Progress on Croydon's exciting £200 million Tramlink light railway network is one of the many topics to be discussed at the next meeting of the Millennium Forum on October 24.
The event, starting at 6.30pm in the Arnhem Gallery, Fairfield Halls, is open to anyone in the borough who wishes to know more about Croydon's plans for the millennium.
The purpose of the meeting is to ensure that everyone who lives and works in the borough is kept up-to-date on planned activities.
Speakers will include David Gibbons, former council urban planner who is directing the £4.2 million Millennium Commission-backed Skyline lighting project. Another senior figure will be present to advise how funding for local projects can be obtained from the £100 million Millennium Festival fund, and Fairfield's chief executive Derek Barr will reveal how the town's best known entertainment centre will be marking the occasion.
There will be display stands with contributions from bodies involved in millennium projects. Among those invited are local community groups and businesses who will have the opportunity to promote their own involvement in the Millennium festivities.
The organisers also hope that a volunteer programme can be launched encouraging local people to take an active role in the management and staffing of festival events.
Anyone wishing to attend the forum should contact co-ordinator Addy Bloch on 0181 253 1017.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
