Villagers have say
The possible impact of budget cuts on local services, how the Community Payback scheme could work in our communities and more will be on the agenda at the next meeting of the Warwick Rural East Community Forum on Thursday 21 October.
The Forum will be held at Bubbenhall Village Hall from 7pm.
The meeting is open to all residents living in and around the villages of Cubbington, Blackdown, Old Milverton, Bubbenhall, Wappenbury, Weston, Eathorpe, Offchurch, Hunningham, Radford Semele and Stoneleigh, and will be Chaired by Warwick District Councillor Michael Doody.
Community Forums are regular public meetings that allow you to raise issues or local concerns and are a way of keeping you up-to-date with what is happening in YOUR community.
From 7pm, residents will be able to talk to the Police about any individual or confidential issues they may have at an informal surgery, before the Forum meeting starts at 7.30pm.
Local people will be able to have their say on the top priorities that the Warwick Rural East Safer Neighbourhood Team should focus their efforts on in the local area over the next few months. The Team plays a central role in the Community Forum, attending every meeting, both to talk about their work over the previous three months and to gauge concerns from local people.
Frank Gravenor from Warwickshire Probation will be sharing information on the Community Payback scheme and residents will have the opportunity to ask questions. Councillor Eithne Goode will also be giving an update on the Warwickshire Police Authority.
Residents at the meeting will also be able to influence which local groups and projects receive funding from the Forum Grant Fund. The Community Forum holds a pot of money to support local projects and tackle issues raised as priorities in Warwick Rural East.
