49 people attended the meeting and discussed progress on the projects bought forward through the participatory budget process. A recommendation was accepted by the Forum to fund the following projects:

£5,000 has been allocated, but officers are working to see how this public money can best be spent through working in partnership with other gardening projects in Loughborough
Chapman Street Gardening Project;
(to bring about landscaping and other environmental improvements as part of the regeneration of the area). £2,000 has been ring-fenced for this newly formed group. Officers are working to see how public money can best be spent through partnership working with other gardening projects in Loughborough
