Market Place

Prior to the formal meeting, a marketplace event was scheduled to run from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm. This provided an opportunity for residents to visit market stalls showcasing the work of council services and community groups, with the aim of recruiting support and distributing information. Food and drink were also to be served during this period.

Open Forum

The protocols for this session indicated that speakers would be allowed at the Chair's discretion, with limitations on the number of contributions per person.

Points raised during the open forum were intended to inform the work of the Area Forum.
