Despite the rain threatening to wash out the whole day, I made it to Planet Havering yesterday, numbers seemed lower than in previous year, which im sure was down to the rain, however that did not stop the show from going on !
I managed to do a whistle stop tour of the show with my eldest daughter in an hour and a half; we visited all of the marquees and managed to pick up a few goodies to take home, such as pens and pencils and the odd ruler.
The show is a great way of promoting and educating people in recycling and showing the benefits of environmental improvements that we can make to our homes and lives, with some simple changes in our life styles.
A lot of work goes into putting the show together, the staff that organise Planet Havering do a fantastic job, with not a lot of resource. However, I do think that the show suffered in a little way by lack of support from the Administration, it was very late in the day that they agreed to fund the short fall after a major environmental backer pulled out.
The Residents Association made a budget allocation to expand this show from this year, however the Tories voted down our budget, so there was no extra money. We do hope though that they take note from one, our budget and secondly this web site (as I know the Tories read it, how else would they know what goes on in Collier Row) and actually put the proper resource behind the show next year.
