Minutes:
(The Chairman agreed to the addition of this item as a matter of urgency in order that information could be conveyed to the Forum before the next meeting.)
The Forum was advised that the Council were investigating ways to enhance community involvement in the democratic process, in the light of Democracy Year 2010 - 2011, and had established the Community Involvement in Local Democracy Task Group.
Members were informed of the terms of reference for the Task Group, what it intends to do and who it would consult with, together with co-ordinating the arrangements for Democracy Year. Members were invited to contact the Council should they wish to be involved or express the views of their respective parish council.
This was noted.
