Because each forum covers a much smaller area it can focus on local issues and it is hoped that will encourage more people to attend and get involved in local decisions.
Led by ward councillors, the forums will feature joint problem solving on local concerns, including round table discussions on issues such as community safety, traffic and transport schemes, parks and street improvements. Plus each ward will have the chance to influence an annual budget of £40,000 for local improvements.
Meetings for each of the other wards are being arranged and are
expected to begin over the next few weeks. Forums will meet
at least three times a year and will be publicised through ward
newsletters. Copies of the newsletters and details of the
meetings are available at
www.ealing.gov.uk/committees.
