Another potentially serious issue when walking through the long grass, is the risk of tick-borne diseases. The tick population is said to have exploded in recent years. So will Brent be responsible?claremountieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10072441541288005149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-19414987942347958552018-07-17T19:13:16.121+01:002018-07-17T19:13:16.121+01:00Great point Lorber.Great point Lorber.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17419322826872295307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-81091546585941108232018-07-17T17:30:44.281+01:002018-07-17T17:30:44.281+01:00As there is no signage in our Park stating the by-...As there is no signage in our Park stating the by-laws i.e no BBQ's and no Park Wardens to enforce them, it's only a matter of time if the hot weather persists.

Because Veolia contractors were tasked with cutting the parched grass and removing some of it from the fields. Otherwise we would have a possible evacuation issue for three residents' blocks (150-200) people. So for us it's thank you to Parks for being able to carry out this work. They need more funding. We just had a London Friends of Parks Groups' Steering Committee meeting at City hall last night and this is an issue for all London open spaces. All 600 member groups are very concerned. Please start Friends Groups and join the Movement. www.lfgn.org.uk <br />TWEET: @LDNgreenspaces North Brent Parks Forumhttp://www.lfgn.org.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-18972612663479299592018-07-16T22:28:57.502+01:002018-07-16T22:28:57.502+01:00There is another serious H&S issue with the &#...There is another serious H&S issue with the 'Medows policy'. Where there are trees and bushes, previously these areas have been cleared of any undergrowth, I believe in order to remove potential cover and to deter unsavoury activities, particularly close to children's play areas.claremountieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10072441541288005149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-74164483459976880322018-07-16T15:17:29.939+01:002018-07-16T15:17:29.939+01:00There was a grass fire at Little Marlow a couple o...There was a grass fire at Little Marlow a couple of weeks ago in addition to those stated. <br />There are glass bottles plus pieces of broken glass in the rubbish that has been dumped in the now overgrown grass and with the excessive heat they are likely to cause the dry grass to ignite. Surely the most sensible action would be for Brent Council to get the grass cut. Cost is nothing compared to safety. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
