Local Area Forums
Community Local Area Forums are supported by the Strategic Partnerships team.
What is a Local Area Forum?
- An innovative and new way to bring people together who live and work in an area to make a difference
- A partnership of individuals, agencies and organisations which work together to tackle local issues and to listen to local people.
Who are the members of a Local Area Forum?
- Anyone from a local area who wants to make a difference and can contribute time, money, advice and expertise to a partnership
- Forums bring together local councillors, businesses, colleges, health, police, churches, community groups and anybody else who can help make their local area a better place to live.
What does a Local Area Forum do?
Each Local Area Forum is different and has grown in response to local needs and local issues, but they all have the same aims:
- To work with local people to improve their quality of life
- To take action to tackle local issues
- To influence plans and services for the area and make sure they are what people want
- To raise money for local projects
- To bring together all those who live and work in an area in a positive and active partnership.
