As mentioned in the previous post, the meeting for the Friends of Havering County Park was last Thursday evening. I attended along with 20 - 25 local residents who had been informed of the meeting. However, there was some concern that not many people knew about the meeting.
Havering Council had kindly placed an advert in the April issue of Living mag, however most of them had not been delivered by the 26th April, the night of the meeting, this is not acceptable, as many residents missed out, and i have taken the issue up with the Assistant Chief Executive of Havering to ask for an explanation.
Apart from only a few people present, the meeting went very well, it was chaired by Sgt Andy Barnes of Havering Park Safer Neighbourhoods Police Team, Sgt Barnes was supported on the night by the rest of his team.
The basic idea of how a friends group works was explained to all present, lots of questions were asked and a lot of concerns where expressed about the park, in particular the amount of motor bikes that illegally use the park. Sgt Barnes outlined some of the operations and work that has already gone on, such as the operation that i attended some two months ago.
Another meeting is going to be held around mid June time t try and set the group up, if you would like to attend keep watching the blog site for an update when we know the date. Or, if you would like to get involved, drop me a line know and i can send you some details in the post.
