@ChtyCommission FYI - your website doesn't display properly using a Chrome browser, and is very difficult to navigate.

@JustinGriggs @E7Drew The idea is that a NF is easier to set up than a CC. Hugh Barnard is part of our group - I believe you know him.

@JustinGriggs @E7Drew Hello Justin - I'm told that a Neighbourhood Forum can evolve into a Community Council later. Is that correct?

[Save Forest Gate @SaveForestGate]

@E7Drew @JustinGriggs I'm told a council is better, but more difficult to set up, so we are going for a forum first.

[Save Forest Gate @SaveForestGate]

@JustinGriggs @E7Drew I am now!

[Save Forest Gate @SaveForestGate]

@E7Drew @JustinGriggs Another SFG member suggests NALC http://t.co/BVmKAREeie can help. NF is easier & can change to CC (better) over time.

@E7Drew @JustinGriggs I'll have to reread the Localism Act stuff I ploughed through last year. I want to be sure we get this right!

[Save Forest Gate @SaveForestGate]

@E7Drew @JustinGriggs It's a Council-run organization. We want something the community controls.

[Save Forest Gate @SaveForestGate]

@E7Drew @JustinGriggs The local Council *has* to delegate a Neighbourhood Forum that fulfils the legal conditions.

[Save Forest Gate @SaveForestGate]

@E7Drew @JustinGriggs We concluded a Neighbourhood Forum would be better than a Community Council, same powers, quicker and easier to set up

I hope whoever did this is ashamed of themselves. http://t.co/t4lxbnRj Mocking our elected representatives is inexcusable.
