The Chiswick Area Forum is scheduled to meet on Tuesday, 17 March 2026. The meeting will include an update from the local police, an introduction to the community group Abundance London, and an open forum for residents to raise local concerns. The forum will also review its ongoing issue tracking.

Local Police Update

The meeting agenda indicates that an update from the local police is scheduled to be provided. This will offer an opportunity for councillors and residents to hear about policing matters in the Chiswick area.

Introduction to Abundance London

The forum is set to receive an introduction to Abundance London. This organisation focuses on community-led projects, often involving food growing and sustainability initiatives. The introduction will likely cover their work and how residents can get involved.

Open Forum

A significant portion of the meeting is dedicated to an Open Forum, scheduled to take place around 9:00 pm for approximately 20 minutes. During this session, members of the public will have the opportunity to raise matters of local concern. The protocol for the Open Forum states that written submissions are encouraged by 8:00 pm, and while detailed discussions may not always be possible, points raised will be noted to inform the Area Forum's work. The protocol also outlines that up to three items can be considered per meeting, and speakers will be allowed at the Chair's discretion. Any issues raised that require a more in-depth response will be followed up after the meeting.

Issue Tracking

The forum will review its ongoing Issue Tracking. This agenda item involves monitoring a list of issues previously raised by residents and councillors. The documents indicate that several issues are currently being tracked, including the enforcement of abandoned e-bikes, notifications from the 'Fix My Street' app, the installation of a lift at Turnham Green station, recycling from flats above shops, events at Gunnersbury Park, the Chiswick House & Gardens Conservatory, Hounslow Highways schedules, and the Chiswick Village development. The progress and responses to these tracked issues will be presented.

The meeting will be chaired by Councillor Jack Emsley. Other councillors attending include Councillor Joanna Biddolph, Councillor Amy Croft (Mayor), Councillor Gabriella Giles, Councillor Ranjit Gill, Councillor Gerald McGregor, Councillor Ron Mushiso, Councillor Peter Thompson, and Councillor John Todd.

The meeting will commence with an informal networking event from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm, featuring marketplace stalls where residents can speak with council officers and community groups. The formal meeting begins at 7:30 pm.
