To let you all know that the AGM of the Brixton Area Forum will be held on Thursday 13 May in the Assembly Hall at Lambeth Town Hall. I am sure that many of you, with your strong views on the local area, will turn up.
The start time is, I think, 7pm although I don't have the papers to hand at the moment and can't find the stuff on the lambeth website. The discussions will include a review of what the BAF has done over the year, plans for the central square outside the Tate Library, and reports from each of the ward/subject committees (environment, transport, Coldharbour, Tulse Hill etc)
Hatboy, and others who have been involved in the BAF, may be able to add more.
When I received the papers I was interested to see that although there are thousands of people on the BAF mailing list, there are only something like 140 registered members. One of the things they are going to do at the AGM is vote for the overall chair and for the chairs of the committees. Only registered members can vote and 140 seems a scandalously low number of people to represent an area such as Brixton. So if you are interested, please take some time to register and use your vote wisely!

I'll try to get hold of some more info on this and post it up. In the meantime, wouldn't it be good if a load of us from here could turn up at the meeting, contribute intelligently to the debate and do our bit for local democracy directly - instead of baiting each other on the boards!
