Partners and Communities Together (PACT) Colne Valley High School will be the new venue for the Colne Valley PACT Meetings. We are grateful for the continuing support shown by the school which is set in the heart of the Colne Valley. The next meeting will be on Thursday July 15, start 6pm. A police spokesman said: ”The reason the meetings are changing venue is that we are making it personal to YOU. Since the start of PACT meetings we here in The Valleys have attended Colne Valley Area Committee Meetings (ACM) and given an update at those. Due to the restructure of the ACMs for this coming year and the fact that no dates have been set for any public meetings we are going local so you can pop in and see us. “
