Join your local Community Board to have your say on issues that affect your area, like environmental protection and economic recovery. Add your voice to your community and represent the issues you feel need attention.
What are Community Boards?
Community Boards are all about taking action together on local council and community issues, and have an allocated budget to fund local projects and initiatives.
All 16 Community Boards throughout the county are working hard to bring together the council, groups, organisations and local people to look at local issues and find ways of improving them together. Two of the key areas of focus for 2021/22 are economic recovery and improving the environment.
Community Boards aim to:
- represent the voice of local people
- capture thoughts, ideas and suggestions to address council and local priorities within the community
- bring together key community partners and residents
- identify local needs and work to produce creative solutions
