Involving and Supporting Local People

Neighbourhood Forums
There are 12 Neighbourhood Forum areas in the Allerdale area that hold public meetings on up and coming local issues, and also make recommendations on  community grants   

Other Consultations
Neighbourhood and Community Forums also support ways in which local residents can become involved in shaping the priorities for their area, through community action planning and other participatory appraisal processes.
