Dear Fitzwest Forum Member
You are invited to the AGM on Thursday 13th October at 6pm.
Venue: Sainsbury Wellcome Centre, 25 Howland St, London W1T 4JG.
There will be the opportunity to learn a bit more about current Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) projects and how they are progressing, including plans for Market Place.
And if you are interested in joining the Executive or CIL committee and having a big say in how the CIL money is allocated, then you can find out how to do this as elections will be taking place.
It will be great to welcome you all in real life – after the last few years of virtual meetings!

Thank you to everyone who attended the AGM on 8th July.
We received an update on the Neighbourhood Plan with the reminder that the referendum on the plan is fixed for September 2nd and all residents and business owners in the FitzWest area get a vote.
Application forms for postal votes can be downloaded here and the deadline for registering for a postal vote is August 17th :

and should be returned to electoralservices@westminster.gov.uk
There were two other short presentations – one about greening ideas for the area and another one by Jace Tyrell from the New West End Company about how businesses are thriving and surviving post-pandemic.
There were also questions and contributions from members which led to interesting discussions and it was apparent how committed everyone is to making Fitzrovia a great place to live and work.

We’re keen to ensure that our membership and Executive are fully representative of local residents and workers, since at least 35% of the population is of non-white ethnic origin. So we’re actively seeking new members and particularly to engage people from non-white ethnic groups and younger people.
As part of this aim, we have delivered leaflets to all residents and businesses in the FitzWest area inviting them to the Join the FitzWest Neighbourhood Forum and come to the next Annual Meeting on 17 September 2020 which will be run on Zoom this year.
Please share your ideas on how we could broaden our membership to make it more representative of the FitzWest population by emailing info@fitzwest.org or commenting on this post.
If you are already a member, you could help by spreading the news about the FitzWest Forum to your neighbours and colleagues. Membership is free to local residents and businesses.
The FitzWest Forum is for people concerned about: housing; traffic and deliveries, space for small businesses; the need for more play space and green space; the environment and air quality. The Forum aims to address all these issues and represents those living and working on the Westminster side of Fitzrovia. The Annual Meeting will report on progress and discuss how to improve the area. A speaker will talk about how to create a Low Traffic Neighbourhood.
If you would like to join the Annual Meeting on 17 September by Zoom please let us know by emailing info@fitzwest.org.
The consultation period for our neighbourhood plan was completed in August and it is now being examined by an independent expert.
The agenda for the next meeting will be on our website www.fitzwest.org. For all other enquiries please email info@fitzwest.org.
Make sure your voice is heard.
