A chance to have your say on your views on the area’s future

This year’s Brentford Voice Annual General Meeting is to be followed by a community listening exercise in which residents will have a chance to have their say about the future of the area.

The formal business of the AGM starts at 7.30pm on Thursday 28 October at Studio 1, Watermans Art Centre (TW8 0DS).

The agenda for the meeting is available here and the Treasurer’s report is here.

It was not possible to hold and AGM last year due to Covid-19 restrictions.

It is hoped that his section of the meeting will not take more than half an hour and ‘a Local Conversation’ can begin and the event is expected to end at 9.30pm.

If you’ve received its Autumn Newsletter titled THE CHANGING FACE OF BRENTFORD, and if you are concerned about the changes that are happening and coming to Brentford, and most importantly want to have a say on the future of where you live, Brentford Voice would very much like to hear your thoughts.

Brentford Voice says, “As much as this is a local conversation it’s very much a ‘listening’ conversation, so do please come along as the future of our community belongs to all of us and we do want to listen to you.

“If you have a specific topic you wish to raise do please let us know in advance so we can create a structure for the meeting.

“We are limited to numbers because of Covid restrictions, so if you do want to join us could you please email confirming your intention to attend in advance so we can manage this event safely for everyone. Please email info@brentfordvoice.co.uk

“Watermans has asked us to remind you that they have a restaurant and bar for use both before and after the meeting.”

This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets.

We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.

A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.

If you do support us in this way we’d be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor.

For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you’d like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT.
