REGIONALISM TO LEAD THE AGENDA AT FORUM WEDNESDAY AT BEACH

Regionalism problems will head the agenda for the Wednesday evening session of the monthly town forum of Virginia Beach City Council member Louisa M. Strayhorn.

Citizens ``will finish up the last part of the solutions'' from earlier problem-solving sessions, Strayhorn said.

One problem identified earlier, for example, concerned regionalism.

A solution suggested in an earlier meeting was for city councils in South Hampton Roads to find ways of getting along better with each other.

In addition, some time will be set aside for citizens to bring up general problems they face.

Residents of Virginia Beach are invited.

The meeting, from 7 to 9 p.m., will be at Kempsville High School, 5194 Chief Trail.

People who have physical disabilities or hearing or visual impairments may contact the city clerk's office for assistance at 427-4305, voice or TDD. ILLUSTRATION: DETAILS
