Brimrod, Marland and Sudden Area Forum
Brimrod, Marland and Sudden Area Forum is a new forum which
was developed in response to residents and Councillors demand in
2005. It currently meets quarterly at Brimrod Methodist Church. It
is a public meeting attended by residents and local organisations.
Representatives from the Police, RoFTRA and the Council are in
attendance to respond to concerns raised. Your local Councillors
are also present.
You don't have to be involved in a group to come along - just a
resident of Brimrod, Marland and Sudden area, who wants to know
what's happening in your area and is interested in how we can
improve your services and surroundings.
What the forum does
- Receives reports from the Council on what is planned in the
area such as road works and environmental works.
- Hears updates from the Police and other agencies on what they
are targeting in the area such as youth nuisance,
vandalism, under age drinking.
- Develop projects including looking at a new playgrounds.
- Has presentations on topical issues such as Sudden Roundabouts
the change to traffic light system.
- Residents raise issues on problems in their area such
as youth nuisance; pot holes in the road; parking issues,
litter and flytipping. (It may take time but we will make every
effort to tackle your problems).
So don't just complain about your area to your friends. Why not
come along to the meeting and share your issues with us all - you
never know there may be an answer!
All minutes from the forums are reported to the Township
Committee meetings. The area forums are considered to be a way of
taking the process of local involvement to a very local level, and
are seen as an informal extension of the Township Committee
meetings. Issues raised at the forums can therefore be raised again
at the Township Committee if needed.
