Kingsway Large Park

Tuesday, May 17th, 2011 by @thatcham

Once again the park is a disgrace and currently unsafe for the children for whom it is intended to be able to play; the floor is strewn with broken glass.

It continues to astound me as to how inconsiderate youths that frequent the park can be.

Does anyone know who should be contacted in order for this mess to be cleaned up?

Does anyone think that extra bins (currently two already in the park) may encourage them to use the facility?

New Attraction On Thatcham: Metal Fence

Monday, January 24th, 2011 by @thatcham

Does anyone have any ideas why the builders have decided to turn one of the first green areas along Thatcham Avenue (that was starting to look respectable) into a dumping ground for gravel?

It’s all looking rather pretty now with it’s metal fence around it, however is there not wasteland available within the village elsewhere that will not require additional work to be done further down the road?
Not only will it take time to look as green as it was before, I suspect the curbs will need replacing (once again) following all the traffic!

Granted this area is still waiting for the path to join the road (how crazy and well though out is that) so I’m sure it will need to be dug up at some point in the future, but couldn’t the load have been dumped somewhere else in the meantime?

Respect Kingsway Park

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010 by @thatcham

Having recently attended the big park this morning, I was absolutely ashamed when I got there with my little child; the park was strewn with litter and the amount of graffiti evident within the skate park is not only offensive but is completely disgraceful.

I’m unsure if the litter was atypical of a Sunday morning but why isn’t this park being respected by the locals that use it? More to the point what was the point in installing a CCTV camera on the park, which is clearly not doing its job?
