As part of the Torfaen Exchange launch we are attempting to engage with all Torfaen residents on issues effecting community cohesion.

• Do you feel your neighbourhood has lost its community spirit? Why do you think this has happened?

• Do we all share the same values?

• Can difference bring us closer together?

This forum is the place to have your opinions heard, for the next week we will be looking at two element of community cohesion.
