About the forum

BGLNF exists to help make our neighbourhood the best place it can be. It is by and for people living and/or working in our neighbourhood. It was formally designated by the City of London in July 2023. Over time we will develop a Neighbourhood Plan setting out our collective priorities and policies for the development of our Area.

The Neighbourhood Forum and Plan covers a designated area

BGLNF is incorporated as a company limited by guarantee. It has a Steering Group made up of local people - residents, council members, faith and community leaders and businesses. This will change over time but now it is:
