Forum Meetings

The Millom Neighbourhood Forum meets a minimum of four times per year with meetings being held in a variety of venues within Millom town.

Forum Area

The Millom Forum area covers the town of Millom, the village of Haverigg and the area immediately surrounding these two centres of population.

Within the area there is a small industrial base in Millom and HMP Haverigg that offer employment opportunities though the majority of the workforce have to travel outwith the area to work.

The population of the area is a little over 7,350 and this figure is continuing to fall as it has done over the last ten years.

Geographically, Millom is isolated it being 50/60 minutes away from any major centre of population, and the issues that are important to the community tend to relate in some way to this isolation. Transport, employment and policing are all major areas of concern.
