Jayne and I went along to K2 for the six-monthly public meeting of the Sussex Police Authority. After the chaos and disorder of last week’s constituency meeting, where I believe I offered several people “outside” at one point, it was relaxing to go to a relatively calm meeting. Of course, the presence of 3 or […]

There was some encouraging news about mino motos today on the BBC website and on our local BBC TV news – the police are cracking down on their illegal and anti-social use, and the government are giving them some support. Last month’s Broadfield neighbourhood forum was a reminder, not that one was really needed, of […]

Blogs and ‘old media’
July 13th, 2006 · 2 Comments · Life
There has been a lot written lately about the relationship between new and old media. I have been keeping an eye on the debate but don’t feel involved: I don’t have aspirations towards being a ‘citizen journalist’ myself, or indeed any sort of journalist and I know that my readership is dwarfed by even the […]

Public meeting about antisocial behaviour
July 4th, 2006 · Comments Off on Public meeting about antisocial behaviour · Politics
Tonight there was a partially successful public meeting in the Broadfield community centre about antisocial behaviour – it all depends on how you define success. Obviously the wider problems of antisocial behaviour were not solved, and no individual problems were solved, so if anyone had turned up expecting a magic wand to be waved they […]

There is a meeting of the Broadfield Forum at the community center on Monday July 3rd at 7pm and the theme of the meeting is anti-social behaviour.

The Broadfield Forum

Things are picking up a little bit at the Broadfield Forum. This time round we actually had some new faces and ten members of the public turned up, actually outnumbering the council officers/police/councillors for a change. The new faces were even from Broadfield South, which can only be a good thing. Although most topics for […]

Just a reminder that the next meeting of the Broadfield Forum is being held on April 11th at 7:00pm. It is open to anyone, and currently dominated by residents of Broadfield North, so lets see if more of us from the South can turn up next time!

Broadfield Forum – Jan 2006
January 10th, 2006 · Comments Off on Broadfield Forum – Jan 2006 · Politics
Tonight was the first Broadfield Neighbourhood Forum of the New Year. From a distance it looked like a good crowd, but look more closely and you would have seen that there were 3 Crawley Borough councillors, 1 West Sussex county councillor, 3 Crawley Borough officers, 1 police inspector, 1 manager from London & Quadrant housing […]

Broadfield Forum meeting – January 2006
December 11th, 2005 · Comments Off on Broadfield Forum meeting – January 2006 · Politics
The next meeting of the Broadfield Forum is on Tuesday, January 10th 2006 at the Broadfield Youth & Community Centre. Starting time is 7:00pm. Previous meetings have had very little representation from the Tollgate Hill area, in fact I am usually the only person there from this part of town. If there is anyone else […]
More from the Broadfield Forum
September 29th, 2005 · Comments Off on More from the Broadfield Forum · Life
I have had another thought about Tuesday’s Broadfield Forum. It is a useful meeting, but there are ways to make it more useful. I have already discussed how it could, and should, be more inclusive, particularly in the respect of not ignoring the Tollgate Hill area. Another improvement occurred to me while I was writing […]
