Major Overhaul for Local Area Forums
Isleworth and Brentford will now be split between two meetings
A previous area forum meeting
June 30, 2023
There has been a reorganisation of the structure of local Area Forums which will see a split of coverage for the Brentford and Isleworth areas.
The Area Forums are public meetings attended by ward councillors and council officers which include presentations on matters of local interest.
The Isleworth and Brentford Area Forum is being scrapped to be replaced by the Brentford and Syon Area Forum (B&SAF) and the Hounslow South, Isleworth and Osterley & Spring Grove Area Forum (HSIOSGAF).
HSIOSGAF is due to meet on Thursday 6 July in the Endeavour Theatre, West Thames College, with the marketplace starting at 6:30pm with free refreshments and the formal part of the meeting at 7:30pm. The marketplace will have stalls, where residents can speak with Council officers about individual issues, meet and speak to their ward Councillors and hear about local community groups and initiatives.
There will be a host of local groups attending including The Conservation Volunteers, Environment Agency, Thames Landscape Strategy, Chiswick Pier Trust, Hounslow Borough Respiratory Support Group, RNIB Hounslow ECLOs, and Creative Spaces.
Council teams from Climate Emergency and Environmental Strategy, Elections, Fostering, Thriving Communities Funding, will also be there.
The agenda items are: Local Policing and Community Safety update, Thriving Communities Fund, Friends of the River Crane, LBH presenting the Masterplans and SPDs, Environment Agency – Flood Warden Volunteers and Thames Landscape Strategy.
It will be chaired by Cllr Tony Louki and you can access the agenda here.
The meeting is free to attend and all are welcome. Registration is not required but it helps the organisers plan for numbers.
The date of the next scheduled HSIOSGAF meeting is Monday 25 September 2023.
The B&SAF meets at Brentford Free Church on Wednesday 19 July and the agenda is yet to be confirmed.
