    c/- Ridgeways Wharf, Brent Way, Brentford, TW8 8ES Chairman: Nigel Moore Matt Bailey Project Officer London Assembly City Hall The Queen’s Walk London, SE1 2AA Re: LONDON ASSEMBLY INVESTIGATION INTO WATERWAY MOORINGS WHO WE ARE 1. The Brentford Waterside Forum has been in operation for over 25 years, involving itself in all matters of waterside importance in the area, conducting dialogue with both developers and Hounslow Council. 2. Organisations represented on the Forum include: The Butts Society; Inland Waterways Association; The Hollows Association; MSO Marine; Brentford Dock Residents Association; Brentford Community Council; Brentford Marine Services; Holland Gardens Residents Community; Weydock Ltd; Thames & Waterways Stakeholders Forum; Sailing Barge Research; The Island Residents Group; Ferry Quays Residents Association 3. The Forum's Core Values and Objectives are stated as follows: "The rediscovery of the Waterside in Brentford is putting intense pressure on the water front. There is growing competition for access to the river and canal sides; pressure is mounting to create new economic activities and provide residential development on the waters edge. These pressures jeopardise both existing businesses and the right of Brentford people to access the water, which is part of their heritage. Access to the waterside in Brentford is made possible by the changing economic and commercial use of the water. 4. The role of the Waterside Forum is: to provide informed comment on proposed developments or changes. Brentford Waterside Forum will work with and through agencies to achieve the following: — A strategic context for waterside decision making. — To protect access to the waterside, its infrastructure and the water itself for people to use for recreation, enjoyment and business, emphasising business that need a waterside location to be successful.
