More than fifty local people attended a recent Town Forum event at Pierremont Hall in order to meet the new Councillors and discuss plans for the next four years.
Town Mayor, Cllr Kristian Bright gave a short presentation on the goals and aspirations of the Council centred around the Cleaner, Safer, Kinder vision the Council is developing.
Representatives from more than thirty local groups ranging from the Town Team and Access Thanet to The Gap Project and The Pavilion Youth and Community Cafe came together to discuss issues which were important to them and to discuss ways of working together to achieve common goals.
Cllr Bright explained, “We were delighted to welcome so many interested local people to Pierremont Hall and to join them in lively discussion on matters which concern us all. All the comments have been collated and officers are now working on a draft plan for implementation. The Action Plan will be discussed and approved by Council and will form the backbone of everything we do over the next four years.”
The next Town Forum will take place on Monday 16 October and representatives form any local group or organisation are invited. In the meantime residents are reminded that all of the Council’s meetings are open to the public. Details can be found on the Town Council’s website: www.broadstairs.gov.uk
