Watch out the 'CAT IS ABOUT'
Communities Acting Together (CAT) is a resident led committee which offers help and support to residents associations in the Dyke House and Jackson wards and was formed by the residents of these wards. CAT was established to enable residents associations to help each other and solve problems, along with giving residents a stronger voice to highlight the residents' needs.

CAT can also help members to attend training courses on subjects such as fundraising, equal opportunities and skills development. Currently 6 residents associations are involved in CAT: Clarence Road Residents. Furness,Cameron and Belk Residents. Oak and Pine Reidents. Willow Walk Residents. Dyke House Residents. Brougham Area Residents. The committee actively encourages new membership. If your residents association is interested in attending a CAT meeting, or you would like advance on setting up a residents association please contact: George Bradley: 01429 868431
