As a valued partner of Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council, I am writing to you to ask for your assistance in promoting our newly launched public consultation – Be Nu.

We have been carefully developing plans for over two years which include some exciting changes for the towns, parks and leisure facilities in both Nuneaton and Bedworth.

As these proposals outline important innovations which will affect residents and businesses across the Borough, we are keen to let people know about the consultation and encourage participation and feedback, which is why we are asking for your help.

What are we asking you to do?

It would be wonderful if you could either share the posts on our Facebook page, or check out @wecanbenu and share messages from there.

Please encourage your club members, gym members, parents, customers, patients and community groups to fill in the survey; don’t miss out on a chance to have your say!

Visit www.be-nu.co.uk for more information, take a look at the proposed plans and tell us what you think.

This is your chance to have a say on what YOU actually want so don’t miss out!
