BANES Council ‘s Community Engagement Team (CET) holds periodic meetings to try to engage face to face with local communities. Information about these meetings – called Community Engagement Forums – is published here:

We are in the Bathavon Area Forum.

Prior to COVID, these meetings had drifted to a point where they were mainly attended by parish councillors. That wasn’t the intent, as the meetings duplicated a lot of stuff that was being done at other BANES meetings held specifically for parish councillors!

Post COVID, the BANES CET has made a real effort to get these meetings back to what they should be: meetings of interest to BANES residents – particularly residents running local organisations, clubs and businesses.

It should be an opportunity to hear directly from, or flag up directly to, the BANES Team those things that are causing problems today or might help or hinder your future plans.

The next Bathavon Area Forum meeting will be on Wednesday 25 June from 6.00pm at Camerton Community Hall, Meadgate. Do plan to drop in if this opportunity sounds of interest.
