A previous area forum meeting
January 6, 2026
Local residents will have the chance to hear updates on initiatives affecting the area when the Brentford and Syon Area Forum meets on Tuesday 13 January at 7.30pm. The meeting will take place at Brentford Free Church on Boston Manor Road (TW8 8DW).
The agenda includes two key items of public interest. Councillors will receive an update on Hounslow’s Smokefree Generation Campaign, the borough’s long‑term strategy to reduce smoking rates and protect young people from tobacco harm. This will be followed by the latest progress report on the Brentford High Street/Brentford Project, covering regeneration activity and ongoing improvements in the town centre.
The Open Forum allows residents can raise general issues relating to the agenda or other local matters. While individual cases cannot be discussed, the Open Forum provides an opportunity for residents to put questions directly to councillors and officers. Residents are encouraged to submit questions in advance to help ensure responses can be prepared in time.
The meeting will also cover any urgent business and confirm the date of the next scheduled session in March.
A recording of the meeting will be uploaded to the Council’s YouTube channel in the days following the event.
Area Forums have become an important part of the way that Hounslow Council tries to engage 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.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets. 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. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do. We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area. A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.

For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied.
