RESIDENTS in Aveley are being urged to attend a workshop session next week which will contribute to the creation of a blueprint for the local community's future.

On Monday (13 January) between 2 and 8pm a 'drop in' session will take place at St Michael's Church on Aveley High Street.

It will be the second in a series of community design workshops when local residents will get their say on plans for the town.

A spokesperson for the event said: "We want your thoughts on where community spaces, work places, schools, parks, road, play areas and homes should go in the future and what they will be like."
