Join the Community Conversation and have your say about where you live

If you have something to say about where you live, come along to the latest round of Community Conversations kicking off next month.

These events are a chance for ward councillors to hear what matters most to residents and businesses and share ideas about the future of local areas.

Councillor Nancy Baldwin, Spokesperson for Communities, Equalities and the Voluntary Sector, said: “I am pleased to announce the 2025 round of Community Conversations. These gatherings are a fantastic opportunity for us to come together, share our ideas, and work collaboratively to shape the future of our communities. I encourage everyone to be a part of the conversation, whether that is online or in person, and share their views with their ward councillors.”

The Community Conversations will be held as hybrid events, with residents able to join in person or watch an online stream of the event and submit questions via a digital platform. Attendance is free, but registration is essential. Instructions for joining online will be sent in advance of the event via email.

If you are attending in person, you will be able to meet your councillors and view information stalls between 6.30 and 7pm. From 7 to 9pm a Q&A will take place for those attending in person and online.
