Parish chief moves to quash 'rumours' over park (From Bucks Free Press)

why does it take a campaign and days of rumour before a public official speaks out ?

always react to the news, rather than setting it imo

It took one neighbour to call in to remove the ramps?? We've been doing it wrong!

It shouldn't be an action, we just need one phone call! That's all it takes to get things done.

Quick someone get me that one neighbour. get them to make a call and get the rest of the problems fixed!

Actually I am surprised they didn't have a whinge about the noise the Cherry Fayre made.

That's the opposite to what Herschell said.

Have been away which is why I've been quiet. I was very interested in the article in the BFP re filming of children using the playing fields A camera was hidden behind the fascia board of a certain property. It was reported to the police who then said it was a parish council matter as the children were being filmed on parish council land. Jeff Herschel of the parish council said it is not illegal to film children on the playing fields even though you are not even allowed to film your own child at the annual nativity play! The police then informed us that the camera was a dummy! Well, excuse me, but the purpose of a dummy camera is to act as a deterrent and normally they are very conspicuous and placed in a prominent position for that purpose. Nobody would climb up to roof level, remove the end capping of the fascia board in order to secrete a "dummy" camera within. What purpose would it serve? Apparently the camera had been there for some time before being observed by a certain eagle-eyed person. Jeff Herschel has stated that he has seen images of children using the playing fields on the camera owner's computer. Clever dummy camera eh?
In the very first article re. removal of the skate-park Jeff Herschel stated that it was very unlikely to be reinstated in the playing field due to the large number of mainly unproven complaints of anti-social behaviour.I shouldn't think there are any plots of land going spare in Flackwell Heath which would be suitable for a Skate-park/BMX facility due to the building frenzy on every available plot in Flackwell Heath over the last forty years. The parish council are being threatened with legal action over the siting of the existing skate-park which is not to present day guide-lines and also doesn't suit the complainants..
However in recent cases where members of the public have sued parish councils re: recreation parks the judges have ruled against the complainants. They don't generally seem to like people who move close to playing field and then complain when they are used for playing in.

There is Parish council meeting at the council office in **** Lane, Tyler's Green tomorrow at 7 o'clock when the future of the skate park will be discussed. Members of the public are invited to attend and the more people who do so the better.
Thank you to everyone who signed the petitions

The stupid censor has blocked out the name of the road where the parish council offices are. You will have to guess from the clues. It is what you call a male chicken. Also it is a slang term for dangly male "bits". It has four letters.
It starts with c and ends with k and has oc in the middle

Have just heard that the meeting planned for Thursday evening at the parish council offices re: the skate-park has been CANCELLED.
