Chairman's Welcome: The Chairman of the Community Forum, Councillor Shah, welcomed the community representatives to the meeting and asked that the meeting pay a mark of respect to the memory of Mr. B. Dutt, former Chairman of the Harrow Council for Racial Equality and active member of the Refugee Forum,: Matali/Aid India Forum and the Community Forum, who recently passed away. (All those in attendance then stood and observed one minutes silence). Following this, the Chairman advised the meeting of the proposed programme for the evening commencing with an introduction by officers of the Council. 2. Harrow Partnership: The Chief Executive and Director of Finance explained that he felt it was important, considering the number of representatives, from ethnic minority community groups present -at a consultation meeting for the first time, that he explain the objectives, of the Harrow Partnership. At the inception of the Harrow Partnership in July 1998 the Council made the decision: to take a less paternalistic approach to the provision of services to the community. The objective was to include the community in consultation with service providers and the Council in an attempt to improve the overall health and well being of the community. It was emphasised that successful partnership, which would enable ethnic minority groups to make a difference1, required community representatives to be active and take advantage of opportunities such as the Community Forum public meetings. The Chief Executive identified the four overlapping themes into which the Harrow Partnership was divided: Lifelong Learning, Health and Social Care, Environment and Economy and particular emphasis was placed on the Strengthening Communities Stakeholder Forum. It was stated that the Stakeholder Forum had identified the importance of celebrating ethnic diversity as a means to strengthening the community and encouraging equality of opportunity. The Chief Executive accepted that problems may occur in the implementation of this process but hoped that it was perceived as a genuine attempt by the Council to involve the community in creating: a safe and sustainable environment. 3. Format and Purpose of the Meeting: The Head of IT and Corporate Services explained that this was the second of two meetings held between: representatives of the ethnic minority communities and representatives of the ..Council The first meeting:was an opportunity for groups to express concerns specific to their own organisation whilst the second meeting presented an opportunity to list the broader issues affecting ethnic minority groups, It was advised that the issues raised at this meeting would; be referred to the next Equality Panel, following which the community groups would be notified of any action to be taken. 4. Organisation of the Community Groups into Workshops: In order to make the consultation procedure more manageable it was agreed that the meeting should be divided into two groups who would discuss .issues arising under the headings of the four partnership themes. At 8.04 p.m. accordingly, the forum; divided into two Workshop groups. Reports detailing the issues raised at the two workshops are attached as an appendix. 5. Presentation of the Issues Discussed to the Meeting: Following the participation of those attending in one or the other of the two Workshop sessions, the meeting; re-convened at 9.15 p.m. to hear two short presentations summarising; the issues raised and discussed by the groups. The first presentation covered; Lifelong Learning . , ... Reduced opening hours in libraries and lack of funding for books published in ethnic minority -languages. Workshops to encourage respect: between the generations, with the aim of opening communication channels through which young people can benefit from the experience of older people. Health and Social, Care Lack of accessible information regarding; services provided. The Group discussed the shortfall of leaflet drops and discussed a need for alternative methods of information presentation. Problems caused by language barriers when trying to obtain health and social care, specifically in relation to refugees. Lack of cultural sensitivity in the provision of health and social care. A lack of targeting of ethnic minority .groups, particularly within the remit of social care. Environment and Economy The community representatives expressed a desire to be more involved in the Local: Agenda 21 initiative and highlighted that MASALA 21 was only perceived to be aimed towards the Asian community. The group expressed the importance of .involvement in all stages of consultation;. They wanted increased representation in the environment and economy Steering Group initiatives. Lack of information to community groups regarding environment and economy initiatives. Strengthening Communities Improved Council response to racial harassment. Need for increased visible minority representation on the Community Safety Forum. Raising awareness in relation to race issues. Problems arising from institutional racism. Provision of arts facilities for minority groups, including a cultural centre. The second presentation was broadly based on, two issues- Sports Recreation The Group discussed difficulties encouraging young people from ethnic minorities to become involved in sporting activities, they felt often racism or a lack of peer support was a factor. The group suggested the Council monitor existing provisions but felt separate facilities may be necessary to encourage participation of the young ethnic minority population. Training and Employment Lack of employer sensitivity to ethnic issues. A need for refugee work placements. A shortfall of in-house training for community groups, compounded by insufficient availability of resources. 6. Close of Meeting: The Chairman reiterated the issues arising from the first public meeting held in February, including the need for a Youth Forum and Cultural Centre, improved day centre facilities for elderly Asians, funding for new and existing organisations and proposals for the "Millennium". It was hoped that the two Community Forum meetings

