Information on meetings held to collect feedback from residents.
There is a page on the Town’s web site that lists all Public Meetings. Go here. Well, it's supposed to be all meetings but many are missing.
For meetings related to the 2025 Budget, go here.
Give up? Most "Public Meetings" are Planning and Development meetings anyway - see next section
Public Meetings - Planning and Development
Public Meetings for Planning and development are often listed on the "Development Dashboard" which can be accessed here.
But this is not always up to date.
Where available, notices of Public meetings for the Town are listed below

Town of Cobourg Public Meetings
Notice of Public Information Centre - 6 September, 2024
King Street West Reconstruction Burnham Street to William Street
The Town of Cobourg and Lakefront Utility Services Inc. have engaged CIMA Canada Inc. to complete the design of the reconstruction of King Street West from Burnham Street to William Street.
The focus of this project is to replace the watermain, sanitary sewer and storm sewer as well as replacing the concrete sidewalk, road curbs and asphalt pavement. Water and sanitary sewer services will be replaced to the property line and connected to existing service pipes. There is no cost to the homeowner for this work. The project will include minor repairs to the King Street West / Cobourg Creek bridge and the construction of a new re-aligned entrance to Wastewater Pollution Control Plant #1.
The project will also include the construction of a 2.5m wide concrete multi-use path on the south side of King Street West, replacing the existing 1.2m wide concrete sidewalk. This will provide an off-road travel area for both cyclists and pedestrians separated from vehicular traffic.
The purpose of this notice is to inform residents that there is an upcoming Public Information Centre (PIC) for this project. The PIC provides the opportunity to share information about the project, hear your concerns, and receive your feedback.
The design for the project is currently underway and construction is planned to start in spring of 2025, pending budget approvals.
The Public Information Meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 17, 2024, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the Cameco rooms at the Cobourg Community Centre (CCC) located at 750 D'Arcy Street. Preliminary drawings will be available for viewing and staff from the Town of Cobourg, Lakefront Utilities and CIMA Canada Inc. will be on hand to answer questions.
Please note the meeting presentation material will be uploaded on September 18, 2024 to the Plans, Reports and Studies page of the Town of Cobourg website.

Northumberland County Public Meetings
Welcome Intersection Feasibility Study
6 Sept. 2024 Northumberland County has released the Welcome Intersection Improvements Feasibility Study, which provides recommendations for operational and safety enhancements at the intersection of County Road 2, County Road 10, and County Road 74 (Dale Road) in the rural hamlet of Welcome. This intersection, located approximately 1.2 km north of Highway 401 in the Municipality of Port Hope, has a unique configuration that has contributed to traffic incidents and driver confusion.
The study evaluated various design alternatives, including converting the intersection to a four-way stop, constructing a roundabout, or maintaining the current three-way stop configuration with improvements. After detailed data collection, public consultation, and analysis, the study recommends reconstructing the three-way stop as the preferred option, enhancing safety and connectivity while minimizing the impact on private property and utilities.
Northumberland County will host a public information session on Wednesday, October 23 at the New Hope United Church from 6 p.m to 7:30 p.m., to provide residents and road users an opportunity to learn more about the results of the feasibility study and future intersection improvements. The session will include a presentation of the study's findings, a discussion of the planned 3-way stop intersection reconstruction, and an opportunity for attendees to ask questions.
Public Information Session Details:
Date: Wednesday, October 23, 2024
Time: 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm
Location: New Hope United Church, 4651 CR 2, Port Hope
No pre-registration is required.
