Ashton and Bryn township forum

At last night's meeting of the Ashton Bryn township forum I was elected chair of the forum. I have held this position before when the forum was first created until I lost my seat in the 2004 local elections. It was a bit of a surprise to be re-elected.

One of the main concerns about the forum has always been that local residents do not know what it does and who sits on it and why they are there. I would be grateful if my readers - yes they are now officially plural - could contact me to answer this question ' Do you know what the township forum does?'

I have also devised a poll at the side of this blog that you can take part in.

UPDATE

Apologies to the person who has voted - there seems to be a problem with the poll. Please could you vote again.

I'm pleased to see that you have been elected as Chair of the Township Forum. Perhaps now there will be some respect and a listening ear for genuine community groups, in place of the factional manoeuvering and hostility to anyone who isn't a supporter of a certain anti-Council political party. I hope that one of your achievements is to improve the communication of the work of the Township Forum to the public at large - I'm sure that 90% of local people have no idea that it exists.
