Cllr Kaz Rizvi, Portfolio Holder for Community Health & Wellbeing Portfolio Holder said:
This event highlighted the key issues affecting residents and the wider community in Limes Farm. It was fantastic to see some of the great work already being done amongst partner organisations from across the system.
I was delighted to hear from local residents and speak with a range of different organisations. Hopefully by connecting local stakeholders, EFDC can create a support network that embeds their services into the community and provide solutions to address local health challenges and better support the Limes Farm community.
Thank you to all residents, providers and staff involved who made this event a resounding success.
