Dear All,

A belated but Happy and Peaceful New Year to One and All.

Little Thurrock Community Forum is an independent non political voluntary group made up of representatives from the local community including residents, Councillors, Local Authority Representatives, schools, local businesses, voluntary, community and faith groups.

Little Thurrock Forum looks to influence the  decision making process affecting the Ward of Little Thurrock Rectory (including Thurrock Park pre June 2004 boundary), Borough wide decisions and Regional and National policy decisions.

We are allocated an annual Administration (currently £800) budget from Thurrock Council and we can apply for funding from other sources.  We use this money to improve or create local projects to benefit the local Community..  By attending the forum meetings you can have a say in what projects the Forum undertakes and how this money is spent.

The Management Committee of Little Thurrock Forum, NGAGE and the Chairs of the other local Community Forums aim to keep the Community Forum project going and will be looking for alternative funding streams

Wishing you a Good Day

Vincent Offord

Vice Chair

 Meetings are also regularly attended by local councillors, the police and other agencies, this is a two way conversation, local people can raise issues and concerns and the agencies can involve forums in consultation and information sharing.
