Jim wins shopping trip
A shopping trip is on the agenda for Jim Mills after he came out tops in Trafford Council's neighbourhood forum prize draw!
Mr Mills, from Stretford, had his name pulled out of the hat to win £100 worth of vouchers donated by the Stamford Quarter in Altrincham.
He said: "It was a shock to win! I've never missed a neighbourhood forum and I think they're great because you can talk to people about your issues and get jobs done."
The council's area services team organised the draw for local people who took part in the neighbourhood forum annual survey, which was sent out to 1400 people who attended forums across Trafford over the past year.
The research revealed that 70 per cent of those who took part were satisfied with what the forums had to offer.
Executive councillor Mike Cornes said: "Thanks to everyone who took part in the survey. The satisfaction rate is good but now we will take on board what local people have said to make neighbourhood forums even better over the next year.
"The current forums are informing people about how changes in the council's waste collection and recycling services later in the year will affect them. Future forums we will be consulting about the proposed public transport improvements and congestion charging for Greater Manchester.
"These are two important issues for local people and neighbourhood forums are a great way for them to engage with the council and other organisations to get the information they need and have their say."
