Get involved and have your say at the next Henley & Studley Community Forum

The next Henley and Studley Community Forum is on Thursday 7 October at Studley Youth & Community centre, Studley at 7.30pm.

The main items up for discussion include:

• A voice for young people in Studley
• Developing the action plan - another chance to help shape the future of your community
• Open Space Review - Allotments, children's play areas, sports facilities and open spaces - have your say

The local policing Safer Neighbourhoods Team surgery will take place before the Community Forum meeting, at 7pm. Officers will be available to provide feedback on the issues raised at earlier surgeries and residents will be able to hear the latest on policing in their area from Warwickshire Police.

Sergeant Bob Shaw, Team Leader for Alcester North Safer Neighbourhoods Team said: "Your attendance and input at forums is essential in order for us to know and address the issues causing concern in the local 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.

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.
