Herstmonceux Parish Community Forum (PDF, 212 Kb)
*New*
The amazing work that was achieved by members of the community for the delivery of the LCAV scheme during lockdown has inspired us to bring to life the idea of a Community Forum. The Parish Council are busy delivering the current neighbourhood plan policies plus additional new projects are emerging all the time. We would love even more members of the parish to become involved in seeking creative solutions to respond to local issues and improve facilities and services.
All are welcome and any help and input that be given will be gladly appreciated.
No experience necessary, just a passion for being involved in local communities initiatives pulling together to make a difference!
Please email the Clerk Clerk@herstmonceuxparish.org.uk if you have any questions, or just turn up on the day - Saturday 11th September, 10-12.00, Herstmonceux Village Hall
