 A Brighter Future for the Somerset Levels
The Hills to Levels Partnership, with support from players of People’s Postcode Lottery, launches their community engagement programme in March. Through a programme of free events, local people are invited to share their views on what makes the Somerset Levels special.
Hills to Levels Community Outreach Officer, Steve Mewes said: “We’re here to help people from all across the Levels shape a ‘common vision’, a vision which sets the way for a brighter future for the Levels. To achieve this we need input, knowledge and passion from everyone, young and old.
We’re kicking things off with the following exciting events. They are all free, so please come along, enjoy the presentations and give us your views.”
