The terms of reference of the Forum shall be
to provide an opportunity for discussion between representatives of
the Borough and Parish Councils on matters of common and general
interest.
Certain matters, such as discussion of
specific planning applications or licensing matters, will
necessarily be excluded (but this does not precluded discussion of
the Borough Council’s general policies or procedures relating
to such matters).
It shall be the Chairman or other person
presiding at the Forum to determine whether a matter is appropriate
for discussion by the Forum, having regard to advice from the
Democratic Services Officer in attendance.
