Local residents in Thornton Heath has recently arranged and hosted a resident’s event in Thornton Heath Rec to look at ways of tackling anti-social behavior and poor dog control. Over 60 residents attended, many of them elders, who looked at ways in which the community could make the park safer for dog walkers and others. Also in attendance were Councilor Audsley, and the neighbourhood police team, dog wardens and the local enforcement officer. Actions identified included an information poster, what’s app group and regular feedback from councilor and police (who will step up patrols). Thornton Heath Recreation Ground was one of the earlier open spaces to be acquired by the Council in 1884.
