This Motion is urgent as phases two and three of the revitalization of Lawrence Heights are currently going through the preliminary Request for Proposal process and are about to go to tender. There is an urgent need to ensure that the next phases of the project include a community safety hub. This space would be available for use by Lawrence Heights Residents groups to hold meetings and also as a location for the local community police officers to share and exchange information with members of the community.
