An interactive meeting is giving people in the Stratford area the opportunity to share their views on young peoples issues.

Residents can also listen to the latest on Safer Neighbourhood Policing from Warwickshire Police where officers will be giving feedback on issues raised earlier at their surgeries.

The meeting on Wednesday 1 July at 6pm at Holy Trinity Parish Centre, Old Town, Stratford is open to anyone living in Stratford-upon-Avon and the surrounding area.

Community forums are an interactive event enabling people to find out 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.

Cllr Clive Thomas, Stratford-upon-Avon Town Council and Chair of Stratford Community Forum, said: "I do recommend that people come along and take part. A mass of information has been given out at previous forum meetings and the community have had the opportunity to put their concerns straight to the service providers.  With any luck our next meeting will carry on in the same vein and I look forward to an excellent turnout for these interesting topics that concern us all.

The Safer Neighbourhood Team surgery will take place before the forum at 5pm until 6pm where people can raise any issues or concerns they may have in their local area.

For more information about this forum please contact Lizzie Price, Area Support Officer on 01789 290784 or go to www.warwickshire.gov.uk.

Community Forums are part of a countywide initiative involving Warwickshire County Council, District and Borough Councils, Warwickshire Primary Care Trust, 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.
