AUBREY LONGE RE ELECTED AS OSCOTT CENTRAL NEIGHBOURHOOD FORUM CHAIR

After attending the some what chaotic Oscott HLB AGM that failed to take off on Thursday, it was nice to be asked to attend a well organised AGM run by the Oscott Central Neighbourhood Forum.
This meeting took place at the 610 Community Centre this morning and it is my guess it cost less than a tenth of the Housing department led HLB meeting. There were certainly as many residents there.
As usual following the well run AGM section, I was in the firing line to answer questions from the audience. (Sadly Councillor Dring had a prior commitment).
Questions ranged from why are some pavements so bad to what is the latest situation regarding the Booths Lane development.
I was also good to see that Khalid Mahmood MP popped in for the last few minutes to answer questions from the audience.
I was not surprised to see Aubrey Longe re elected as Chair of the OCNF as I know he is so committed to the local community.
