Drylaw Neighbourhood Centre to host Drop-in Events

SHARE YOUR VIEWS ON DRYLAW COMMUNITY OWNERSHIP PLANS

DNC are in the process of trying to buy the land that we sit on – we currently own the building, but not the land.

We would love to hear your views about this.

If you could spare ten minutes to complete our survey we would be most grateful.

This can be accessed at bit.ly/Drylaw

We are hosting two drop in events over the next week: one TONIGHT – Thursday 12th February from 6pm – 8pm and one on Monday lunchtime (16th February) between 10:30 – 1:00.

Please come along and view the space and give us your views.

We really would appreciate it.
