Pyrford Neighbourhood Forum

Since 2013, the Pyrford Neighbourhood Forum has given residents a voice in influencing the way our village grows and develops. The Forum completed a Neighbourhood Plan in 2017, giving the local community a process for influencing planning decisions with the local Planning Authority.

The Forum is now involved in a wide range of initiatives in the community, including heritage conservation, protecting our natural environment and supporting local projects.

We aim to facilitate a spirit of community that empowers people to work together to protect and enhance the beautiful area in which we live.
