Recent Meetings
Blaby South Community Forum Budgeting Workshop
Leicestershire County Council has made funds available to all 25 Community Forums in the county.
The Blaby South Community Forum had £10k available per year for local communities to invest in local improvements of their choice.
How did local communities get involved?
Nine local groups and organisations requested a share of the £10,000 allocated to the Blaby South Community Forum area, with projects ranging from a Toy Library to the introduction of a Well Family Clinic and mobile youth service provision. By sending in project proposal forms prior to the workshop, other local residents and organisations were able to view & comment on submitted Project Proposals via the website, and make suggestions on how the projects could be further improved or developed.
The Blaby South Community Forum Budget Workshop, took place on 23rd November, where projects were discussed in detail, and all present were able to vote on their favourite projects.
For further information on the results, please see below.
