Come to the forum

The forum meets in public session at Manor Barn at 6.30pm.

Time is set aside at the start of every forum for members of the public to address the meeting on local issues

Communications officer Sally Ann Lycett in a report for the meeting says the De La Warr Pavilion continues to welcome around 50,000 visitors a month.

An evaluation of audiences between February and April showed that 65% came from the two local postcode areas, 10% from London and 15% from other parts of the UK with 2% coming from aboard.

"This indicates that the pavilion is fast becoming a valuable regional resource, attracting people from all over the area.

"With free events every day during the summer, the pavilion has attracted a range of people of all ages. Friday night music in the bar was particularly popular and we hope to continue this outside the summer season.

"National media coverage continues with a report on BBC Country File, BBC Inside Out, BBC Radio 4 and spreads on the Jeremy Deller exhibition in The Times and The Sunday Telegraph."

The forum is due to receive a report on the activities of Bexhill Youth Council, on economic inclusion and the Hastings and Bexhill Economic Alliance, on the services and projects offered by East Sussex Disability Association, on Bexhill Against Landfill/Incineration's fund-raising plans and on the quest for Fairtrade status for Bexhill.
