PEOPLE in Port Glasgow can have their say on affordable childcare and community safety as part of sessions organised by Inverclyde Council. 

As part of the authority's 'community conversations' programme there will be drop ins, online sessions and a focus on community safety and learning in the community.

The first Community Conversation event will be an in-person conversation at the Port Glasgow Town Hall on Monday, October 28 from 6-7pm.

This is followed by a  digital support drop-in session at Port Glasgow Library on Thursday, October 31 from 5.30-7.30pm to help people access the online platform and share their views.

Further Community Conversation weeks are scheduled for Greenock South and Southwest during the week beginning November 18, and for Greenock East and Central in the week starting December 2.

Members of the council's education and communities committee will be updated on the progress of the programme at their next meeting on November 5.
