For ease and to keep our name consistent online, we have changed the website URL to whitburnforum.co.uk. We have also changed our email address to whitburnforum@gmail.com. You can still use the old addresses (whitburnnf) for now, because they will automatically be forwarded to the new ones.
We have also changed the look by adding some beautiful pictures of Whitburn taken by John Short to the header. We have uploaded all our newsletters to the documents page in case anyone did not receive them in the past, or if anyone would like to read them again. Let us know your thoughts on the new website. Is there anything that our website is missing that we should add?

After our successful workshop last week, we have put together all your comments on how you envision the future of the Whitburn Lodge. We are now asking you to vote on three different options for the site to take forward to the council and the owners, in order to see if we can develop a neighbourhood development order. Go to this page for further explanation.
The Forum has put together feedback from consultation events and the evidence we have gathered on various topics to write a first draft of policies for the neighbourhood plan. These policies will become the rules any future development will have to follow once the neighbourhood plan is in place. Work is still ongoing, but please do get in touch with your comments. You can read the draft policies here.
Our latest Visions & Objectives for Whitburn Village is now available to view on our google drive. The links to each of the four pages can be found on the "Minutes & Documents" section of this website.
Note that this is a mandatory element of the Neighbourhood Planning process and any feedback would be greatly appreciated. The next forum meeting will be held at 7:15pm, upstairs in the Barnes Institute on the 9th of March 2018.
One special guest for this meeting is one of the Whitburn Lodge Owners ! We look forward to seeing you all there. The WNF is holding two workshops to discuss the main themes from the recent public consultation. The first is on Saturday the 11th of November at 10am in the Barnes Institute. The second is on Friday the 17th of November at 7pm in the Barnes Institute.
Volunteers are needed. Please get in touch if you would like to support. Good Evening WNF

There is now a downloads page (Top right of the screen) which contains links to the minutes library and any important documents that we are allowed to upload. At the last forum meeting, one of the speakers was Rory Thomson. He is searching for volunteers who would like to be involved in campaigning alongside himself to try and save our local library and as such has requested that the forum help if possible.
Therefore, if any member of the forum wishes to join Rory in campaigning to save our Library then please use the contact information below which Rory has gave his permission for us to distribute as a contact method for any volunteers. His contact details are: Rory Thomson rorz86@hotmail.com Regards, and thank you to anyone who supports him. Matt Hammond - WNF Secretary Welcome to the website of the Whitburn Neighbourhood Forum! Please bear with us as we complete work on this website.
