Aims & Objectives
What is the role of Stanford Forum?
The Stanford Forum is the Council recognised Forum for the area. It has access to nearly £10,000 to be spent on local projects or groups. It will raise local issues at the highest level within the Council and at the same time ensure that if decisions taken elsewhere in the Borough have an effect on Stanford le Hope we are consulted on them.
Representatives of the Forums have places on the Community Involvement Board (CIB), the Local Strategic Partnership (LSP), Safer Thurrock Partnership, Sustainable Communities Board, The Healthier Communities Executive, and The Children and Young People's Strategic Partnership. Thurrock Association of Forums (TAF)
