The council gave us the go ahead and we finally secured the right to form our own town council. This has been a long and draining road but I am relieved that we can finally start making local decisions for ourselves. Stay tuned as we begin the difficult work of …

MEIR MATTERS - LIKE NEVER BEFORE!
The Kings Arms, The Broadway Cinema, Barclays Bank, Britannia Building Society - we’ve lost them all! Why? Because we are not the decision makers.
BUT THAT COULD ALL CHANGE WITH YOUR HELP!
We want to bring home some of the power and decision making. We want to form MEIR TOWN COUNCIL.
Stoke-on-Trent unlike all other parts of Staffordshire has no Town or Parish Council’s. That means all of the decisions that affect our area are made my people in Stoke who don’t live here!
By creating a Town Council it means local people make local decisions.
Stoke-on-Trent City Council is a unitary authority, which basically means it makes its own decisions and does not report in to Staffordshire County Council. This means it’s a big area and so any money is spread thinly, wide and far
By having Meir Town Council it means we would have a budget to be used solely in Meir for the benefit of Meir people.
The budget can be used to support local charities and community groups, more facilities, reduce crime, litter as well as making the area more attractive to live.
Your signature today will bring us all one step closer to bringing some of the power home!.

The path forward is exhausting but we are nearing one hundred signatures. Please send this link to your neighbors so we can finally force the city to acknowledge our demand for local control.

Give 7s the opportunity to govern our area as we know what it needs. We have no voice and therefore lack of understanding of how this community works and can help themselves if given the chance and a voice to champion our causes to make this area great again.
Personally my other parent took me for walks and people who baby sorted me as a child. Shown me natures wonders. For a child’s experience to see such wonders of natural beauty is therapeutic. This is giving elements of keeping the culture of Stoke-on-Trent safer also by the global crisis in environmental technologies. Eco technologies don’t need to knock down such natural resources. Animals should be protected because they are there in their natural environment. Very educational for children in school to visiting places like this.
I wish you every success in your endeavour.
