Gunnersbury Park CIC is holding a workshop discussion on how the park should be run.  And MAMACO, in effect Lovebox/Citadel, is establishing a Community Advisory Board to ensure it is accountable, responsive and having a community benefit.

There had been some…

There will now  be a second feedback session for residents to have their say on the Lovebox/Citadel festivals  – because the first session is oversubscribed.  The second session will be held at 20.00 hours on Monday, 3rd September – immediately after the first session at 18.00 hours.  Be quick to apply – spaces are limited.…
