| 5 | Restart Project: These events have proved popular and will continue to be arranged. The next one in Brentford will not now be until next year, depending on Cathja finding new premises, since they have to move due to the redevelopment of the south side of Brentford High Street. Information on this subject and other restart parties may be found at: https://therestartproject.org/RestartParty/ | ALL |
| 6 | Street Care Team, Litter bins: the emptying of these and the problems regarding recyclable items were discussed again. It is of great concern, both to the environment and the fund-raising possibilities for local authorities, that there are no facilities locally to collect the valuable aluminium cans. It may be a fruitful exercise to invite someone from Hounslow Highways to come to a future meeting to discuss this. Patti to ask Guy Lambert if he can arrange or advise who to invite. | PH |
