The first Old Kent Road Community Forum meeting was held on the evening of 11 February 2015.  It was very well attended and there was some lively and interesting discussion.  The notes of the meeting are available below. Regular forum meetings will help establish an inclusive community ‘voice’ which represents the interests of all of the community, identifying views, aspirations and concerns, and it will help enable the community to become equipped with knowledge and skills to contribute to planning future improvements and growth in the area.
