Catton Grove Big Local are aiming to form a Friends of Waterloo Park group to help preserve and improve the park.

Big Local is an initiative funded by the Big Lottery Fund, and Catton Grove was one of the 150 communities to receive £1m from the scheme in 2012.

The money is to be spent over a 10 year period and development plans rely on input from volunteers living in the area.

The Friends of Waterloo Park concept is designed to bring together members of the community with Big Local volunteers to help restore the park.

Catton Grove Big Local will be holding an initial ideas session at the Park Britannia cafe in the pavilion at Waterloo Park at 3pm on Tuesday November 21.

Free refreshments will be available to all who attend.
