Local Economy on agenda at next Community Forum in Stratford

'Revitalising the Local Economy in the Town' is the main topic up for discussion at the next Stratford Community Forum on Monday 6 December and there is also free transport to the meeting.

The Community Forum starts at 6.30pm at Welcombe Hills School, Blue Cap Road, Stratford-upon-Avon and the main items on the agenda will include:

• Your Jobs
• Your Shops
• Manufacturing

Come along and have your say about Stratford Town - find out what's happening and have your say on making improvements.

The free transport to the meeting is courtesy of Back & 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 by Thursday 2 December. Please call on 01789 260133 or email stratford@warwickshire.gov.uk to arrange your pick up.

A local policing Safer Neighbourhoods Team surgery will also take place at 6pm, 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.

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: stratfordoffice@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.
