The chair announced:

 

Council Assembly on 6 April 2011 will be considering the future for Southwark developing our plan for the Borough”. This is a council led initiative for Council Assembly to develop closer links with community councils. People were told to keep an eye on the council’s website to post your views or submit a question or raise a deputation at the April meeting from mid-March: www.southwark.gov.uk/democracy 

 

Southwark Council has set up a Democracy Commission with the aim of bringing the Council closer to its residents, making it more accountable to them and more connected with their concerns.

 

There were also displays and artefacts at the meeting from ECO Schools, the Pumphouse Educational Museum and Surrey Docks Farm.  Representatives were there to highlight what they do.
