First meeting of the INEOS Site Community Forum

The new INEOS Site Community Forum held its first meeting recently at Pavilions in Weston Point, Runcorn. The Community Forum was established to facilitate dialogue between the INEOS businesses at Runcorn site and the local community. The meeting was attended by resident representatives who were voted in after a community wide election.

The Community Forum is administered jointly by three INEOS businesses at Runcorn site - INEOS Chlor, INEOS Fluor and EVC - and meets once a quarter to discuss issues of mutual interest to the businesses and the local community.

Community representatives on the forum are:

Mersey Ward - John Gilbert, Reg Eastup, Sydney Broxton, Campbell Riley

Heath Ward - Janet Brown, Brian Howells

Palacefields Ward - Brian Porter

Beechwood Ward - Linda Redhead

Grange Ward - Ian Hartwell

In the coming weeks the Forum will be communicating to residents in those wards represented on the Forum to establish links and explain how people can contact their local Forum representative. More information about the Community Forum can be obtained at www.ineoschlor.com/community.
