Task groups

Community committee meetings are the main forum for the community to discuss issues relevant to the area. In addition to these meetings, a number of task group meetings also take place on a regular basis. They bring together community representatives, officers, and councillors to discuss particular themes or issues in more detail. These groups report back to community committee.

For more information about any of these groups, and how you can get involved, please contact your neighbourhood team.
