Again, the session will run from 11am-2pm.

Councillor Obaida Ahmed, Cabinet Member for Health, Wellbeing and Community, said: "We first held these Love Your Community fun days last summer and they proved hugely successful, giving residents the chance to come together, have fun, learn more about what's happening locally, and share ideas which could improve their neighbourhood.

"This year's events will once again include a wide range of activities and information, so I'd encourage residents of all ages to come along, get involved and make the most of what's on offer."
