Use this page to learn about the Bathavon Area Forum.
Area Forums bring together residents, ward and parish councillors, community organisations and public services to discuss local issues and help address concerns.
By working together, we can build a shared understanding and respond to the issues that matter most to local people.

Meetings are open to everyone and take place either in person or online. The forum usually meets 4 times a year.
