Councillor Ejaz Ahmed, lead member for communities, sport, leisure and public protection, said: “Safer Langley is about neighbours, partners and local services working together to make Langley a safer, stronger and healthier place to live.
“This community drop-in day is a great opportunity for residents to meet the teams who work hard behind the scenes, raise any local concerns - including issues around anti-social behaviour - and find out what support and activities are available in their area.
“It’s set to be a fantastic day for families too, with free children’s activities and a welcoming space for everyone to connect, share and support one another. Events like this strengthen trust between residents and the services that serve them, which is what Safer Langley is all about.”
Free activities for children will include face painting, bouncy castle and arts and crafts.
The event is supported by Slough Borough Council, Cardo, Absolute Interpreters and Best Start in Life Family Hubs. The hubs are a single place to get support for children, young people and families and the team from Romsey Close Best Start Family Hub in Langley will be available on the day.
