Benefits of area forums

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. 

Could you be a West Suffolk representative and take a place on the SALC Board?  We are looking for councillors or clerks to join Maggie and Jane as there are two vacancies available on the SALC Board. To find out more about the role use this link.  To discuss the role please contact Sally Longmate on ceo@salc.org.uk.
