Use this page to learn about the Somer Valley Area Forum.
Area Forum meetings are part of the Connecting Communities programme bringing together residents, Ward and Parish Councillors, community organisations and public services to discuss topics of interest and help address areas of concern. We can develop a shared understanding and deal with many challenges together by talking through the topics that matter most to local people and working collaboratively.
Take part in Area Forums
Meetings are open to all and are held either in person or online.
