Local
Area Forum
Local
Area Forums (LAFs), give you the chance to hear about what is happening
on your doorstep. The
condition
of roads, footways, parking, health, policing and schools are all
topics which affect people's lives.
If
you have something to say or want to know what is going on in your
area, LAFs are a way to get your
voice
heard.
The
LAF can influence decisions about how money is spent locally, how
to target services better for local people, what to prioritise in
your area and has some funding available to help meet those priorities.
The
LAF meeting is held in public and members of the public are welcome
to attend. Forums are held in local venues like schools, community
centres or church halls. The meetings are held on weekday evenings
and run for about two hours.
The
Local Area Forum (LAF) is a multi agency forum that is made up of
elected members from Wexham Parish Council, Iver Parish Council,
South Bucks District Council and Buckinghamshire County Council.
The LAF is aimed to be a vehicle to drive a collaborative and localised
way of working. The LAF meets three to four times a year, each meeting
has a dedicated Public Questions slot where members of the public
are invited to attend, if you would like to attend the LAF meetings,
the times and venues of the meetings are listed at the link below:
