Friends of Parkland Walk: AGM
Got emailed this:
Notice of Annual General Meeting Meeting at 7.00 for 7.30pm on
Wednesday, 28th April 2010
Hornsey Library, Haringey Park N8
The AGM will start at 7.30 pm, but come before then (from 7.00 pm) and have a drink and some nibbles and meet other members.
Most, but not all, of the present Committee are willing to continue. Are you, or anyone you know, willing to assist us, even in a small way? Fresh ideas are always of value. Please send any nominations to the Secretary at least 48 hours before the AGM. We can co-opt on the night or through the year.
At the AGM the Committee will recommend keeping subscriptions as they are; that is a £1 joining fee, but as yet we do not see the need for a further annual sub. So if you paid once, you will still continue to be a ‘paid up’ member.
At the end of the bureaucratic part (we try to keep that part short), there will be workshop session with Ian Holt, the London Borough of Haringey Conservation Officer, to work with us on the emerging Management Plan for the Walk. This will be followed by a discussion, so this is your opportunity to contribute ideas about the future of the Walk. The Plan includes consideration of amenity issues such as the path surface and how to manage cycling, and how to develop a strategy on graffiti and anti-social behaviour, making the Walk feel safe and making it a ‘good neighbour’, as well as the questions of improving and conserving the ecology and wildlife. It will be both interesting and important! …. and more drinks at the end.
The Walk has seen many changes recently - is this enough? Should we be seeking more changes? Problems of finance and priority are on the horizon. What should happen next?
As well as the Management Plan, there are also new versions of the planning policy for the country, London and Haringey coming out. There are a lot of strategies on green issues being consulted upon. It is timely to influence these as a stakeholder group where we can.
During the year we send updates and information messages of all sorts by email, so if you have a new email address, please tell us so we can use the latest and best for keeping you informed.
C J Mason
Secretary

The graffiti adds a bit of urban colour, though they should really take away their paint pots.
But also saw the graff artist boys further up, who didn't seem to be that bothered, so maybe tolerance is rife on the walk. Hopefully so.
Running through the tunnel when they are spraying reminds me of being a teenager, which is kind of good, i think.
Some of the stuff in the tunnel and other alcoves is pretty good, and I've not really noticed much crap tagging along the walk.
We stopped taking the short cut on florence road to finsbury park because there were some kids at the top throwing stones and whatever esle they could find down at us so we couldn't even reach the stairs.
