We’re trialling a new format.
We understand it’s never easy to find a time that suits everyone, and we’ve listened to feedback from resident’s keen to see greater flexibility in how they attend meetings. In response, we’re trialling a new format for our upcoming Resident Update Meeting, taking place on Wednesday 16th July at 7:00pm.
This time, the meeting will be held not just in person but online via Microsoft Teams, offering a hybrid format. The aim is to make it easier for more residents to take part – whether you’re at home, away, or simply unable to attend in person. We hope this approach encourages wider participation and helps more people stay engaged with NPEL matters.
You’re welcome to join us either online or in person at St Nics Church, Maid Marian Way.
We hope this blended approach offers everyone greater flexibility. Whether you value the convenience of joining from home or the benefits of an in-room discussion, you’ll be able to take part in a way that suits you best.
We will be circulating the meeting invite in the coming weeks.
