Thank you James. It is so good when a citizen joins in the struggle and takes positive action. Playing the blame and complain game is much easier but it doesn't achieve a thing. On Mon, Feb 2, 2015 at 8:29 PM, James Cowley wrote: > *Attention: Candice Bossr - as per this email - Kindly, the emai

Rather try OBSID - they were the ones who planted the gardens there and organised the watering fountains - where people now wash! Do I dare open a hornets nest again and ask where are our foot patrollers? How do cameras in LMR assist me in Arnold St? How do they help with Station Road problems?

I COULD be wrong, but I don't think the Village Green is the responsibility of City Parks. Ebrahim does Barrington, Kiddies and Arnold - with conscientiousness. For *many *years there has been a debate as to who is responsible for the Village Green. I believe OBSID will know. Or try Paddy...

Then that's probably the problem: it's nobody's problem. The other smaller parks dotted around OBS are beautiful as you say. It's just sad that our most visible stretch of open ground is so shabby and unloved. I'll ask Paddy, thanks for the info! On 2 Feb 2015 16:17, "Rosemary Robins" wrote: >
