· The C2 area includes Balby, Hexthorpe, Hyde Park, the Town Centre, Belle Vue and Town Field .
· The forum concept was introduced in 2001 with the aim of involving as many people as possible in the Council’s and its partners decision-making processes. During the meetings the public are encouraged to have their say about local issues that effect their lives and voice their concerns and problems.
· Each forum is managed by people from the local community who have expressed an interest. In this way local people will be involved in how the forums develop and decide such things as how meetings are organised and who chairs them.
