Getting involved in your neighbourhood

Neighbourhood Forums

Neighbourhood Forums are an important part of neighbourhood working in Derby. Every electoral ward in Derby has at least one neighbourhood forum. Neighbourhood forums are open public meetings for all local residents, community organisations and businesses. They are chaired by a local ward councillor and are held at a local venue every two or three months. The forum is your opportunity to find out what’s happening in your neighbourhood - the problems and the successes - and to discuss the big issues and priorities. You’ll have the chance to talk to your councillors, local police, housing, community safety and other providers of services and have a say about what your priorities are for your neighbourhood.

Neighbourhood Board

Your neighbourhood board is a leadership group for the neighbourhood. We realise that not everyone wants to get involved - many people just want to know what’s happening and where to go with a problem. However, some people want to get really involved in their neighbourhood as community leaders, working alongside their councillors and local services. Your neighbourhood board leads on behalf of the neighbourhood as a whole, agrees the priorities, decides where community grants are to be spent, monitors performance and decides on the vision for your neighbourhood. To become part of your Neighbourhood Board, you need to first attend your local forum.
