OPEN forum meetings in which county and district councils , and other agencies, tackle local issues and concerns are to meet about four times a year.

Harlow is in the west forum, with Epping Forest, Brentwood and Uttlesford.

There are three other forums in the county.

The groups will meet in public to discuss local items of concern, review and scrutinise local health service matters and recommend action to county council cabinet members.
