Townsend

The Townsend Carnival takes place this Saturday 24th July, 10.30am – 4.00pm, at Mitchell High School. Rumour has it that this carnival, organized by Townsend Community Residents’ Association, is a most vibrant event and certainly one not to miss. Entry is free and there are activities for all generations, music and family sports and games.

Residents are being given the chance to find out how a £177m scheme will transform six city housing estates. Stoke-on-Trent City Council has been provisionally allocated the money under round six of the government’s private finance initiative. It paves the way for more than 700 homes to be built and environmental improvements to be made in the suburban estates of Abbey Hulton, Bentilee, Blurton, Chell Heath and Fegg Hayes, Meir and Norton.
