South Bank Forum
The South Bank Forum allows local people to express their views, influence decisions about their neighbourhood and ensure decision-makers fully understand the community’s priorities.
The Forum meets quarterly and is chaired by the two local MPs – Kate Hoey (Vauxhall) and Simon Hughes (North Southwark & Bermondsey). Local ward councillors from Lambeth and Southwark also attend. Topics include everything from planning and new developments, to the postal service and crime. In addition to agenda items, members of the community can also raise other issues for discussion.
The Forum is organised and run by the South Bank Partnership, which coordinates and monitors initiatives to improve the South Bank, Waterloo and Blackfriars area.
