Residents get say on police and more
Policing in Kenilworth, local grants and more will be on the agenda at the next meeting of the Kenilworth Community Forum on Monday 6 December.
The Forum will be held at the Youth and Community Centre, Abbey End, Kenilworth from 6.30pm.
The meeting is also the venue for the premiere of ‘Major Effects – it’s all about ME’, a short film funded by the Kenilworth Community Forum about the risks of driving. The film was produced by young people in Kenilworth and a discussion about planning local youth provision into the future is also on the agenda.
The meeting is open to all residents living in Kenilworth town and will be chaired by Kenilworth Town Councillor Pauline Edwards.
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 6.30pm, 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 7pm.
Local people will receive an update on the future of policing in Kenilworth and be able to have their say on the top priorities that the Kenilworth 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.
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 Kenilworth.
Other items on the agenda include an update on the Castle Farm Recreation Centre, following on from an information-sharing event that is being held this Saturday 27 November between 9am and 12.30pm at the Recreation Centre.
