The Mitcham Community Forum was scheduled to consider updates on the Run South London and Merton Borough of Sport
initiative and developments in Mitcham Town Centre. The forum was also scheduled to hold a panel discussion on community hubs and resilience.
Run South London and Merton Borough of Sport
The forum was scheduled to receive an update on the Run South London and Merton Borough of Sport

This would have likely covered ongoing regeneration projects, business developments, and any new initiatives aimed at enhancing the town centre for residents and visitors. The report pack did not provide specific details on the exact nature of the update, but it was expected to cover various aspects of the town centre's current status and future plans.
Community Hubs and Resilience Panel Discussion
The forum was scheduled to include a panel discussion focused on community hubs and resilience. This session was intended to explore the role of community hubs in supporting local residents, particularly in times of crisis or change. Discussions were expected to cover how these hubs contribute to community resilience, the challenges they face, and potential strategies for their development and sustainability. The report pack did not name the specific panellists who were scheduled to participate.
Open Forum
An open forum was scheduled to allow attendees to raise any other community matters not covered in the main agenda items. This provided an opportunity for residents to voice concerns or suggestions directly to the forum.
