The next Forest Hill ward assembly will be on 8th October at Sydenham School, Dartmouth Road, SE26 4RD. This assembly is for people to the west of the railway.

Following feedback from people on this forum the meeting will start at the slightly later time of 6:50pm. But the first half of the meeting is a chance for you to speak to organisations bidding for money. The vote will take place at 8pm, so there will be no problem arriving at 7:30pm if you can't make it earlier.

This assembly includes voting for the allocation of £15k in the assembly fund. Having seen the bids (as a member of the assembly coordinating group) I can say that they are all excellent applications that will help local people, but a few will have to lose out in the popular vote. So please come along and vote for the projects that you feel are most worthwhile for the area.

In addition to the voting there will be a discussion on lampposts with a representative from Skanska, who will help to illuminate the issue.
