The next meeting of the Chiswick Area Forum is going to have a cultural theme as well as examine the issue of the digital divide.
It is taking place on Tuesday 12 March in The Hogarth Hall, Chiswick Town Hall, Heathfield Terrace (W4 4JN).
One item on the agenda is ‘Celebrating Culture in Hounslow which will be followed by a presentation on the work of the Arts Centre Hounslow which puts on a pantomime every year as well as a range of other events.
Then the meeting will hear from Joel Tiller, the Head of Policy and Insights at the Digital Policy Alliance.
Following that two Digital Champions from One Hounslow will update the meeting on the digitalisation of the borough and give more details on how they are helping residents to get digital including a pilot for a new Digital Drop-in in central Chiswick where people can learn online skills.
The formal proceedings of the meeting begin at 7.30pm but for an hour before that there will be a market place event with stalls from local agencies that provide on opportunity to meet with council officers and councillors and hear about local community groups and initiatives.
An Open Forum will take place as close as possible to 9.00pm for approximately 20 minutes. Members of the public may raise matters of local concern although may not be possible to have a detailed discussion or response at the meeting. Points raised will be noted and used to inform the work of the Area Forum.
The following Chiswick Area Forum meeting is scheduled for 12 June 2024.
