A SUCCESSFUL event in the Heaton area encouraging people to get together and celebrate the community is being repeated on Saturday June 23.
The Great Get Together Garden Party is being held from noon to 4pm at The Scout Hut on Markland Hill.
Last year’s event was launched to commemorate the death of MP Jo Cox, a committed campaigner for humanitarian causes, who was killed by right-wing extremist Thomas Mair in 2016. More than 200 people attended the inaugural local event last year and organisers decided to repeat it this year. For more information go to https://www.facebook.com/heatongettogether
