Removal of the Slide

Oh I know bloggers are meant to do things more frequently that once every 15 months. But, hey, if there's nothing to say then why say anything :). It's very windy today isn't it?

Anyway, you may have noticed that the big slide has gone. I know this has raised one or two eyebrows, but unfortunately the slide wasn't safe. A report from RoSPA had raised concerns over a number of areas in the Park including the slide and so it was decided that the best option was to remove it. We are currently considering the best way to replace it and, at the same time, to make the park a more inviting and usable space for the entire Worcester Park community.

Watch this space.

Membership...

The cost of joining the residents' association remains a very competitve £5 per year. Membership entitles you to stand for the committee and to vote at the AGM. We are also working on a number of other potential member benefits and hope to be able to bring you news of these soon. Cheques should be made payable to "the Hamptons Residents Association" and if you pass them to your rep they will forward them to the treasurer. You can also pay by direct debit!

Don't Cr@p On Your Own Doorstep

Or mine come to that.

Now as a discerning reader of this blog, I know that you're not responsible for letting your dog foul the Hamptons, but it seems that someone is. Since the start of the year there have been at least three incidences of dog fouling on the verge on Lewiston Close. Not cleaning up after your dog is an offence, extremely unhygienic and, of course, anti-social.

If you happen to spot anyone not cleaning up after their dog, please let Dennis (or the Council)know and we can tackle to problem at source.

The contact details for the dog warden service at Sutton can be found here:

If you are having similar problems outside your home please let the residents association know (hamptonsresidents@googlemail.com) so that we can take action.

If you are in any doubt about the health hazard posed by dog faeces...check this out:

Traffic Speeds

Sitting here, as I do, looking out of my window onto the Hamptons I cant fail to notice the speeds of some of the cars coming onto the development.

The Hamptons has a maximum speed limit of just 10 miles per hour. This is in place to protect children and other residents as well as to minimise the risk of collision at junctions which are unmarked (and will remain so).

The problem seems to have worsened since the speed bumps were removed from the front of the development. This was done to reduce the noise issues for those people living on Sherbroke Way not to promote faster site speeds!

Please remember to check your speed as you come onto site and to keep to the 10 mph limit.

Dennis on Holiday

Dennis is returning to Vancouver for a winter holiday...so if you need him, grab him quick (sorry Dennis!)

He leaves on Tuesday 22 January for fifteen days.

Happy New Year

A belated Happy New Year to all our readers!
