Crime on Parkview

It was brought to our attention via NextDoor that on the Parkview Estate, there is a high rate of car break-ins. This morning, one of our coordinators went around the estate and indeed found one car windscreen smashed. We will post pics of all problems we found here, anonymised of course.

A picture was taken and the matter was reported to police and CAD 1183/31Mar22 was allocated.

We can offer residents a specific ASB / crime WhatsApp group to let us know immediately when they have become aware of a problem. We can only deal with what we know and then also raise the matter at the SNT Ward Panel. Please let us know if you wish to become a Neighbourhood Watch member and part of a Parkview WhatsApp group. Register for Neighbourhood Watch here and join the Parkview Neighbourhood Watch group. You can then ask to join a WhatsApp group Parkview specific.

Spring’s already on Parkview

Just coming back from the Globe Town market, where we can buy fresh produce and household goods from our excellent local shops and market stalls and I can see the most beautiful spring flowers blooming on our estate. Thanks to all the volunteers who planted the bulbs, that now delight us. Also a variety of shrubs bloom at different times of year.

We love well-maintained areas with planting.

St. James’ Square

It’s all been planted up and looking nice.

Swan rescue on Parkview Estate

Today, 4th. January 2022, we started the year with the dramatic rescue of a swan, who flew into one of our trees along Sewardstone Road. A resident called the Fire brigade at 9:15. Fire brigade arrived with 2 engines and rescued the swan from the tree. The swan was stuck for a mere 45 minutes. The fire brigade reacted quickly and did their best.

Two members from a Swan Rescue organisation, took the swan and put the animal, barely alive, into their car to attempt to save the animal.

Thank you

Just want to express a heartfelt thank you to our caretakers and maintenance staff who regularly keep our estate clean.

We really do appreciate your tireless efforts to keep stairs, walk ways, waste and recycling areas to a good standard. It can’t always be easy with some people dumping rubbish without regard to the rest of us. Caretakers always try their best to manage dumped rubbish and keep overflowing bins at a reasonable standard until waste collections take place. To report a waste problem you can use the LYN App and also up-load a picture of your concern.

Please respect our caretakers.

Also thank you to our local Safer Neighbourhood Team officers who come and patrol our estate to ensure our safety. They are always available to contact by email and by phone 0208 721 2849. Though their shift patterns vary, you can leave a message. If you want to get a reference for your contact please use the online SNT Met Service.

Festive food parcels were delivered to elderly, vulnerable residents on Parkview estate, who cherished them and thanked all the volunteers to bought, assembled, prepared and delivered the food.
