GIDEA PARK STATION ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS
Improvements are to be made to the street entrance to Gidea Park station from Station Lane, and to the street environment around the shops in this part of Gidea Park and Balgores Lane. We have raised the issue of improvements being in keeping with the setting of Gidea Park Conservation Area here, as the station is at the southern end of this area.
LODGE FARM PARK
Romford Rotary Club kindly donated over 3,000 crocus bulbs which were planted behind the borders at the Main Road entrance to the park and made such a beautiful sight this Spring. The donation was intended to raise awareness of the Rotary Club "Purple Pinkie" campaign for the eradication of polio world wide, and particularly refer to the fact that newly born children in India, Pakistan and Afghanistan have a finger dipped in purple ink after having been immunised against polio, thereby giving them "purple pinkies"! The Romford Rotary Club raised over £4,000 for this good cause.
