Topics of discussion will include welcome spaces and community initiatives, as well as the cost of living and flood prevention.

West Berkshire's executive member for public safety and community engagement, Justin Pemberton, said: "This community forum offers important discussion and information for residents as we head into the winter months.

"It’s an opportunity to prepare for any challenges and to find out about the support available to assist them."

People attending will also have the chance to learn about current resilience plans, available support, and community initiatives.

Questions can be sent in by midday on November 15 and will be answered during the forum. Those wanting to attend, either virtually or in person, are required to email the community forum to register.

The event will take place at Hungerford Town Hall, but people can also attend online via Zoom, with a link to be sent at a closer date
