Friends of Central Parks (Update)


It' s been a couple of months since Community Builders helped facilitate an inittal meeting for the Southampton Central Parks Ranger, Gary Oscroft, who is setting up a friends of the park group. So Stuart popped down to the Park Cafe on a warm monday evening, to see how they are getting on. There were 14 people down there, from places as far away as Eastleigh and Chandlers Ford, all keen to get involved in a community consultation and support group that will help influence the direction of the parks in the future.
Gary and John managed the meeting very well, and made sure everyone there got a say. The next meeting is on monday 14th July 7pm at Hoglands Pavillion. For anyone interested in the Parks, and wanting something interesting and rewarding to get involved in, this would be a very good group to join!
We have been pleased to have helped Gary in the initial stages, and wish the project every future success.
