Nidd Gorge and Bilton – our next Forum meeting

Nidd Gorge

We thought we would start the year off with a lighter theme. Ray Barker’s talk will be about Nidd Gorge and Bilton and will also include a night study of the local wild life. We hope you will enjoy the talk.

Please note: In view of the proposed changes to NHS repeat prescription services, a representative of the local Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) will be giving a short presentation on how these changes could affect older people in the district.

This afternoon’s presentation highlighted the work of the group to date and emphasised the need for people to get involved with shaping future healthcare provision.
