Actions to be taken: What are Community Forums? <p>Community Forum meetings are regular meetings where Safer Neighbourhood Teams, members of the public, local agencies such as The Youth Service, The District Council, the County Council and other local agencies discuss issues within the local neighbourhood. The meetings give members of the public the chance to raise issues for the authorities to tackle. Actions and results are reported at future meetings and new priorities are then set. <p>If you cant get to a meeting why not contribute now online. To ensure we tackle the issues that matter most locally we need input from as many people as possible within local communities. However if you find it difficult to get to these meetings but have an issue you would like to be raised, you can complete our online survey and your concerns will be raised at the next meeting. <p><a herf="http://www.safer-neighbourhoods.co.uk/your-neighbourhood/stratford-district/Wellesbourne/current-priorities/neighbourhood-priorities-test/current-priorities/pact-survey">Click here for the online survey</a>
