Recent Meetings
Coalville Community Forum Budgeting Workshop
Leicestershire County Council has made funds available to all 25 Community Forums in the county.
The Coalville Community Forum had £15k available per year for local communities to invest in local improvements of their choice.
How did local communities get involved?
Eleven local groups and organisations requested a share of the £15,000 allocated to the Coalville Community Forum area, with projects ranging from expansion and development of the Coalville Amateur Boxing Club and Bike ramp improvements in Greenhill to playground improvements and development of intergenerational relationship building.
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 Coalville Community Forum Budget Workshop, took place on 3rd 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.
