Neighbourhood Consultative Forums

Forums meetings are held in each area North and Coastal and South and Central quarterly to discuss, local issues and concerns, and information on what's happening in the area. They ensure that residents of the town are better informed about the way their council services and other major service providers are run and allow them to get involved in the decision making process. Consultation with local people is a key element of the Forums.

The public are encouraged to attend their local area forum and meeting times alternate to allow as many people as possible to attend.  Venues are always located within the area and are easily accessible.  All residents are welcome and although forums are popular attracting a large and diverse crowd, the Council want to ensure that they are continuously improved and developed, to do this it's essential that residents continue to be involved and support these meetings in the future.

The Forums are responsible for improving your area in many ways and have been instrumental in carrying out the following improvements throughout the town:

• Street lighting improvements, which include painting street light columns and installing new street lights in dimly lit areas of the town.
• Improved Green areas and hanging baskets to improve the the appearance of streets.
• Pedestrian tactile crossings to improve accesibility for all.
• Installation of alley gates to improve community security and tackle anti-social behaviour.

If you would like to raise an issue for improvement come along to the Forum in your area.
