ensuring delivery, monitoring progress and reviewing performance of the Community Plan and Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy.
ensuring that priorities and actions remain in touch with the concerns of communities and the general public.

The Forum Executives membership is drawn from the key agencies and organisations responsible for the regeneration of the Borough. They include Barnsley Council, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Primary Care Trust, Barnsley College, the Community and Voluntary sectors and South Yorkshire Police.
