Young people will get their chance to have their say at the next Henley and Studley Community Forum meeting on Thursday 1 July at Henley High School starting at 7.30pm as one of the main items on the agenda.
Rob McCluskey, Locality Co-ordinator (Stratford) for Warwickshire County Council's Youth and Community Service, said: "It's really important for young people to have an input about services in the area and to feel part of their local community. It also provides an opportunity for them to showcase their work that they have been doing through positive activities."
There will also be a local policing update on the 3 priorities from the last meeting which are:
- Anti social behaviour
- Parking outside Tesco, Studley
- Foreshaw Heath
If you have a specific concern or problem, a local surgery takes place between 7pm half an hour before the Community forum meeting, where you can speak to your local policing Safer Neighbourhoods Team, Councillors and Officers from Warwickshire County and Stratford-on-Avon District Councils. Residents can also hear the latest on policing in their local area and officers from Warwickshire Police will feed back on issues raised at earlier surgeries.
Sergeant Bob Shaw, Team Leader for Alcester North Safer Neighbourhoods Team said: "The younger generation is a valued part of the Henley and Studley community so, in order to deal effectively with the local issues causing you concern, we need you to come along to forums and tell us what they are."
Community Forums are an interactive event enabling residents to learn about issues big and small affecting their area, get answers to questions and influence local decision-making. Anyone with a question about a local issue can go along and put it to officers from a range of organisations.
If you would like to suggest an issue for a future Community Forum meeting or get involved, please contact the WCC Stratford Area Office on 01789 260133 or email: stratfordoffice@warwickshire.gov.uk
Community Forums are part of a countywide initiative involving Warwickshire County Council, District and Borough Councils, NHS Warwickshire, Warwickshire Police and Warwickshire Together partners.
There are 30 forums across Warwickshire, which bring together elected representatives across all tiers of local government - County, District and Borough and Parish, together with a range of other community representatives.
