Neighbourhood forums branded a ‘waste of time’ could be scrapped in Tameside after five years in operation, councillors have been told.
Currently there are four forums serving different areas of the borough, named the East, West, North and South Strategic Neighbourhood Forums.
They were established as a cost-saving measure in 2018 to replace nine former town councils in the borough which were branded ‘ineffective’, and which themselves had been created less than two years previously.
