Plus Dane works across Cheshire and Merseyside to invest in our neighbourhoods and improve quality of life. For quick reference, we have listed our events by each area on the right.

The key highlights ‘Family Events’ and events aimed at ‘Everyone’ (all ages) in Cheshire and Merseyside. These can be found throughout the brochure using the icons on the right with a quick colour-coded reference in ‘green’ for Cheshire and ‘blue’ for Merseyside.

We have everything crossed for a perfect summer; however we know how unpredictable the weather can be. The success of many events depends on having dry days and it will be diffi cult to deliver some of the events if we experience a downpour. Unfortunately poor weather may

result in events being cancelled with short notice. Please ring us to check on 0500 026 079 (for Cheshire events) or 0800 169 2988 (for Merseyside events).

We know how a poor environment can impact on quality of life for residents.

They are also a great opportunity to come along and have a chat with your neighbourhood team.

They will be taking place in:

Kirby Town CentreCherryfi eld Crescent, Eagles Court & Spicer Grove Thursday 30 June, 10am – 12pm

If you would like further information on any further information on any of these In Your Neighbourhood events please contact Lisa Cover on 0151 522 1331 or email at [email protected].
