  2. Just had to post this article in the hopes that Richmond Park one day will be up there among your favourite park’s. “Friends of Richmond Park” We are only a small group of local people , whose aim is to regenerate Richmond Park for all ages. Many of you will have memories of what Richmond Park was like and the facilities which it once held. The FORP Group is yet in its early stages. With ideas and visions of how Richmond Park could become the centre of the community. Richmond Park is such a valuable asset to the whole of the community and is right on your doorstep. In today’s society with all life’s stress and turmoil’s, it will be an asset to be able to walk, play, exercise in a large open green space. Help FORP put Richmond Park back on the map. Do you wish to see facilities for example: • Playground facilities for your children • Areas of quite reflections : perhaps a garden with seating • Football pitches We really do need your support . Why not come along to our next meeting… Raise a question, suggestion. Our next meeting is; Wednesday 19th September 2007 at 7pm St Catherine’s Church Hall Richmond Road.

  5. Sorry to have missed your posting. For future referance St Catherines Church Hall is on the corner of Richmond Road, Hastilar Road South and opposite "Fishponds". We have pencilled in Tuesday the 15th May at 7pm.for our next meeting, just waiting for confirmation of this date. If you would like contact details, I can send you them by PM. Mary 123. did attend the meeting. Thank you for this. All are most welcome to attend our meetings. "From Small Acorn's , Mighty Oak Trees form".
  6. In Reply To Mary 123: There is a meeting of the: Friends of Richmond Park this Tues 17th April at St Catherine's Church Hall at 7pm. You are most welcome to attend. We have undertaken an Audit of Richmond Park in order to produce an Action Plan for the Park. This will be discussed at our meeting. All are most welcome to come along. The aim of "Friends of Richmond Park " is to totally regenerate the Park for All..
  7. What A Sorry state of affairs is our Local Council up to, this appears to be No more than "Emotional Blackmail". No prize for guessing who would reap the cash from any sale of the existing Hospice...
  8. Because of lack of funding, Does this make it right for the Council to Dispose of irreplaceable Green Spaces? 106 Monies releases a small percentage back into the area for improvements, whilst the Council reap a Substantial cash flow from any sale of land.
  9. Would the Head of Department at the recent meeting be no other than the : Head of Parks and Countryside?
  10. Just like to say “ Thanks” to those of you who have posted helpful comments.( Regarding issues of the possibility of development in the Areas Known as Richmond Park). Hopefully clarification should be reached on this matter at the meeting. The “Friends of Richmond Group” is still in its infancy stage, having yet to elect a full committee and adopt a constitution. It is with this in mind that I once again post the date, time and venue of the next meeting.. Wednesday 24th January at 7pm. St. Catherine’s Church Hall, Corner of Richmond Rd & Hastilar Rd South, Opposite “Fishponds”. Kindest Regards Camz.
  11. There were a few “ coincidences” which came to light during the early stages of forming a Friends Group of Richmond Park. The “Misunderstandings” of the Green Space Spokesperson on Wednesday 29th Nov. meeting who said “the only way forward to fund improvements in Richmond Park would be to sell part of the park which would release 106 monies”. 106 monies releases a small percentage back into the area, whilst the council would reap a substantial cash flow from any sale of land.. Cllr’s conversation at the meetings and in private conversations to individual members of the friends group have only fuelled the speculation of building, eg. Green Space Spokesperson when asked about the areas concerned to be sold off: Replied: “The Field and a Thin narrow strip down Normanton Hill.. Exact Areas that were related in a telephone call before the meeting on the 6th Nov… This was a Cllr’s personal opinion that he would not be against a little building. He later confirmed that he would not be against building at the meeting held on 29th Nov.. He also stated that he was not aware of any plans to sell any part of Richmond Park.. Cllr’s conversation with one member regarding the fact that if development went ahead this would mean added security by new street lighting and Anti Social Behaviour would be reduced by the fact that they would be overlooked.. Also it was stated by a Woodthorpe Development worker (at the meeting held on the 29th Nov) that City School in 4 years time was earmarked to be built on the bottom fields and nearer to the park? Is this a misunderstanding as well! Then the surface of the memo which prompted the petition which raised 236 signatures in less than 24hrs. The petition requested that the council guarantee no such sale will take place in the Areas Known as Richmond Park.. It also requested that Richmond Park be protected and brought up to the standard of other district parks. We thank Cllr Lodge for his response confirming that Richmond Park is not to be sold. However we find his post regarding the transcript and original memo confusing. We would appreciate a map of the exact boundaries of Richmond Park and the Plans for the Areas Know as Richmond Park which includes the “Cornfield”, to be made available for the “Friends of Richmond Park” meeting to be held on Wednesday 24th January. Could it be that we have been dangled a carrot by the council, in the hope that we would seize the 106 monies which would be created by the sale of land? Or are they also just misunderstandings?
  12. Will the Cabinet Member arrange for the Head of Planning to attend the Meeting?
