Stratford's next Community Forum meeting is scheduled to take place on Monday 5th July 2010 starting at 5.30pm at Stratford Town Football Club, Knight Lane, Tiddington when the main topic on the agenda will be 'Services Voluntary Groups and Social Services - working for you and with you'
This will take the form of a 'Question and Answer' session where you can put your questions about the Voluntary Sector and Social Services to a panel of experts.
Cllr Clive Thomas, Community Forum Chairman said: "It is very important that members of the public attend both the police forum which starts at 5pm and the main forum at 5.30pm this is the opportunity to have your say and set the main agenda item for the next forum."
There will also be a local surgery and Information Stands from 5.00pm - 5.30pm where you can find out more about the Voluntary Sector, Social Services, Citizens Advice Bureaux and Neighbourhood Watch. The Police Surgery also gives you the chance to have your say on what should be priority in the town for your local Police Team.
Sergeant Mandy Crust, Team Leader for Stratford Safer Neighbourhoods Team said: "Voluntary groups and social services are integral to the Stratford community. We value your attendance and input at forums as it is important we know the issues concerning the local community in order to deal with them effectively."
