Half Term Activities -Hot Press

HALF TERM ACTIVITIES -FLOODED FAMILIES

Residents in the Derringham Area have been informed by Council Officials about the free activities programme that the Area Team has arranged for flood affected families during the autumn half term. Over 400 people have so far been given places on the activities, with trips to Flamingo Land and Eureka being the most popular choices.

Around 100 places are still available on the remaining activites, although these too are booking up quickly. Obviously, due to financial and space limitations, it has not been possible to give everyone who has called their first choice of activity, however no-one has been turned away for any other reason. Places remain for tenpin bowling, a trip to The Deep and a Halloween Party, for those who wish to take them up.

Due to the great popularity of this initiative, a similar programme over the Christmas holidays, may be run if funding is secured. Where people have requested places on trips that are full and have declined the offer of a place on an alternative trip, we have taken their contact details and will be getting in touch with them when a new programme of events is arranged, to give them first priority for places.

• Shropshire Close-an issue brought to Cllr Rouse-Deane in 2005, is progressing since the Laws changed and a Petition organised.
• Willerby Road - Cllr Rouse-Deane is glad that after his initial Complaint and recent negotiations with Council Officials and Mr Codd from Hansons that the Central Reservation will be restored to its original condition.
• Hove Road Playing Fields, after the article in Cllr. Rouse-Deane's Newsletter, it was interesting to find that the Youth of the Area were glad of the improvements.
• Wymersley Park- Cllr Rouse-Deane is now happy to hear that the 20MPH Zoning is forthcoming and the concern shown by attending regular meetings with RESIDENTS that the £9,000 of new Lighting is money well spent and the MUGA will soon be installed.
• Anti Social Behaviour- Current issues in Julian close and in the shires have been of great concern and it is good to hear that peace will reign in Julian Close when the family leaves in the next few weeks.
  

Please comment on issues of concern in the Ward

During the past week we have received a small number of comments on blog posts that were either malicious, offensive or contained unsolicited advertising. We clearly cannot allow comments to be published on this blog that are likely to offend, yet at the same time we are keen to encourage residents in Derringham to comment and discuss publicly, issues that are of concern in the Ward.

We have decided therefore to moderate the comments - This will mean a small delay between the time you post a comment and it being published so that we can check that comments are appropriate, however this is the only practical way to stop offensive comments and unsolicited advertising.

We apologise for this inconvenience - and do ask that you continue to post your comments.
