West Suffolk Area Forum
Welcome to this dedicated page designed to bring all the information together from our Area Forums for the West Suffolk District. Councillors, Clerks and Officers of member councils are welcome to attend these meetings in addition to your nominated SALC representative. There are up to four meetings per annum and bookings will require logging into the member portal.
Your representatives on the SALC Board:
Jane Steer, (CHAIR of West Suffolk area forum) Barrow-cum-Denham Parish Council
Maggie Dunn, (VICE-CHAIR of West Suffolk Forum) Great Barton Parish Council
Janet Davies, (VICE-CHAIR of West Suffolk Forum) Flempton cum Hengrave Parish Council
Wayne Bland, (VICE-CHAIR of West Suffolk Forum) Brandon Town Council
Our members tell us that the best 'takeaway' from our forums are the nuggets of information from other councils. This can range from showcasing successful projects to raising an issue your council is aware of and wants to discuss potential options.
Do you have something to share?
As part of the re-shape of our area forums we are offering the opportunity for your council to lead on an agenda item - a topic of your choosing.
To find out more BOOK A MEETING with our CEO for an informal chat using this link.
Next forum date: Super Forum, Tuesday 2nd June, 7 pm by Zoom.
Learn about the plans for the creation of unitary councils across Suffolk, the national picture and representations being made by NALC, the National Association of Local Councils and SALC initiatives to represent and support these major changes.
Headlines from meetings
We have moved away from producing formal Minutes for our Area Forums and instead will be publishing bullet point information including links and ideas discussed in the Zoom chat on this webpage.
