| Since the launch of the Centre for Public Scrutiny Review we at KCSC have pressed to maintain the good momentum RBKC set early in the year to deliver on the promise to deliver on the twelve recommendations made by CfPS. As part of this delivery, Demsoc have been commissioned to provide a significant plank of the recommendations. Listening Forums, these are a significant step towards the Committees now an advisory panel , which are set to come later with an RBKC Committee discussing these issues on the 24th of the Month, "The aim and objectives of the Listening Forum is to provide a mechanism outside of the Town Hall for the Leadership Team to hear directly from residents in an open format. The Councillors will then take what has been heard, ensure actions are coordinated in response and openly report back to local people on what action has been taken." There will be 6 forums in the weeks to come starting with a meeting 30th October in Chelsea Academy, which is a perhaps signalling that the forums want to build up a head of steam before reaching North Kensington. These developments have the potential to be really dynamic, so we will discussing them at the next "Grenfell Network Meeting" on this with hopefully someone present from Demsoc.
