Residents in Great Aycliffe & Middridge can find out how local issues are being tackled when the local area action partnership holds their next board meeting later this month. The Great Aycliffe & Middridge Partnership Board will be meeting on Tuesday 17 January 2017, between 6pm and 8pm, at OakLeaf Sports Complex, and members of the public are invited to go along to observe proceedings.  Local people can also raise any local neighbourhood or policing issues that they would like the Board to address. These ideally need to be put in writing and sent in advance of the meeting. The Board will be receiving an update presentation on urgent care, as well as organised crime.  Board members will also be reviewing two project applications for funding from Area and Neighbourhood Budgets at the meeting. Another important agenda item at this meeting will be for Board members to discuss and agree the key priorities that GAMP will focus its work on in the next financial year.  There was a county-wide priority voting initiative held during November/ December 2016, and the results will be made available at the meeting, for Board members to consider. Anyone who would like to attend the Board meeting should register in advance by ringing 01325 327441, or by emailing gampaap@ durham.gov.uk   Great Aycliffe & Middridge Partnership is one of 14 Area Action Partnerships set up by Durham County Council in 2009.
