Ian Baird, the BHHC Outdoor Events Development Community Manager intends to hold meetings to explain his role and reassure residents if they have any concerns regarding events. To do this it is intended to hold a series of local consultation meetings centred around key event locations in the city. It is hoped that these groups will meet regularly to discuss upcoming events, share concerns and aspirations about the events programme and even suggest events for future seasons. The first of these meetings for Preston Park will take place between 18:00-20:00 on Thursday, 20th October 2022 at the St Peter’s Cricket Club near the velodrome and will be an open forum.
