The Carmarthenshire Partnership Forum
Background
The Carmarthenshire Forum is the county’s overarching strategic partnership for Community Planning. The Forum meets on an annual basis and is open to all.
It was set up to promote the widest engagement of the people and communities of Carmarthenshire in decisions about the future of the county. The Forum is responsible for agreeing the Carmarthenshire Community Strategy and monitoring its progress. It does this by monitoring and overseeing the work of the five strategic community planning partnerships (and other forums and networks), responsible for delivering the countywide priorities agreed by the Forum.
