Post on 10-Jul-2018
Letter from the Chairman. Dear Residents I do hope you will all enjoy the summer holiday period
and make use of our open space facilities here in
Orchard Park, these areas are inspected and litter-
picked each day, however if you notice issues
or excessive litter accumulating please get in touch
with the Clerk or Community Centre Manager on Tel:
01223 420750.
It was really nice to see many of you at our
annual family Summer Fiesta on 16th July, there were
lots of amusements and activities for children during
the afternoon and the adults were not left out as the
Fiesta was compered by ‘Heavy Soul’ who delighted
us with some great summer sound-tracks from past
decades. Each year we hope to build on this event
making it grow with our community. If you would like
to join the committee and help form a bigger and bet-
ter Fiesta next year, please get in touch.
Sadly crime on Orchard Park has increased during
2016, however the Community Council are liaising with
our crime prevention officers, who are working hard to
combat these unacceptable offences.
Increased patrols and surveillance have been
introduced and the neighbourhood watch programme
which is active within the community is being
refreshed with new members. For more information
on how to join please contact the Clerk at the
Community Centre.
Keep checking the website for forthcoming community
events. Keep safe and enjoy the summer.
