Hanworth Area Forum

At Borough Council on 23rd May 2023 members agreed to increase the number of area forums from five to seven.  As a result the Bedfont Feltham Hanworth Area Forum was split into two separate meetings (Bedfont and Feltham Area Forum and Hanworth Area Forum).    The members of the Hanworth Area Forum are ward councillors for the following wards:   Hanworth Park – Councillor Bishnu Gurung (Chair) and Councillor Farah Kamran Hanworth Village – Councillor Allan Joseph and Councillor Aysha Tariq   The Hanworth Area Forum is one of seven area forums operating across the borough.  Each is committed to providing clear, accountable, community leadership and tackling the unique challenges and needs of their area. The Forum monitors and reviews services delivered by the Council and other agencies in that area.   An area forum is made up of councillors and option for members of the public with extensive knowledge of the area to be co-opted onto the committee.   The meetings allow for local consultation and discussion. Area forums are crucial in shaping the local area to meet the needs and aspirations of their residents, providing a forum for local decision-making on a wide range of matters.  Meetings are open to the public and details of the meetings are available from the link above.    Changes to Local Representation for this area and access to records: July 2011: Borough Council agreed to abolish the standalone planning meetings of the Area Committees.   July 2012: West Area Committee was renamed West Area Forum.    January 2013: Borough Council agreed that West Area Forum should be renamed Bedfont Feltham Hanworth Area Forum.    For meetings of the Area Forum before 23rd May 2023 please go to Bedfont, Feltham, Hanworth Area Forum   For meeting records before July 2011 please go to West Area Committee (Monitoring) meetings or West Area Committee (Planning) meetings.   Electronic records are available for this area on the Council’s website for the period from January 2003 onwards.  Many reports before this date are available electronically and can be emailed on request.   If you would like further information, please contact: Joti Patel, Principal Committee Administrator, on 020 8583 3356 or email joti.patel@hounslow.gov.uk
