Wider Stakeholder Forum
The coming of a single unitary council is going to make local forums and partnerships more important than ever. Whether we like it or not, they’re going to be critical in putting the case for our locality alongside your local councillors.
That being the case, it’s important that as many ordinary people as possible get involved. Don’t leave it to someone else or you’ll risk self-appointed cliques getting more influence than you’d like - get involved and play your part.
The Wider Stakeholder Forum describes itself as “a consultative/scrutiny group, membership of which is open to any organisation voluntary, community, public or private, who delivers services or operates within Derwentside or any member of the community who is a service user.”
The next meeting of the Wider Stakeholder Forum will be held on 9th October, starting at 4.00p.m. in Consett.
If you are interested in taking part it is very important that you contact Janie Pollard on 01207 218 271, giving your name, contact details, telephone number and an e-mail address (if you have one), so that details can be forwarded to you nearer the date.
It’s no good leaving it till the last minute. If you do, you’ll miss the boat.
have your say
