Kennington, Oval and Vauxhall Town Centre Forum - Annual General Meeting(posted 8021 days ago)The North Lambeth Town Centre is one of five Town Centres covering the whole of Lambeth and is part of Lambeth Council's Town Centre Management initiative. It is currently subdivided into three Town Centre Forum Areas. The Kennington, Oval and Vauxhall ("KOV") TCM Forum includes all of Princes and Oval wards, and Bishop's ward south of Lambeth Road.
The KOV Forum aims to give a voice to residents, community organisations and businesses and to empower all to become actively involved in what is going on in the Kennington, Oval and Vauxhall area, making their local priorities known to the Council.
The KOV Board is accountable to the Forum and will be elected at the AGM on 21 May. Only registered Forum members are entitled to vote or stand for the Board. Although you can join at any time, your organisation will only be able to vote or put up a candidate for the Board, if you have registered by noon on 10 May 2002. Please note that those of you who had registered for the year 2001/2002, will be required to re-register for 2002/2003 until noon on 10 May 2002, as well.
Businesses, public sector groups, tenants' and residents' associations and community groups, which have a connection with the Kennington, Oval and Vauxhall area, as well as a written constitution and a democratically-elected governing body, are eligible to send representatives to represent them in the Forum session. The maximum number of representatives each business, organisation or group can send to the Forum is as follows:
* A maximum of 2 representatives each for residents' and tenants' associations, and other membership-based organisations
* A maximum of 1 representative each for public bodies (other than Lambeth Council)
* 2 individuals from each area where no TRAs or similar organisations are present
* Local businesses are invited to register with the Forum and will be eligible to register with one Forum member.

Candidates for the board will be required to submit a 75-word statement, which will be printed next to their name on the ballot paper, by noon on 14 May 2002.
