1 Overview
County Local Forums were established in September 2021 to provide residents with the opportunity to participate in discussions on issues specific to their area, as well as take part in question-and-answer sessions with their local County Councillors.
There are seven County Local Forums in West Sussex that will be trialled for one year. Following this, the County Council’s Governance Committee will evaluate the success of the forums and determine the best mechanism for county councillors to engage with their communities going forward.
