What interested me at the last meeting was the number of politicians and officials against the number of members of the public. According to the minutes this was 37 to 7 members of the public. Is it worth the expense so 7 members of the public can have their say?
From the minutes the attendance was:

That's really depressing.
The police forums seemed to work ok - a bit tedious maybe - so why change them?
And 37 councillors, officers and police officers actually sounds quite intimidating. Many people are suspicious or wary of authority figures, having so many in one place can be counter productive and discourage people from giving their views.
