The last meeting of the Belvoir Community Forum was held at Long Clawson Village Hall.

More than 50 members of the community attended this special, workshop-style, meeting and discussed their ideas about how they think the Forum budget of £20,000 can best be used to improve the local area within the following priorities;
Improving opportunities for children and young people
Improving access to services
Creating a safer environment

There were a number of lively and interesting discussions around the workshop tables and the project ideas, and the proportion of votes they attracted, can be found by clicking on the links below.
