The minutes from October’s meeting are available here. These cover the now-open Aldi, the triangle site opposite (that will be maintained by Aldi), as well as discussions around houses of multiple occupation (HMOs), police and planning updates.

Please note the November meeting was an Annual General Meeting and these minutes are ratified at the next AGM in 2023.

The next Stirchley Forum meeting takes place on Monday 12th December, 7.30pm at the Stirchley Community Church on Hazelwell Street.

2022/2023 committee announced

  • Vice Chair – Sandra Cooper

Stirchley Forum AGM 2022

The Stirchley Forum annual general meeting for 2022 will take place this month, as residents are set to elect the committee for 2022-23.

The meeting will take place in person at Stirchley Community Church on Monday 14th November from 7.30pm. As well as the election for the 2022-23 committee, there will be a review of the year and accounts for 2021-22, as well as approving last year’s AGM minutes.

After much thought the Forum Committee has decided that the next meeting on 14th November (our AGM) will be held in person only. They do not have the technical support to hold a true hybrid meeting (indeed the meeting will be in the small room where previously held meetings were, so no microphones will be required).

If you wish to join the Committee you will need to complete a nomination form and return it to the Forum (through the Library or Stirchley Community Church) before 7.25 on 14th November. Forms are available at the Library or by email from the Forum.

The meeting will also include the world premiere of the short film ‘Discovering Stirchley’ made by local young people.

Forum AGM Monday 14th November 2022

No August meeting

As tradition, there will be no August meeting for the Stirchley Neighbourhood Forum as we’ve typically found people tend to be away or unavailable.

The minutes for July’s meetings are available here.

The Forum will return on Monday 12th September, from 7.30pm. At this stage it is intended to be a hybrid online or in person meeting, however things may change between then and now.
