Willesborough
Willesborough Community Forum is an open forum set up to
represent the views of people living and working in Willesborough
and to help communicate those views to Ashford Borough Council and
other statutory organisations.
Willesborough Community Forum is an independent voluntary group
with its own constitution.
Willesborough Community Forum is led by a Steering Group
comprising the Chair, Treasurer, Secretary, the five Ward
Councilors, and six other members. The forum is also supported by
an officer from Ashford Borough Council.
Our Meetings
Anybody living or working in the Willesborough Community Forum
Area can attend any of the meetings or become involved in the
Forum. The Forum is always looking for people to join them, and is
happy to see new people at their meetings.
The Forum Steering Group usually meets four times a year at
Hythe Road Baptist Church at 7.30pm. The next Steering Group
meeting is on Wednesday 25 April 2012.
In addition they hold four Open Meetings a year on a range of
topics of interest to the residents of Willesborough, with relevant
speakers. The next Open Meeting is taking place at the
Hythe Road Baptist Church at 7.30pm on Wednesday 28
March 12. The speakers at this meeting will be Cllr Aline
Hicks who will give a presentation on localism.
Immediatley prior to the meeting, from 6.45pm, local ward
members will be holding a 'councillors clinic' to
respond to individual queries from residents.
The Forum holds an Annual General Meeting where officers of the
Steering Group are appointed and any changes to the constitution
can be made.
If you have any local issues that you have been unable to
resolve, they can help you speak to the right person.
Any person living or working within the Willesborough Community
Forum area can report observations to the Willesborough Community
Forum Steering Group.
These observation may be concerns, complaints, suggestions or
praise on any aspect to do with the general well being of the
Willesborough Community Forum area. Email philippa.dale@ashford.gov.uk
to receive observation forms.
Current Project
The Forum has received funding to trial an Incident Reporting
system in identified areas of Willesborough by issuing incident
report questionnaires which residents can complete if they
experience any problems or anti-social behavior. This does not
replace police or council responsibility, but will help the Forum
build a picture of problem areas. If you would like to see the
Incident Report it can be downloaded here.
