Harold Wood, Hill, Park Residents' Association Harold Wood, Hill, Park Residents’ Association 22 February 2020 By Email to: [email protected] Local Government Boundary Commission for England Re: London Borough of Havering – Boundary Commission Review – Harold Wood Ward The Harold Wood Hill Park Residents’ Association which currently covers the existing Harold Wood ward would like to make a submission on the consultation for our area. Harold Wood is a 3 Member Ward with a Projected Electorate in 2025 of around 12,083 residents with a 8% variance. Harold Wood is located towards the east of the borough, with the majority of the ward running south of the A12 Arterial Road and north of the A127 Arterial Road, both of which merge at the Gallows Corner roundabout, heading eastwards towards the M25 motorway and into Essex. Harold Wood train station sits within the northern half of the ward and is the congregation point for much daily activity in the ward given its links into Romford and central London. A parade of shops is also located in close proximity to the station, as is the local bus terminus. The area also includes the local Post Office and library. The residential areas of the ward are confined to the north and west in close proximity to the train station and the A12 and north of the River Ingrebourne. Harold Wood hospital closed at the end of 2006 and has been replaced by a residential project called Kings Park, an NHS polyclinic and the Havering campus of London South Bank University. St. Peter’s RC Church is located in close proximity along Gubbins Lane. Contained within the ward is an area to the north of the A12, into Harold Hill. This area is within the existing borough ward configuration and we do not propose to change this. Similarly, towards the south-western edges of the ward an area that cuts in from the A127 and is currently within the Emerson Park Ward, this is a feature of the existing ward configuration which can be seen in Figure 1 drawing of the current Ward. Our proposal to the Boundary Commission would be to extend our ward boundary to take in those roads that currently sit within the Emerson Park Ward and this can be seen in the proposed ward layout in figure 2. There are several other features in this area which help to define the ward including: •Harold Wood Cricket Club •Gallows Corner Retail Park and Industrial Estate •Bates Industrial Estate •Pages Wood •Tylers Common •Redden Court School •Harold Wood Primary School. We would therefore request that consideration to the proposed ward layout in figure 2 is agreeable by the Boundary Commission. If you have any further questions or comments then please contact us.

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions. The All London Green Grid SPG was developed in parallel with the area frameworks it can be found at the following link: http://www.london.gov.uk/publication/all-london- green-grid-spg . Cover Image: The river Rom near Collier Row As a key partner, the Thames Chase Trust welcomes the opportunity to continue working with the All Foreword London Green Grid through the Area 3 Framework.

  • Havering and East London Group – Annual Report 2019
    Essex Area Ramblers Havering and East London Group – Annual Report 2019 Another year has soon passed and that means another report from Havering and East London Group Our AGM in October was interesting as we had James Rose from Havering Council as the speaker. James told us that his duties covered parks and open spaces as well as footpaths. Previously, in July, Chair Person Ellen Owen and member Mickey Doyle had a meeting with James to discuss path problems. They were advised that Thames Chase had a schedule of paths that they clear for the council in our area. There are 10 trained volunteers, The Council pays Thames Chace trust £200 per clearance. This should help us a lot as we have still not been able to find a Footpath Officer. Adrian Vincent Jones led a walk from Rainham to Grays during the Festival of Water week in October. The day before Peter Owen led from Harold Wood to Rainham following, as close as possible, the River Ingrebourne. The groups outing during the year was not a coach but a train ramble. Members caught a train from Stratford International and had a speedy journey to Margate, then a coastal walk to Broadstairs. This meant that we could turn up at Stratford on the day. No need to book in advance. Ellen and Peter Owen organised two pub dinners during the year, as well as the Christmas lunch. These were well attended and we look forward to more social events this year. As usual we would welcome more walk leaders. Any gaps on the programme can be filled at short notice by notifying the Rambles Secretary and they can be e-mailed around the group.

SUMMARY The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) is undertaking a review of the London Borough of Havering’s local government electoral arrangements. The outcome of the review being implemented in readiness for the 2022 Council elections. In September 2019, the Council recommended to the Commission that it retain its existing cohort size of 54 (Part 1 submission). The Commission subsequently informed the Council that it was minded to agree to the proposal. For its Part 2 submission on warding arrangements, the Council proposes a pattern of 22 wards across a total membership of 56 councillors. The proposal gives a councillor / elector ratio of 1:3728 (by 2025). The Council considers that it has drawn up a ward arrangement which the Boundary Commission will find acceptable by meeting the statutory criteria for a successful electoral review. 2. ABOUT THE BOROUGH Havering is an outer London borough and the third largest in London, comprising 43 square miles. It is mainly characterised by suburban development, with almost half of the area dedicated to open green space, particularly to the east of the borough.
