Your time has come to vote in a referendum on the Neighbourhood Plan on 2nd September 2021. Everyone registered to vote will be able to say whether they want the plan to influence planning decisions and create an improved environment for all those living in, working in and visiting the area. All businesses in the neighbourhood which pay business rates will also get a vote.

DEADLINE FOR BUSINESSES TO REGISTER IS 17TH AUGUST.

If you haven’t received your letter from WCC inviting you to register, then contact Kealy.Peachey@civica.co.uk who will issue you with a registration form. Don’t delay! Do it now or you will miss your chance to vote.

The Fitzrovia Centre in Foley Street will be the polling station but residents can also apply for a postal vote through this link:

One of the main functions of the Forum is to prepare a neighbourhood plan. This sets out a series of policies explaining how we’d like to see the area develop over the next 20 years. The plan has been based on extensive consultation and we work closely with community groups, statutory bodies and business organisations such as the New West End Company. The draft plan has been approved by an independent Examiner who has agreed it fits with other plans prepared by Westminster City Council and the Mayor of London.

You can see the plan here: Neighbourhood Plan

Vote YES on 2nd September to agree the plan.
