The London Road Community Forum (LRCF) gives you the chance to speak up about what's happening on your doorstep. Degeneration, crime, planning developments and policing are all hot topics, which affect peoples lives.

If you've got something to say about somewhere within the LRCF area then come along to our meetings because the forum is a great way to get your voice heard and to make a difference to your local area.

Within this website you will find lots of information about this often neglected area of the Town and Port of Dover. The London Road Community Forum is about bringing businesses and residents together to create a clean and vibrant area in which to live, work and play.

If you live in the area bounded by London Road, Buckland Avenue, Barton Road, Frith Road, Maison Dieu Road, Park Street, Park Place, Ladywell, the High Street and all the roads between them, then you are a part of the London Road Community Forum.

You'll be amazed at what can happen when people speak up. Since 2003 the LRCF have succeeded in many achievements. These include Halloween parties, Christmas light competitions, river clean ups and neighbourhood days. This year our efforts have largely been concentrated on the numerous empty and dilapidated shops that the London Road hold. Our persistence is finally being paid off after a grant was awarded to us by Dover District Council to start a clean up of the worst affected shops.

The role of the forum is to express the views of all sections of the community on issues affecting us. It does this by liaising with the Council and other agencies, supporting local projects and community events.

The Committee is made of 10 individuals, some residents and some Councillors, who come together every 6 weeks to address common and complex issues to improve the quality of life in our area. The Committee members are listed on the "Contact Us" page. The meetings are informal and we welcome members of the public, representatives of organisations, local Councillors and guest speakers.
