New Look Neighbourhood Forums
From 2010-11 onwards
Improving the Dover District Neighbourhood Forums (Forums) is a
continuous process. From July 2010, the
Forums changed to become more flexible and responsive to
local needs.
Changes to the Forums include:
- Holding two fixed forum meetings a year (instead of each
quarter) for each of the Forum areas
- The opportunity for each Forum area to hold a further two
flexible forum meetings a year and
- Participatory Budgeting - which aims to give communities a say
in recommending which projects should
receive funding.
Fixed Meetings
1. You Decide: Participatory Budgeting -
Community Voting Events
- The Neighbourhood Forums last met in October and
November 2011, for our "You decide"
Community Voting Events to make recommendation on awarding
the Small Community Capital Projects grant fund.
- Please see our Funding Information
pages for more information on the Small Community Capital Projects
grant fund and Participatory Budgeting.
2. Annual Partners Update
Events
- The Neighbourhood Forums met in April 2012, for our annual
partners update meeting. Representatives from partner agencies
such as Digital Switchover, Community Safety Partnership,
Olympics, Health and the Library service were available to
answer questions from the public.
Flexible Meetings
- The Forums will also be able to hold a further two meetings on
an “as and when” basis.
- By not tying them down to specific dates set a year in advance,
the Forums can deal with issues as they arise and be of more
interest to local communities.
- Please see the criteria for calling a flexible meeting in the
Protocol and Procedures for the Dover District Neighbourhood Forums
on our What's Hot in the district?
page.
