The Safer Neighbourhoods Team surgery will take place before the Community Forum meeting at 6.30pm and Officers will be giving feedback on the issues raised earlier at their surgeries and residents will be able to hear the latest on policing in their local area from Warwickshire Police.

Chris Cuthbertson, Area Sergeant for the Rural Safer Neighbourhood Team says: "Community forums are a great way to get issues addressed locally.  They give access to other agencies including the Local Policing team.  The more local representation we have, the more local issues can be addressed when raised by the community."

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. For more information about this forum please contact Lizzie Price, Area Support Officer on 01789 260133 or go to www.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.
