The Chiswick Area Forum is scheduled to consider a range of local issues, including the management of pavements and trees, an update on waste and recycling, and efforts to tackle fly-tipping. The meeting will also feature a community spotlight on Dukes Meadows and a statement regarding Chiswick Back Common.

Managing Pavements and Trees

A key topic scheduled for discussion is the Managing the balance between pavements and trees. This agenda item suggests that the forum will examine how to best maintain the shared space between pedestrian walkways and the presence of trees, likely considering issues such as root damage, overhanging branches, and the overall aesthetic and functional impact on streetscapes.

Community Spotlight: Dukes Meadows

The forum is set to hear a Community Spotlight on Dukes Meadows, a significant local green space. This segment will likely provide an overview of activities, projects, or developments related to the meadows, offering an opportunity to highlight community involvement and any upcoming initiatives.

Waste and Recycling Update

An update on Waste and Recycling is planned, which will likely cover current performance, any new initiatives, or challenges faced in managing the borough's waste and recycling services. This could include information on collection schedules, recycling rates, or new strategies to improve environmental sustainability.

Tackling Fly-tipping

The forum's agenda includes a discussion on Tackling fly-tipping. This item is expected to address the ongoing issue of illegal dumping of waste in the area, potentially outlining strategies, enforcement measures, and community engagement efforts aimed at reducing and preventing fly-tipping incidents.

Cleansing Enhancement Programme and Weed Control

A discussion is scheduled regarding the Cleansing enhancement programme and weed control. This item will likely focus on the council's plans and activities to improve the cleanliness of public spaces, including strategies for managing weed growth on pavements and other areas.

Statement on Chiswick Back Common

The meeting is scheduled to include a Statement from the Chair of the Mid-Chiswick Society regarding Chiswick Back Common. This indicates that a representative from the Mid-Chiswick Society will present their views or concerns about Chiswick Back Common, a local open space, to the forum.

Open Forum

As is customary, an Open Forum will take place, providing an opportunity for members of the public to raise matters of local concern. While detailed discussions or immediate responses may not always be possible, points raised will be noted to inform the work of the Area Forum.

Issue Tracker

The Issue Tracker will be reviewed, which serves as a log of ongoing local issues raised by the community and councillors. This item allows for updates on previously discussed matters and the addition of new concerns to be monitored by the forum.

The meeting is scheduled to be chaired by Councillor Ron Mushiso, with other attendees including Councillors Joanna Biddolph, Amy Croft (Portfolio holder for Infrastructure, Enforcement and Recycling), Michael Denniss, Jack Emsley BEM, Gabriella Giles, Vickram Grewal, Linden Grigg, and Rick Rowe.
