Discussion of venues and agenda items for future meetings
Minutes:
- The Committee discussed the format
of the preceding Area Forum which had taken the form of
‘information stands’ rather than an open meeting. It
was felt that having one to one discussions with residents enabled
more information and suggestions to be passed on to Councillors and
officers, and that it would be useful to repeat this format once or
twice a year, maybe for an hour of the forum, followed by a wider
discussion.
- The Mental Health Trust had
expressed an interest in attending the next meeting to seek
questions and feedback from residents regarding the St Ann’s
Hospital development.
- When the dates for 2012/13 were
confirmed, it was suggested that these be circulated to the
Residents Associations and mailing lists to ensure that people had
early notification of forthcoming dates throughout the year.
- Harringayonline had offered to run a surgery on
social media, websites, and general IT issues before the start of
the next meeting.
- In light of the offer from
Harringayonline, it was suggested that
the next meeting also be held at the TCCA, as this venue had
wi-fi access, but that for subsequent
meetings the Forums should move between the wards in recognition of
residents’ preferences.
- The Committee thanked the Chair for
the smooth running of the meetings throughout the current municipal
year.
