Chance for community updates

Residents from across South Derbyshire have the chance to get updates about activities and initiatives in their communities at a series of upcoming Area Forum meetings.

Involving the police, district council, and South Derbyshire Community Voluntary Support (CVS), the forums take place in a variety of community venues and provide an opportunity to ask questions and take part in discussions.

They’re a great way to bring people together, sparking ideas, prompting conversations, and providing a friendly environment in which to raise concerns that are affecting particular areas.

Area Forum meetings all start at 6.30pm. Residents are welcome to turn up without any need to book.
