One of our aims as a group is to provide a public forum for people to raise problems as well as to be informed about aspects affecting life in the town. We will typically hold a public meeting on the third Monday of the month, and not to have meetings in August (school holidays) or December (Christmas holidays). This then makes 10 meetings per year.

• Topic : These meetings will usually have invited speakers on topics that are of interest to development of the district; where we do not have an invited speaker we will go through our current campaigning strategies. Our public meetings are open to all residents of Whitby and District. Anybody can ask questions of speakers in our meetings; a crucial part of openness.
• Media : We also aim for our public meetings to be open for the media to cover, and we permit the recording of meetings; the recording must follow this procedure (linked).
• Venue : The meetings were initially all held in Whitby Coliseum but we are now starting to hold them in other locations, including looking at holding them around the District; see the agenda.
• Agenda : We aim to publish the agenda at least a week in advance of a meeting, and notes from the meeting within a week or so of the meeting dependent on our availability.
