The Task Force was formed in July 1994 as a forum for encouraging partnership between all interested organisations in the town. It has evolved into a successful networking tool for all of the organisations that attend. These range from charitable bodies, such as the Lions, Round Table and Royal Bath and West Society, to the Police, Schools and Chamber of Commerce. The Town Council, District and County Councils all play a major role. The task force's most important role is to bring people together.
Communication is the key, whatever form it takes.
The task force has a number of teams that operate under its aegis. Other teams are involved with a focus on civic pride, community safety, tourism, marketing the town and the Website. The task force is apolitical and tries hard not to be a talking shop. It also tries hard not to be a forum to which a member of the community brings a specific problem. The task force has no money, but, does have an input into the town centre action plan each year.
