How forums work

Forums are community meetings open to everyone. They are chaired by elected individuals who are independent of the council.

Our community engagement officers administer the meetings.

Representatives of other agencies take part as guest speakers or report on local matters.

Aims

The aims of forums are to:

  • listen to what it is important to you to help shape local actions 
  • share what goes on in your area
  • resolve concerns and celebrate achievements
  • empower communities to help them help themselves
  • work together to improve local relationships, knowledge and trust
