Take Action: Make Your Voice Heard
Now, for the first time, everyone in Hillingdon has a chance to show their support for RAGC staying at its uniquely safe and secure site in Yiewsley by coming to a residents’ meeting at RAGC. The meeting has just been announced by the Council and will take place on Friday 27th February starting at 10.30 am.
This is not a consultation as the Council has already made its decision, but with the local elections just over 2 months away, it would be a great time to show how much support RAGC has from across the borough.
PLEASE COME TO RAGC TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT ON 27th FEBRUARY AND LET THE COUNCIL KNOW WHAT YOU THINK AT THEIR MEETING.
