Youth Service on the agenda at the next Southam & Feldon Community Forum

The Youth Service is changing – come along and hear first hand how it will affect the communities in the Southam area at the next Southam and Feldon Community Forum on Wednesday 8 June at 7pm at The Dassett Primary School, Memorial Hall, Fenny Compton.

Items up for discussion this time round include:

• Transformation of Youth Service
• Southam Vision update
• Identify YOUR priorities for local policing

A local policing Safer Neighbourhoods Team surgery 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 Southam 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 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.

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.
