| We are not a secretive bunch at all but merely a group of people who have lived in Chiswick for many years - in my case it is 41years - who really care for what it offers and how it develops. There is no one 'in the chair' as such but one person is appointed at each meeting to control the discussions and stick to the agenda to which we all contribute. Each person in the active group offers a particular skill. Most of the people are also involved in individual community groups in Chiswick and through them we try to liaise with the various residents associations and protection groups. Different people do different things - for example we have one person who is brilliant at going through all the planning applications and understands the procedures and notifies us of any that relate to what happens to Chiswick High Road. An architect guides us and puts us straight on the way the planners are obliged to deal with all applications and the etiquette of objecting and so on. All very egalitarian really and non political. People contact and ask to join and then there are some who have left the group, largely because they either had other commitments and could not dedicate enough time to attending the various meetings, reading through mountains of paper and searching and researching. We are always open to constructive suggestions and to have matters brought to our attention. |
