Victoria Park Friends

💦 Splash Pool season is here at #VictoriaPark! 💦 Open daily from today 11am–5pm through to the end of the summer holidays. We’ll do our best (promise!) to keep it running smoothly 🤞 If it looks quiet, try stepping on the pads — they trigger the fun! 😄 #MakeASplash pic.twitter.com/85c95bboVV

@MileEndComments @CllrMarcFrancis @TH_Labour @VickyParkLondon @ThGreenSandwich @friendsofmeath1 @FCARA_Bow @MeotraE3 @Uma_Kumaran @BGandSLabour @TheSliceTowHam @rushanaraali We asked about the out-of-order toilets. It was a problem with door locks that is now being resolved.

@CllrMarcFrancis @TH_Labour @VickyParkFriend @VickyParkLondon @ThGreenSandwich @friendsofmeath1 @FCARA_Bow @MeotraE3 @Uma_Kumaran @BGandSLabour @TheSliceTowHam @rushanaraali Could we just start with the basics - like making sure all the toilets work all the time? Can we have a record kept of how many days it takes for a toilet to be fixed - and maybe change the people “fixing” them?

Good to catch up with the Victoria Park Team. @TH_Labour's £12 million investment back in '09 restored Vicky Park to its former glory. But it needs ongoing investment in its horticulture, play areas + fabric. That's why we want the extra £ from festivals to be earmarked for parks

@MileEndComments @CllrMarcFrancis @TH_Labour @VickyParkLondon @ThGreenSandwich @friendsofmeath1 @FCARA_Bow @MeotraE3 @Uma_Kumaran @BGandSLabour @TheSliceTowHam @rushanaraali We will raise the issue of toilets being in disrepair / closed with the @VickyParkLondon managers at our AGM tomorrow, but it would be great if you came along and put your questions at The Hub from 2 pm

@VickyParkFriend @CllrMarcFrancis @TH_Labour @VickyParkLondon @ThGreenSandwich @friendsofmeath1 @FCARA_Bow @MeotraE3 @Uma_Kumaran @BGandSLabour @TheSliceTowHam @rushanaraali There’s absolutely nothing good about the new arrangements. Every time I visit MOST of the toilets in the hub next to the cafe are locked because they need repairs. Why not present statistics about the percentage of toilets working every day every month?

Dermot got in touch as he wanted something unique and meaningful for his friend who is getting married. Once signed off it was printed Framed and delivered within 24 hours. The perfect gift 🎁 #VictoriaPark #VickyPark

Spotted both female kingfishers down on the canal this morning. The younger of the two just as I was cycling home. She is spending most of her time on the stretch of Regent's Canal which borders @VickyParkFriend. #LondonBirds #nature #wildlife @CanalRiverTrust @Natures_Voice #kingfisher #kingfishers #birdphotography #eastlondon
