Exciting news! Thanks to pressure from your local councillors and the work of
our Neighbourhood Manager, the Council (together with Islington) have organised
a ‘clean sweep’ project starting this weekend. The target is the area around the
Parkland Walk, Finsbury Park and Stroud Green Road.
This clean up is urgently needed and it is great that the council have listened
to complaints from us and residents. The idea is that everyone can pull
together – the Council, businesses and residents (young and old) - to tidy up
the neighbourhood in a spirit of civic pride.
Join us on the Parkland Walk - Saturday 13th November
Meet from 10am at the Upper Tollington Park entrance to the Parkland Walk and
join us to cut back vegetation and build a mini loggery for mini-beasts. We all
know what a lovely peaceful resource the Parkland Walk is - and what a great
place it is for children to learn about nature. We also know it needs constant
conservation. Please do join in! And if you do - REWARD is lunch at the
Osborne Group Nursing Home, 16-20 Upper Tollington Park, London, N4 3EL from
about 1pm.
Bring Unwanted Bulky Waste to our Community Skips - Saturday 13th November
Also on Saturday 13th November there will be community skips in Albert Road
(close to the junction with Stroud Green Road) where you can bring unwanted
bulky waste for disposal free or charge! (Please no ‘white goods’ though – no
fridges!). Council officers will be there to meet you from 10.00am until
1.00pm.
Dog Fouling Patrols
Local parents constantly tell us that the streets are being fouled by dogs being
walked over to the park. So dog fouling patrols will be a key part of the clean
sweep.
Cleaning up the Streets
The Council will also be deep cleaning the heavily stained local streets and
clearing gutters during the week, they will also be cutting back vegetation that
hangs over pavements. This is something we have been pressing them to do for a
while.
Please pass on any other ideas you might have for the clean sweep to Cllrs
Richard Wilson, Ed Butcher or me and we will send on to the Neighbourhood
Management Team at the Council.
Hoping to see you Saturday!
Happy cleaning!
All the best,
Cllr Katherine Reece
Stroud Green Ward Councillor, Liberal Democrat
Comments
Perhaps related, the Post Office didn't have its normal stall out front.
Sorry, can't do it myself, I'm away. Also dreamed about dog poo last night, very disturbing, what can this mean?
