Attend a community meeting
We hold in person meetings called ‘Your voice…’ which provide an opportunity for you to share your views, ideas, and concerns directly with those who make decisions.
Meetings are held 4 times a year for each area they cover.
Complete this short form to suggest a topic for a future discussion. You can also send us your questions or request a presentation on a specific subject.
When and where
You can find the dates and locations for upcoming meetings on our Eventbrite page.
It is not essential to book a place to attend a meeting, you can just drop in. But if you register via Eventbrite you will receive a reminder email 2 days before.

What to expect
These meetings are about listening to the community and understanding what matters to you.
They create an informal space for conversations between communities, the council, and other key partners such as town and parish councils, Avon Fire and Rescue Service, Avon and Somerset Police and local voluntary and community groups.
You will have the chance to speak directly with your elected councillors, council officers and representatives from key partner organisations to share insights, information and collectively seek to meet community aspirations.
The meetings are approximately 2 hours long, split into the following 3 sessions. You can attend all 3 sessions, or just the parts that are of most interest to you.
- Marketplace (30 minutes) – visit information stands to talk to council teams and other partners or voluntary organisations.
- Roundtable discussions (45 minutes) – a workshop to discuss a local challenge and explore joint solutions.
- Community talks (45 minutes) – a presentation from a council team or partner organisation to share and discuss information about local issues.
