Joint Forum of Community Councils in West Lothian
The Joint Forum is creating a register of Community Councillors in each of our four single issue sub forums to improve focus and communication of our activities. We want to encourage Community Councils to be represented on each of these important forums, if you are not already represented. There is no limit to the number of your Community Councillors attending a forum, or if they want to attend more than one, but we would be delighted if there was at least one rep from every Community Council on each forum. The Planning Forum rep would normally be your current Planning Officer but it’s entirely at your discretion.
The Joint Forum has now been recognised as the umbrella group for Community Councils in West Lothian. This means that the Joint Forum can have one representative on each PDSP. If there are any of your Community Councillors that have a particular interest and would like to be considered as the Joint Forum representative on a PDSP they can be nominated. If there is more than one nomination from Community Councils for each place we will get in touch to have a vote. This is optional only. The chosen representative will be expected to give feedback to the Joint Forum from each PDSP meeting but will receive training before attending meetings.
If you could please fill in the online form asap it would be much appreciated. The Community Councillors that have already volunteered for the forums at the last Joint Forum Conference are listed below for your information.
