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.