  • SPECIAL BRIEFING: LONDON MAYORAL and ASSEMBLY ELECTION RESULTS 2016 7 May 2016 Khan Storms Into City Hall
    SPECIAL BRIEFING: LONDON MAYORAL AND ASSEMBLY ELECTION RESULTS 2016 7 May 2016 Khan storms into City Hall Robert Gordon Clark Executive Chairman Sadiq Khan has been elected as Mayor of London with a comprehensive 57%-43% victory over Conservative Zac Goldsmith after second preference votes. He also returned the biggest ever first preference vote (1,148,716) for a mayoral candidate against the highest ever mayoral election turnout (45.6%). For Khan, the uber-campaigner who managed Labour’s success in London local elections in 2014 and in the capital’s 73 seats at the General Election last year, this is the pinnacle of his electoral achievements to date and confirmation should anyone need it that London is now a solidly left leaning city and one at ease with electing a first Muslim Mayor. Meanwhile the race for third was as tight as predicted with the Green Party’s Sian Berry repeating the party’s third place of 2012 with 6% of first preference votes, narrowly ahead of the Lib Dems’ Caroline Pidgeon on 5%. UKIP’s Peter Whittle was fifth with 4% followed by Sophie Walker of the Women’s Equality Party on 2%. Khan’s energy and enthusiasm for the mayoralty was evident right from the start of Labour’s selection contest where he overcame frontrunner Tessa Jowell. Hustings victory then morphed seamlessly into a mayoral campaign where he was much quicker than Goldsmith in activating party supporters and hitting the streets and airwaves with his vision for London. He also zoomed in on parts of the capital and communities where predecessor Ken Livingstone struggled in 2008 and 2012.

Some direct links in the current network would no longer be provided.

  • (By Email) Our Ref: MGLA031120
    (By email) Our Ref: MGLA031120-9207 3 December 2020 Dear Thank you for your request for information which the Greater London Authority (GLA) received on 2 November 2020 in which you asked the GLA to release information about Remembrance Sunday and Coronavirus. Your request has been considered under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Please accept my apologies for the slightly late response. You requested: • Planning documents related to covid-19 and procedures for Remembrance Sunday 2020. • Planning documents regarding Mayor Sadiq Khan's attendance of any Remembrance Sunday memorial services in a formal capacity. Our response to your request is below: The GLA has located information within the scope of your request. Some information relates to the GLA's annual event which takes place on the Friday before Remembrance Sunday, and which is separate to the ceremony at the Cenotaph. City Hall This year, because of the Coronavirus pandemic, the Greater London Authority had planned for a hybrid event. There would have been a Remembrance service on Friday 6 November in the Chamber at City Hall to pay respect. The GLA had planned for a smaller than usual event, with a minimal number of people and with social distancing arrangements, as you will see from the attached documents. However, in the light of the national lockdown from 2 November, this event was cancelled and replaced by a pared down version of the ceremony with pre-recorded inserts. Since your request was received, the recording has been published on our website: https://www.london.gov.uk/events/2020-11-06/remembrance-day-2020 https://www.london.gov.uk/press-releases/mayoral/online-remembrance-service The Cenotaph The Mayor of London also attended the Remembrance Service at the Cenotaph on Sunday 8 November.

  • Letter to Wendy Nichols
    City Hall LONDONASSEMBLYLABOUR Queen’s Walk London SE1 2AA Switchboard: 020 7983 4380 Wendy Nichols Mincom: 020 7983 4458 Chair of the National Executive Committee Web: www.london.gov.uk 17 July 2019 Dear Wendy, We welcome Jeremy Corbyn’s statement that Anti-Semitism is vile and a poison in our society and is unacceptable in any form. We need urgent and appropriate action and do not think this should, or needs to, wait for the investigation by the EHRC, or hold a lengthy internal investigation, for us to put the Labour house in order. We would refer you to the IHRA statement on a Working Definition of Antisemitism (May 2016), adopted by the Labour Party, which clearly sets out illustrations and examples of antisemitism. As members of the London Assembly Labour Group, we wish to express our concern at the continued failure of the Labour Party to address the serious allegations of anti-Semitism within the Labour Party as outlined in last week’s BBC Panorama. We should be ashamed that we, the Labour Party, have let ourselves down in dealing with complaints about anti-Semitism appropriately. We need to deal with the backlog of existing complaints – review those sanctions that have been applied previously to ensure that appropriately strong action has taken place. Between us, London Assembly Labour Group members represent all Londoners, irrespective of what faith they hold, or none. We are concerned that the apparent continued reluctance of some of our most senior Labour Party representatives and officials to take this seriously is damaging our claim to be an anti-racist party.
