Following feedback received through our community engagement activities and reviewed by the Neighbourhood Board, approval has been granted to extend the Crook North/Tow Law Pride in Place boundary to include Crook Town Centre, Billy Row, Stanley Crook and Sunniside.

• Passionate about supporting local businesses and helping the area to thrive?
• Interested in shaping the future of Crook North/Tow Law and contributing to long-term positive change?

If so we would welcome an Expression of Interest from you.
