There are a number of issues in and around Chapel End ward that will have an affect on your area, your life and that of your families.
We as your councillors would like to hear your views
You may have heard on the grapevine or local press about some of them.
You may have been involved with the CPZ issue or the St Johns Road petition.
Elsewhere in this edition of FOCUS we have outlined an idea about a 20 mph zone which could include one way streets.

· Closing the Pool & Track
· Building Houses on the Chestnuts Field and the Allotments
· Building Houses on the Monoux playing fields
· Parking

We will be holding surgeries around the ward over the summer.

The officers of the Chapel End Safer Neighbourhood team met with residents as part of the ward panel scheme. The team will see some changes in personnel, with Rob going to Hendon to train as a police officer. Other members will be joining the team and it will be up to full strength later this month.
Residents raised several issues around anti social behaviour in both Kitchener Park and the Chestnuts field.
They raised issues around litter and trees on the same sites
Your ward councillors have taken up these issues with officers to have them dealt with.
