PARK
December sees many groups having their Christmas gatherings, especially down by the river at the Stable end. There are not enough dustbins but I have arranged for Parks to pay a visit every Monday morning specifically to pick up rubbish.
Cars are driving onto the fields – caught one having driving lessons! With the theft of so many bollards they can get right down to the river from the inner road and not being able to close the booms because of no Park worker or guards on site, there is little we can do. If I am there I ask them to leave. I am away for Dec. and with the festive season there are bound to be many more down by the river. FOFS members will do their best to control it.
Parks are going to install an outdoor gym in the New Year. We will keep on top of this.
ENTRANCE
On Monday 3rd Dec. Parks have promised to weed and give the entrance garden a tidy up. Together with the PCA we are going to paint the entrance and hope to have the gate closure operating soon. Closed 10pm – 5am provided no functions etc. ADT will be doing the opening and closing. This will increase security for the Park and the neighbourhood.
The Guardhouse has been vandalized. It will be tidied, the window boarded up and hopefully left alone.
MEMBERSHIP
We need more members. To those who use the Park and benefit from this beautiful green space, please join if you are not a member so that we can care for and protect this precious green lung which, like any open space, is at risk.
BEST WISHES TO ALL OUR MEMBERS AND A SAFE AND HAPPY CHRISTMAS.
