New time and format for Alcester and Bidford Community Forum

The next Alcester and Bidford Community Forum takes place with a new format and at a new time of10am on Tuesday 10 September at Crawford memorial Hall, Salford Road, Bidford-on-Avon.

This daytime event is more of a drop-in event and will focus on topics such as welfare reform issues, debt management, loan sharks and housing issues, inviting local people to come along and talk to the experts.

Despite the different format to the Community Forum there is still The Big Vote to help set the Police priorities in the run up to the forum.  Voting begins on Tuesday 27 August and runs to Monday 9 September - make sure you cast your vote at www.warwickshire.police.uk/AlcesterS_BigVote

Community Forums are an interactive event enabling residents to learn about issues big and small affecting their area, get answers to questions and influence local decision-making. Anyone with a question about a local issue can go along and put it to officers from a range of organisations.

Community Forums are part of a countywide initiative involving Warwickshire County Council, District and Borough Councils, NHS Warwickshire, Warwickshire Police and Warwickshire Together partners.  There are 30 forums across Warwickshire, which bring together elected representatives across all tiers of local government - County, District and Borough and Parish, together with a range of other community representatives.
