Agenda item

To consider the report of the Communications & Community Engagement Officer. Appended to the report are the minutes of the Witney Forum held on 14 September 2021.

An update report on communications and community engagement activity was received and considered.

Members agreed with the suggestion for various coffee mornings and it was acknowledged that the timing of such events, particularly Councillor surgeries, may be dependent on ongoing discussions about future operation of the 1863 café bar.

It was suggested that contact details of community support groups, as shown in the notes appended to the report be made available to members for their information.

Resolved:

1.       That, approval to run community coffee mornings and in particular the Crafting Coffee morning in the 1863 café bar be agreed;

2.       That, the option of hosting Councillor surgeries/coffee mornings be supported in principle subject to consideration of the future operation model by the Corn Exchange Working Party.
