COMMUNITY groups are now being given a voice in print, thanks to a new initiative from Irvine Community Council.
The idea to develop a physical noticeboard was hatched at a meeting of the group late last year.
Now, the new facility has been installed at Bridgegate, close to the main entrance of the Rivergate Shopping Centre - after sponsorship support helped get the idea off the ground.
Community council chair Chris Pless said: “We are delighted to unveil our new community noticeboard in the Bridgegate.
“I feel it’s a good idea to offer a physical noticeboard as not everyone is online.
“Also it is in a good location in the town centre so people can stop and look to see what’s on.
"Many thanks to the Rivergate Shopping Centre for their generous sponsorship to make this possible, and to our volunteers providing their services for free to install the board in its new home. It will be a focal point for activities in the town.
“We would welcome contributions from any group in the town who would like to promote events they are running.”
Those who have a notice they would like posted are asked to email any relevant documents or images to info@irvinecommunitycouncil.org.uk and the community council will post this on their behalf.
Alternatively, printed notices can be handed into the Rivergate management or security office and it will be displayed.
The next meeting of Irvine Community Council will take place on Wednesday, April 9, at 5.30pm in the Volunteer Rooms with all welcome to attend.
