Introduction

The Gravity Local Community Forum is a platform for delivery partners involved in the development of the Gravity site to engage and communicate with local community representatives and stakeholders and to facilitate feedback during the delivery of the site.

Its purpose is to nurture and grow engagement with the community while building on learning and experience gained during the preparation of the Gravity Local Development Order (LDO), as well as the programme of engagement events which have been and will continue to be undertaken by This is Gravity Limited and Agratas.

The Forum will, over time, integrate future delivery partners and occupiers to facilitate ongoing information sharing, understanding and engagement with the local community, Member representatives and stakeholders.

The Forum is a non decision-making group and seeks to complement the specific community engagement activity being undertaken by delivery partners. The feedback and issues raised by the local communities will help the Council in its decision-making processes to ensure that the development of the Gravity Enterprise Zone delivers outcomes for the benefit of local residents and communities, and that any negative impacts are minimised and mitigated where possible.

More information regarding the Gravity Local Community Forum and who attends it is detailed in the Gravity Enterprise Zone Local Community Forum Terms of Reference.

Meetings and events

Local Community Forum meetings are being held quarterly. Minutes and actions from the meetings are published below. Questions and issues relating to the delivery of the Gravity site can be raised by contacting the relevant Parish Council representative or by emailing enterprise.zone@somerset.gov.uk and will be addressed by the delivery partners at the earliest appropriate forum.

Details of public drop-in or online sessions or public consultation events will also be published on this page once agreed by delivery partners.
