Local issues up for debate and a new start time for the next Stratford Community Forum

There's free transport and free childcare for the next Stratford-upon-Avon Community Forum as well as a new start time of 4pm on Monday 14 March at Bishopton Community Centre, Drayton Avenue, Stratford-upon-Avon, CV37 9PB.

There's a packed agenda all about issues in your local area including:

• Do you have children at school?  What are your issues?
• Are you a resident who lives near a school and parking is a problem?
• Are you a resident in Stratford Town and want to have your say about local policing

We want to hear how we can improve things for you - come along, have your say and help shape the future of your community.

A local policing Safer Neighbourhoods Team surgery will also take place at 3.30pm, 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

The free transport to the meeting is courtesy of Back and 4th and is available to anyone who doesn't have access to their own transport, doesn't like to go out alone at night or maybe has mobility problems.  Spaces are limited and must be booked in advance 10^th March. Please call on 01789 260133 or email stratford@warwickshire.gov.uk to arrange your pick up.

Free quality childcare is also available for the duration of the forum please call 01789 266624 to book your place.

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.
