West Suffolk Area Forum
Welcome to this dedicated page designed to bring all the information together from our Area Forums for the West Suffolk District. Councillors, Clerks and Officers of member councils are welcome to attend these meetings in addition to your nominated SALC representative. There are up to four meetings per annum and bookings will require logging into the member portal.
Your representatives on the SALC Board:
Jane Steer, (CHAIR) Barrow-cum-Denham Parish Council
Maggie Dunn, (VICE-CHAIR) Great Barton Parish Council
Janet Davies, (VICE-CHAIR) Flempton cum Hengrave Parish Council
Wayne Bland, (VICE-CHAIR) Brandon Town Council
Our members tell us that the best 'takeaway' from our forums are the nuggets of information from other councils. This can range from showcasing successful projects to raising an issue your council is aware of and wants to discuss potential options.
Do you have something to share?
As part of the re-shape of our area forums we are offering the opportunity for your council to lead on an agenda item - a topic of your choosing.
