Maida Vale Area Forum

Last week was the regular Maida Vale Area Forum, where local residents have the opportunity to talk about our area and get involved with the decision making process at the Council.

A good turnout by Maida Vale residents enabled us to have a particularly good discussion at the end of the forum regarding this year's Community Fund for the area. The Council have again allocated a proportion of money for Maida Vale - less than the amount of the last two years (which was £100,000) as a result of the economic downturn, but still a sum that should be able to make a difference for residents (£50,000).

So far, the only commitment we've made is the continuation of the hanging baskets which have proven so popular in the last year. That leaves approximately £35,000 to spend going forward - and we chatted through what to do with the residents last week.

There is no rush to spend this money so, if you have any views, please do get in touch at maidavale@maidavaleconservatives.com.
