Londonforum's role

The London Forum of Amenity and Civic Societies represents the views and interests of amenity and civic societies and their members on issues that are important for the quality of life of Londoners.

We do this by

• taking part in meetings and consultations held by the Mayor of London, Transport for London, other Londonwide bodies, and departments and agencies of national government
• submitting written responses to consultations where appropriate
• monitoring and responding to, the Mayor's policies and decisions
• taking part in Examinations in Public of Amendments to the London Plan and some major public inquiries
• liaising with London Councils (representing the London Boroughs) and the Association of London Borough Planning Officers
• submitting oral and written evidence to Scrutinies held by the London Assembly and to relevant Parliamentary inquiries
• where necessary, mounting campaigns on important issues.

Current objectives and priorities are set out in a Business Plan, which is discussed and agreed by the Executive Committee and regularly reviewed.

In addition to this website, members are kept up to date with events and briefed on Londonforum's positions through

• open meetings with expert speakers
• e-bulletins
• our magazine, newsforum, - which also circulates widely to influentials in London
