Urbanbuzz Consultation
In 2008 the Forum worked with the government-funded Urbanbuzz project, designed to roll out academic expertise into the wider community.
The Forum ran a three-day consultation in the Methodist building in the centre of Archway and reported back to Archway stakeholders on the findings.
