Brentford and Syon Area Forum Set for Second Meeting
Presentations on health services and community hubs on the agenda
A previous area forum meeting
September 29, 2023
The second meeting of the Brentford and Syon Area Forum is taking place on Monday 2 October at 7.30pm.
It is being held at Brentford Free Church, Boston Manor Road, Brentford (TW8 8DW).
For an hour prior to the meeting there will be an informal networking event which will include marketplace style 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. The local police team, who will not be addressing the main meeting, will be on hand to answer any questions. Light refreshments will be available during this section of the meeting. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Agenda items for the formal meeting include a summary of feedback from earlier ‘breakout sessions’ held during the previous Area Forum in July on Lime Bikes and the format of future area forums.
This will be followed by an update on health services focusing on access and provision for residents. There will be presentations from Dominic Conlin, Hospital Director, West Middlesex Hospital and Mark Jarvis, Assistant Director, Primary Care, Integration & Delivery, Hounslow Team.
Matthew Mather and Mohammed Ahmed will be giving a presentation about the Community and Family Hubs which are due to launch in Brentford in 2024. A discussion following the presentation will cover what residents want the Hubs to contain, look like and feel like.
There will then be an Open Forum which is an opportunity for members of the public to address the meeting on general issues relating to the agenda and other issues not on the agenda. Individual cases cannot be discussed in this section of the meeting.
The meeting will conclude with a review of the minutes of the previous meeting and any other urgent business which the Chair accepts for discussion.
The scheduled time for conclusion is 9.30pm and the next meeting is due to take place on 18 December.

We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them.
