Come and Have Your Say at Stratford Community Forum

The next Stratford-upon-Avon Community Forum has a new start time of 7pm on Thursday 9 June at Thomas Jolyffe Primary School, Clopton Road, Stratford-upon-Avon.

Items up for discussion this time round include:

• Find out the latest news on the Birmingham Road traffic flows situation
• Hear updates about the Budget situation for Councils, Police and Health Authority
• Open session for residents to have their say

A local policing Safer Neighbourhoods Team surgery and informal drop in session will also take place at 6.30pm, before the community forum meeting.  Officers will provide feedback on the issues raised at earlier surgeries and residents will be able to hear the latest on policing in their local area.

Sgt Richard Thomas, team leader for Stratford's Safer Neighbourhoods Team said: “Warwickshire Police is part of the community and this is a meeting for the community.  We welcome this opportunity to meet with residents and hear their concerns.  I do hope people will come along and get to know their local officers."

Community Forums are interactive events 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.

If you would like to suggest an issue for a future Community Forum meeting, or get involved, please contact the WCC Stratford Area Office on 01789 260133 or email: stratford@warwickshire.gov.uk

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.
