8th District Focus Group to meet Aug. 3
8/2/2019, 6 a.m.
Drainage ditches that are clogged with trash and vegetation, stray cats and dogs, sidewalks in disrepair that are difficult to navigate and playgrounds that lack equipment.
That’s part of a long to-do list that the new 8th District Focus Group in South Side plans to bring to the attention of elected officials at a public meeting 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 3, at the Broad Rock Branch of the Richmond Public Library, 4820 Old Warwick Road.
The group that was organized to address concerns and issues in the City Council district hopes to have residents turn out to add to the to-do list in the section of the city that Councilwoman Reva M. Trammell currently represents.
Ms. Trammell has been invited to the meeting, along with Mayor Levar M. Stoney, Richmond Commonwealth’s Attorney Colette W. McEachin, Richmond Delegate Jeff M. Bourne and state Senate candidate Joseph D. “Joe” Morrissey, the group has announced.
“This is not about criticism of anyone. This is about getting things done,” said Amelia Lightner, one of the organizers of the group.
