Meeting with the councillor Kevin Peel on the 30th May 2014. 18 people attended.
20 members from the local Chinese community had a meeting with the Councillor Kevin Peel to discuss the issues raised on the 27th March 2014. The Councillor announced that there will be new bins to replace the old ones and extra bins will be put in Chinatown and around the City Centre. Work will be done on the pavements and tree trimming around Canal Street and Richmond Street. Discussion is underway as to how and where to install the benches in the City Centre. Participants were pleased with the outcome. A monthly meeting has been agreed with the councillor. CHIC provides an ideal platform and an easy access for service users and members of the local Chinese community for their voices to be heard. A Cantonese interpreter was used to enable such meeting to take place. The next meeting will be held on 27th June 2014 at 12.30pm at CHIC. We welcome local members to get involved.
