A PUBLIC meeting takes place in Alvechurch tonight for parishioners to have a say on how life in the village could be improved.

Alvechurch Parish Council has been urged by the Government to produce a Parish Plan, with funding help from the Countryside Agency.

The plan will be designed by the community, covering everything of relevance to those who live in the parish, including social, economic and environmental issues.

The meeting takes place at Alvechurch Village Hall, Bear Hill, from 7.30pm.
