The next Brentford and Syon Area Forum is taking place on Thursday 29 February at the Brentford Free Church.
Items on the agenda include a presentation on the Community Infrastructure Levy by Nathan Ringer, Senior Planning Officer, which aims to explain how developers contribute to the local infrastructure such as schools, health, transport and more. It will be follow by a Q&A.
There will also be the launch of the Area Forum Action Plan with Chris Jarvis, Community Development Officer & Dan Cllr Bowring, Area Forum Chair.
The formal meeting begins at 7.30pm and will be preceded an hour before by an Informal Networking Event which will include marketplace style stalls, where residents can speak with representatives from invited local organisations and Council officers about individual issues, meet and speak to their specific ward councillors and hear about local community groups and initiatives.
Police officers will also be on hand during this section of the evening to answer queries and discuss local policing matters. Light refreshments will be available during this section of the meeting.
Area Forums have become a vital part of the way that Hounslow Council engages with residents. The forums are held across the borough, split up by electoral ward.
There is no registration for these events – just come along on the evening.

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.
