Park maintenance to be reduced

I am dismayed to hear that 82 out of 100 Ealing parks are to have their maintenance reduced. I'm really keen to know which of our Acton parks will be affected.I gather there is a problem with the contract. No surprise there of course. Could one of the current Acton councillors tell us a bit more?

Thanks Kim. However it doesn't say which parks.

I have asked the current councillors to identify the parks affected. In the meantime is there any support for my suggestion that ward forum money be used to put up signs asking people to take their rubbish home? I appreciate street drinkers might find that difficult but if we don't take some action the parks will become unusable in hot weather

I don't see how the council can just leave it - there aren't even enough bins and they fill up in less than a day in decent weather.

The Council’s response to this is interesting, more for what who is saying it rather than what is being said. The normally irrepressible Bassam Mahfouz doesn’t miss a chance to have his say on all matters environmental (preferably accompanied with a picture of his cheeky beaming face) but all we have is a statement from an anonymous officer – clearly not a decision that the Labour administration is rushing to take credit for.
