Forum Meetings
The Neighbourhood Forum meets three times a year.
The County Council uses Neighbourhood Forums to consult on important changes to services. Local groups can publicise community projects and apply for grants towards their activities if they can show how these benefit the local community.
You can also raise matters of local concern which will then be taken up with the organisation responsible e.g. Police or Health etc.
