The Atmore City Council approved a license for Newman Medical Services to provide an ambulance service at the drag way during its meeting Monday.

In other business, the council approved the second annual Love Walk to be held Sun., July 16.

Walk Coordinator the Rev. Harold Askew said they want to make this year’s walk bigger.

“We want to make this a day of love, and have one big gathering at Heritage Park again,” he said.

Last year’s walk included participants walking from city hall, down Presley Street, turning right on Craig Street and finishing at Heritage Park, where a rally was held.

The walk was held in large part due to the shootings in Baton Rouge, La., St. Paul, Minn. and Dallas, Texas, that rocked the country. Eight police officers were killed from shootings after two black men were shot and killed by law enforcement in a two-week period.

The Love Walk item was added to the meeting agenda and then approved by the council.

The next city council meeting is slated for Mon., June 12.
