BENCHES IN THE PARK

Have you seen the 3 benches that arrived in the park on Saturday morning? As welcome as they are, I am not sure the one near the park entrance is sensibly located for the residents whose gardens are adjacent.

Would you like to see more of these in the park?

What else can we do with the park?

I am on the case to get the lake dredged but don't hold your breath!

Violent theft on Sunday evening

A group of teenagers stole a bike from another boy on Sunday evening around 6pm. Did you see anything?

I am told that they threatened the boy with a knife.

I will ask the local police to increase their presence again, they seem to be a little anonymous especially when the park is as busy as today. The police did arrive...its a bit late at 9pm!!

What do you think of our updated website?

Have you read it all?

There is a bottle of wine for the 500th visitor...it could be you

We are currently working on our next newsletter which will highlight some of the issues from the Summer such as traffic calming and domestic burglary.

We are looking for a few volunteers to organise an event for the children for Christmas...please let me know if you would like to help.

Also, when you get the newsletter you will also receive a gift from us!!! Your own Residents Association pen..don't leave home without it, a permanent reminder of our website.

Have a great weekend in the sunshine.

Road restrictions

What do you think of the road restrictions that have been built at the end of Charter Road? That is what was proposed for all of us.

Let me know what you think

Have you seen the re-painting of the shed in the park? I wonder how long it will stay like that but is a big improvement on what was a real eyesore

Tesco update

The decision about the Tesco proposal for Highams Park was deferred last night for further analysis on the traffic issues and the impact on local business.

I understand that Tesco are unhappy with the decision. I can only assume from that they have nothing more to say?

No doubt more will appear in the local newspaper this week, should be a good week for sales!
