The Final SRA Meeting for Somerfield Residents Association for 2016 is on Monday 14th November at 7.30pm @ Somerfield Community Centre, 47 Studholme Street.
Everyone is welcome to join our awesome SRA Committee, other local residents & local representatives for the evening & a sample of Bubbles to finish the year off!!
This is the very last opportunity that any of our community can have a last say & if we can agree on some aspects for the Proposed Quarryman's Cycle Trail - SRA can submit these final points to the Major 13 Cycle Team Organisers for their further consideration.
As kindly advised by our City Councillors: Tim Scandrett & Phil Clearwater - SRA Committee have put in a Submission (prior to the closing date of 10th November) but the actual content of this submission is to be forwarded after discussion/agreement & confirmation from our meeting.
However, If opinions are too diverse & no points are unable to be agreed upon - the SRA Submission can always be easily withdrawn.
Meanwhile SRA has a final and great opportunity to be heard as a group voice for this important Submission Process affecting our community!! Come along and let us know your thoughts!!!

Kind Regards Julie Tobbell (SRA Chair) & C/- our SRA Committee.
