Have Your Say – just 2 weeks to go

Thursday, January 26th, 2012

 

You have until the 3rd February to make your views known about the proposal for a Queen’s Park Community Council.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to help improve Queen’s Park for everyone who lives here.

Campaigners, with the help of Queen’s Park Forum staff Ted and Fabian, are hosting an all day and evening drop-in information surgery for residents wanting to find out more. Come and see us over a cup of tea at Office 1, Beethoven Centre, Third Avenue w10 on Monday 30th January. We hope to have Somali, Bengali and Arabic speakers on hand to translate. Our aim is to help you have your say.

For those unable to make it to the information drop-in on the 30th, we provide a short note on the two key questions that most directly concern Queen’s Park residents right now. Dont delay, let Westminster Council know what you think: email cgr@westminster.gov.uk  

Alternatively the full consultation document can be found on Westminster’s website. But be warned – it is more than a little confusing.

Happy new year for neighbourhoods

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012


PDT and the Queens Park Forum start 2012 with the great news that Queens Park has been selected by the Department for Communities and Local Government to pilot an exciting new initiative that will open up  participation in the co-design of local public services focusing on families.

The QP project is one of ten ‘neighbourhood level’ projects that have been selected to develop small scale Community Budgets that will give residents a micro-local level say over the services they want and use. The local community will play a leading role, working with councils and professionals, to shape local services so they work in a user friendly and integrated setting.

Angela Singhate, Chair of the Queens Park Forum said, ‘This is a great opportunity for Queens Park and works alongside our petition to become a recognised Community Council.’  Neil Johnston CEO PDT said, ‘The Neighbourhood Budget pilot provides the people of Queens Park with a chance to re-think how services to families and the wider community can be made to work better. Working together with Westminster City Council and other public services we look forward to discovering new approaches co-designed by local people and professionals.’
