St James’ Community Action Group (SJCAG), one of the most active and well supported LATs in the City, is holding an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) on Wednesday, February 12.
The EGM called just weeks before the scheduled annual AGM, will take place at St Mary’s Church on the corner of Upper Rock Gardens and starts at 7pm.
The meeting has come about as a result of 26 residents calling for the election of new officers to fill vacant posts on the executive committee.
Chris Cooke, the current Chairperson, said: “We have responded to the concerns of those organising this petition to elect new officers in a way that ensures issues are discussed as soon as possible although it seems unnecessary to organise a meeting so near to our AGM. We would rather be spending time attempting to get our local councillors to work for improvements to, and investment in, St James’ Street and our local area. We particularly we need action to reduce pollution and improve air quality as well as continuing improvements to lighting, cleaning and greening our environment, and working with the police and the licensing authority”
SJCAG is encouraging as many as local residents as possible to attend the meeting which will be facilitated and chaired by Chris Gull.
