Subgroup meeting - Mon Nov 1st at 6:30pm

I've since had a chat with Dorothy and she/we will address the engagement of residents and businesses. I don't know about the other 'tbc's.

I’ve looked at that, but I don’t know which ‘tbc’ items others have responded to, and don’t want to duplicate. Any idea where there are still gaps?

Hi Susan, I think there are agenda items on the draft slides that are marked 'tbc' that need someone to take up the issue. Matthew's email of 31st October gives details.

I’m not sure what’s needed from me - I don’t have anything specifically identified for me to address?

Just a reminder to the engagement subgroup to submit (i.e. email me) your slide for the forum meeting by tomorrow (Friday).

You can use the template attached (which is the same that Matthew circulated)

@Linda Royles you've nailed it - that would have been the sensible approach. Unfortunately social media by its nature tends to encourage participants to dumb down their content, and I'm certainly not immune to that. I am aware and I do try but the occasional post will be sub-optimal.

One problem we have though is that I seem to be the only one on Twitter - we lost Geraldine last year when she decided to concentrate on something else. Lawrence does Instagram I think. We could do with more posts from more of us, with a bit of a discussion about the "voice" that we want to use for FPSGNF.

Thank you both - is there a way to reframe this tweet and instead pose this as a question - one that seeks to engage and informs views surfaced here but on twittersphere? Asks naive of n4

I'm not disputing the negative environmental impact of concrete high-rise development, but not all high-rises are built (or will be built) that way. Crucially, to comment from the account "no more towers" expresses a view that is not that of the Forum, nor that of the community with which we're trying to engage with.

Because of the nuances of the topic (e.g. what if the tower is in cross-laminated timber and built to PassiveHaus standards?) I would refrain from sharing opinions from the Forum's account.

That was me. I assume we are all against climate change? The article is pretty damning.

I just checked our Twitter account and noticed that we shared the article below with a comment against more towers in Finsbury Park. Is this the official position of the Forum?

I don't want to start a debate about whether high-rise buildings are good or not, but purely pointing out that our social media messaging suggests that we as a Forum are against them.

If this is not the case, please whoever manages that account refrain from posting personal views and framing them as the Forum's views?
