Wigston Residents' Forum

The Wigston Residents' Forum is part of Oadby and Wigston Borough Council's governance to ensure robust engagement with local people on council decisions. It allows residents to scrutinise and hold the council to account, acting as a conduit for community views. The forum gathers information, offers advice on new projects requiring community input, and highlights areas of concern.

Decisions made by the forum are advisory only and not binding on the council. Membership is open to residents, local groups, and businesses within the area, aiming for broad participation. Meetings are chaired by an elected member and involve informal discussions, with votes determined by a simple majority of members present.
