Introduction
These are a slightly revised version of the terms agreed by the Liaison Group at their meeting in June 2008.
Purpose
To provide a regular information sharing forum to enable key local stakeholders to discuss progress of the Project and the opportunities and challenges that emerge through their and other discussions.
Specific Activities
- To discuss reports of relevant activities being undertaken by the project team and relevant agencies
- To act as a sounding board and discuss opportunities and concerns raised by local residents groups and consider ideas about how they might be dealt with. (However, the group – as indicated in its title – does not have a decision making role)
- To receive presentations and discuss relevant topics – e.g. transport, policing and community safety, stadium and housing design, energy conservation and sustainability, financial viability – by appropriate specialist consultants, architects, engineers etc
- To organise appropriate (workshop or similar) events for particular groups – e.g. the young, elderly – to seek their views and also to consider attendance at local events – fundays, festivals – to publicise the proposals and seek local residents’ views on them.
- Other matters that the group feel are relevant for their attention as the process unfolds
- Membership
Appropriate designated individuals (up to two from each) from community and other local groups, Brentford Football Club and supporters groups. Local authority members and officers and the development team will also attend and officers from other statutory agencies will attend when relevant.
A distribution list of individuals will be created and they will receive meeting details (agendas, notes, etc.) for information. These details will also be posted on the website: www.brentfordcommunitystadium.com.
