The last meeting of Quorn, Barrow, Sileby and the Wolds area forum was held at Walton on the Wolds Village Hall.

Members of the community attended a workshop and shared their ideas about how they thought the Forum budget of £20,000 can best be used within the following priorities;

Improving access to services and facilities,
Improving health and well-being,
Creating greener, cleaner, safer living environments.

There were a number of lively and interesting discussions around the workshop. The original list of short-listed projects, and the number of votes these attracted, can be found by clicking on the link below.
After that initial vote, all local residents used "voting handsets" to choose their preferred options from those project ideas that were taken forward to the final vote. Full details of the final vote can be found by clicking on the second link below. The four most favoured ideas were the Barrow Teenage project, Sileby young people's bus, Narrow boat access project and the Sileby, Barrow and Wymeswold noticeboards.

Most people seemed to have enjoyed the meeting and are looking forward to following the the progress of the project ideas. Mrs Thompson, from Sileby, said that she had really enjoyed the discussions with other residents and now appreciated that residents from other towns and villages in the Forum area had common issues and concerns.
