31/05/2025 By end of month, just under 200 Gartconner Primary School children have returned ‘Three Wishes for My Community’ cards, providing 558 wishes and invaluable information both for the Waterside Community Hub project and for a Local Place Plan for the area. Included on some of their wish lists is an indoor football pitch, a gymnastics club and a cinema – requests which underline how popular our hub is likely to be.

If you’d like to help by filling in the survey with your wishes for the area, please go to https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/make3wishes
