St Michaels Ward Forum
Ward Forums are a way of taking a closer look at the places where we live and making life in our neighbourhoods better together.
They are an important way for local people to get involved and get things done on their doorstep and are organised by the council to enable the public to stake a claim for changes to happen locally.
The forums meet regularly starting between 6.00pm and 7.00pm in local venues and are led by one of the three councillors who represent each of the 18 wards on Coventry City Council.
The forums also include other people who care about local neighbourhoods - council staff, police, community and voluntary groups - and that's why we want people like you, people who can talk about life on your doorstep and the things that matter most to your community.
