The Council would like to thank everyone who attended the first meeting of the Friends of Sweyne Park which took place on Tuesday 8th September at Sweyne Park School.
It was very useful to hear from park users about what they perceive are the problems in the park and what they would like to see in the park in future.
The Council hope to progress the development of the friends group further at the next meeting and provide feedback on what it is able to do to address some of the issues raised. In the meantime, the Council will look into introducing additional litter and dog waste bins by the new benches, however if you feel that they are required in other areas, please let the Council know.
With regards to signs about litter, the Council would like to thank Sharon Howell who has very kindly put up some laminated RSPCA ‘lethal litter’ posters in the park. The Council can provide additional posters if required.
For those people who attended the meeting, please can you contact beafriend@rochford.gov.uk with your contact details. Although details were collected at the meeting, some were difficult to read, and it would be useful to have an email address if you have one.
In addition, if you know of anyone who was unable to make the meeting or who would be interested in joining the Friends of Sweyne Park group and attending future meetings, then please ask them to contact the Council via the above email addresses.

thank you,Heather,for organising the meeting at Sweyne school,even though it was not very informative,it is the begining,I hope, of things to come. It was also good to see so many people feel strongly about their park.
As in all these types of meetings,lots of people want to have their say,so,with so with many people talking at once not a lot was achieved.
EARLY DAYS.
Please keep us informed of progress and hope to partake in another meeting.
Kind regards
Lesley&Rob Hollier
