The Party in the Park 2011 - another great success
Hundreds enjoyed an afternoon of free fun for children on Saturday 9 July, including face painting, a magician and a bouncy castle. Many local organisations had stalls; around 30 cooks baked cakes and savouries which we sold to help pay for it all. A raffle with generous prizes from local businesses, and a tombola, also helped fund the afternoon, as did a grant from the Benyon Estate.
Special thanks to Cllr Jessica Webb, deputy speaker of Hackney Council, for coming and enjoying the fun and for drawing the raffle (below left). Meg Hillier MP also joined us.
Thanks also to the police and CSOs from the De Beauvoir Safer Neighbourhood Team and mounted police from Kings Cross stables. Green watch from Kingsland Fire Station also came.
... and many more too numerous to mention gave their time or helped in other ways.

PLANNING

The Kingsland Conservation Area Advisory Committee, which has an official role to comment on planning applications and covers De Beauvoir, has its own website.  It publishes its comments on applications. Email them if you would like to get involved.

 
If you want to find details of a planning application, or see what has been proposed for your road, look at the Council's planning website. You can search by street or by individual application if you know the number. Then you can comment online on an application.

 
If you hear from the Council or some other way about an application in De Beauvoir, please let us know by email and we will spread the word.
