Listening to your views is essential to the Council providing better services. One of the ways we listen to residents is by holding public meetings, known as Community Action Team (CAT) meetings. The meetings are a great way to keep up to date with what is going on in your local area.
Come and be part of the drive to tackle drug use, rough sleeping and anti-social behaviour in the Solent Room at Ferneham Hall on Tuesday 15 October from 6pm -7.30pm. There will also be an exhibition area.
For more details please contact consultation@fareham.gov.uk or call 01329 824409.
Many CAT meetings take place when there is a local 'hot topic' that is of interest to residents taking place at a crunch time. If you have an issue or any questions about the CAT meetings please contact email consultation@fareham.gov.uk or telephone the consultation team on 01329 824409.
