Friends of Havering Country park

Cllr Mann was in attendance at the latest “Friends of Havering County Park” meeting held last Thursday evening; over 20 residents came along to have their say about the latest goings on in the park and to hear from parks officers the latest updates on work being carried out by the Council.

There was some disappointment that capital works planned have been very slow in being started, such as the new fencing along St Johns Road and new bins for litter and dog waste still to be placed in the park.

Cllr Mann said “The friends group have done a fantastic amount of work over the last 12 months in highlighting the issues facing local people; however the Council need to do more to support them in their aims, taking over 12 months to allocate and spend money on the park is not good enough”

The next meeting is being held on Thursday the 7th August at the North Romford Community Centre in Clockhouse Lane, just turn up, the meeting starts at 7.30pm. For more information about the group, you can e-mail them on fohcpg@googlemail.com
