MAKE YOUR PLACE…GREAT!
You are invited to share ideas for the future of your town!
The local community in Kilwinning is invited to have their say and help shape the future of Kilwinning as part of a pilot project in North Ayrshire Council – to identify priorities and projects to address local needs and ambitions.
Public Ideas Workshops will be held in Kilwinning on 24 May in Erskine Church Hall, alongside on-street engagement activities in advance and on the days of the workshops. Members of the team will also be in and around the town to canvass the opinion of folk on-street. Updates will also be provided via social media using the hashtag #MakeKilwinning.
More information at Make your place great.
Have your say in the future of Kilwinning!
