Community Forums are interactive meetings that give people in Warwickshire the Opportunity to share their views throughout the year. There are 30 forums across Warwickshire which bring together elected representatives across all tiers of local government - County, District, and Parish, together with a range of other community representatives.
In the Warwick Area District, residents will be able to hear the latest news on local services from Warwickshire County Council, Warwick District Council, Warwickshire Police, as well as ask any questions they might have about these and other services, as the community forums. The forums also give residents the chance to influence local decision-making.
Anyone with a question about a local issue can go along and put it to their local councillors and to officers from a range of organisations.
There are 7 community forums in Warwick District. This web page will link you to dates, venues, newsletters, minutes and priorities relating to each of the forums.

Warwick District Community Forum Grant Fund
Warwick District and Warwickshire County Council have provided a pot of money that each community forum in Warwick District can distribute to local groups and individuals. Each forum has £15,714 to spend on areas of work that support the priorities identified by community forums. Forum priorities can be found in the minutes of the meetings or by contacting the Community Partnership Team on cpt@warwickdc.gov.uk
