Councillors representing Southfield ward are to hold a virtual ward forum using the Zoom conferencing tool and they are inviting residents to participate.
The last ward forum was due to take place on 1 April but had to be cancelled due to government advice on gatherings and social distancing. The Liberal Democrat councillors who represent the ward are still trying to keep in touch with residents so they decided to hold the meeting remotely on Wednesday 22 April at 7pm.
Southfield Councillor and Ward Forum Chair Gary Busuttil said, "We hope residents can join us where we will first give an update about changes to Council services due to coronavirus and then answer questions from residents about any topic they wish to raise. Anyone who would like to ask a question or attend the meeting should email southfield@ealinglibdems.org.uk so we can give you more details."
Ealing Council had decided to scrap all ward forums but after lobbying by the Southfield ward team extra funding was found to extend them for a year.
Southfield ward covers the northern part of Chiswick which is part of Ealing borough as well as some streets in Acton.

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.
