Gilston Area Community Forum
We are establishing a Gilston Area Community Forum to bring together residents, local councillors, planners, developers and other interested parties to discuss and share information about development within the Gilston area.
In the future you will be able to register your interest in being included in the Community Forums, and to be notified automatically when updates are available.
Following the first Forum, we will share draft agendas online in advance. We will also share notes of Forums on the council’s web pages, highlighting the topics covered, and any actions or commitments made.
We will share reminders and more information nearer the time, but in the interim, please find a list of planned Gilston Area Community Forums for 2024 below.
All forums will be in person at the Manor of Groves Hotel, High Wych, Sawbridgeworth CM21 0JU, from 6.30-8.30pm
