on the Hungerhill allotments. Contrary to what our article said, the consultation on this has closed and a plan is now in place. STAA manage the site, and Groundwork Greater Nottingham are the contractors for the capital works on the site. You can read the plan here: www.staa-allotments.org.uk
