The meeting was reasonably well attended but as always we would welcome and encourage more residents to attend. Teas, coffee and biscuits were appreciated and helped to create a relaxed an informal atmosphere.

 

The Chair open the meeting and welcomed everyone and introduced the guest speaker, Councillor Tanweer Khan.

 

The Councillor gave an interesting talk starting with his up bringing both in the north and then later in London. He explained his work as Councillor and the workings of Redbridge Council and took questions from the floor. These were varied and covered many situations relevant to residents on the bungalow estate.

 

The Chair thanked the Councillor for his frank discussion with residents and that his attendance was very much appreciated.

 

A striking point to come out of the meeting was that the Council, to a very large degree, is dependant on residents notifying the the relevant Council Department should they become aware of of activity that is dangerous, illegal or anti-social so the Council can then follow up with necessary action.

 

The Chair announced the existing Committee was prepared to stand for a continuing term in Office, this was voted on and passed by a show of hands.

 

The meeting closed very shortly after 9.00pm.
