Friends of Havering Country park


I attended the “Friends of Havering Country Park” meeting last night, a good turnout of 20 plus residents who live near to or use the park were present. It is good to see such a committed bunch of residents working to improve the park.

Also presents were James Rose, the parks development officer and two of the Safer Neighbourhood Police team. We discussed lots of issues around the cleaning and maintenance of the park and funding issues, such as how to spend the capital allocation of £37k that the park has got for improvements.

We also spoke about future fundraising ideas and have agreed to go with a Quiz Night in April, more details to follow about that soon once confirmed.

If you are interested in joining the friends group, or becoming involved, or even just finding out what they do, drop me a line at Andrew.mann@havering.gov.uk and I will pass on your details to the group.

Cllr Andrew Mann
