Park Locking to Continue

I am forwarding you the message below from Councillor Rod Scott . Very good news indeed ( for now ! )
We must express our thanks to all the local councillors and to RAWW who opposed the proposal to leave the parks unlocked, and to all of you who wrote so many letters. They were noticed and commented on.

Mo Hammond is contacting Dave Byles ( parks manager) to see what the situation is re us unlocking the parks April to October -- as we have been doing . Mo will be in touch soon.
If there is anyone who would be willing to join the rota please contact Mo: hammondmo@talktalk.net

we hope to see you at the Annual Meeting Sunday 13th March, 10.30 coffeee 11am meeting

with all good wishes
Jill


SENT ON BEHALF OF CLLR ROD SCOTT

I am pleased to be able to say that at the Council budget meeting last night, alternative savings were found to enable the present arrangement of locking parks and gardens at night to continue for another year. This `reprieve` will enable discussions between the Friends groups, residents associations and others, with the council to take place with a view to finding a longer term solution while the present needs to find large council money savings continue. For example, this may be `remote locking`, the possibility of which will be examined.

At the same meeting, the council proposal that only one Community Forum meeting per year in each area, including Raynes Park, would be supported by the council, was modified to provide some support for the other three forum meetings per year if communities (as I believe we will wish to do in Raynes Park) themselves wish to continue with such forums as a means of community engagement and communication.

Best wishes

Councillor Rod Scott
Raynes Park Ward
