Target: London Borough of Tower Hamlets
Region: United Kingdom
Result:
Thanks to everyone who signed and supported this campaign the petition is being submitted to The Council and a group of Parents & Supporters are attending The LBTH Cabinet Meeting next Wednesday the 14th at 5pm to ask a question of The Mayor about this important issue.
Background (Preamble):
Victoria Park has recently undergone a £12.3 million refurbishment including the expansion and renewal of its playgrounds.
The playgrounds should protect the health and welfare of small children from avoidable harm. However, the children's playgrounds have had fences removed and there are no current plans for their reinstatement. This now results in children under 5 being able to leave the playground easily and dogs defecating in the playgrounds.
This petition will now close 8th March to be handed in to the LBTH Cabinet on 14th March to give a better chance of action before the building works finish.
