Join us at a Community Forum

Community Forums are back underway for 2024/25 with the first, held in September, focusing on planning.

The aim of these forums is to provide an opportunity for residents and stakeholders to come together and discuss issues of significance to communities in West Berkshire, and to ask questions with councillors and senior officers at in-person meetings. These forums are also hybrid meaning that residents can join from the comfort of their own homes. 

Since the forums have been re-established, we have already hosted three events. The first looking into bringing sports back to Faraday Road, the second looking into rural issues faced across the district and most recently focussing on the planning process. 

The latest forum hosted 45 residents in the room and around 90 residents online via YouTube Live and Zoom. Although there were a few technical issues at the start, the forum went off without any major issues and welcomed questions across the board from those in the room and online.
