RESIDENTS and community groups living in St Mary’s ward now have a meeting place thanks to social landlord Contour Homes.

The company has just launched a community hub at its St Mary’s development, which will open several hours a day to provide a base for community groups as well as local service providers such as the police and the council.

Contour’s community investment officer Shanine Meadowcroft said: “Residents said they wanted a base on their doorstep to provide facilities like this.

“Over the next few months, the hub will host community events, meetings with residents, training and employment advice. In addition, we will also hold a Christmas, Easter and summer event.”

Contour is transforming St Mary’s and building 93 homes, some of which will be for general rent and some for purchase through a shared-ownership scheme.
