RECOMMENDATION That the Sub Committee note the petition and are advised that improved security measures for cemeteries, including Northwood, are currently being considered in the Borough Parks Strategy. INFORMATION 1. The opening and closing of the cemetery gates was formally undertaken by the Mobile Park Warden Service. The service ceased in 1997, following a committee decision in October 1996. Therefore, it became no longer possible for the gates to be secured on a daily basis. 2. The resultant lack of security led to a number of concerns being raised by relatives and friends of those buried in the cemetery. Following consultation, an agreement was reached with the Ground Maintenance contractors. The contractors will open and close the cemetery gates from Monday through to Thursday, subject to staff availability. As there are no staff on duty at weekends, it is not possible to secure the gates in the evenings. The gates are therefore left open throughout the weekend as this is one of the most popular visiting times. Although officers are aware of the security risk that this presents, the service does not have the resources to address the problem. 3. The system currently in place for the security of the gates during the week will be in place until March 1998, when the cemeteries opening hours change to “summer time”. It will thus become necessary to seek an alternative solution to the problem. 4. The current arrangements are not ideal. This matter is being addressed as part of the Parks Strategy being developed by Recreational Services. The strategy will examine the problems that have arisen since the cessation of the Parks Warden Service. One of the options being considered is to introduce a Parks and Woodlands Ranger Service. It is intended that this new service will police and enforce the bylaws and regulations of the parks, open spaces, woodlands and cemeteries. The service will also provide an official Council presence in these areas. 5. These options may be subject to necessary funding being available. 6. A detailed report on the Parks Strategy will be presented to the June Leisure Sub-committee. Director of Finance comments 7. There are no financial implications arising from the proposals in the report. Background documents Petition from residents Leisure Sub-Committee report 26th February 1998 Page 1 PETITION - REQUEST TO REMOVE BENCH FROM ROCKINGHAM ITEM 2 RECREATION GROUND, UXBRIDGE (Uxbridge South Ward) Contact officer : David Bryant Telephone: 01895 250416 Summary This report informs the Sub-Committee of the receipt of a second petition that complains about disturbances and anti-social behaviour by young people gathering in Rockingham recreation ground and suggests the removal of a bench from the Recreation Ground. Recommendation That the action taken by officers be noted That the situation be further monitored and reported to the next Uxbridge Police Sector Project Team. If the Project Team recommends alternative action, a further report be made to the Sub-Committee. Information 1. A petition of 60 signatures has been received complaining about disturbances caused in the area of Austin Waye, Uxbridge, by groups of young people. The specific complaints in the petition include · gatherings of young people from 4pm until 12.30am all year round, creating noise, using offensive language, under age drinking, kicking cans and bottles around and scattering litter. · smashing glass bottles and scattering broken glass on the grass areas where it could cause injuries to children and animals · youths urinating against cars and fences near to the bench · discarded condoms, syringes and needles being found by residents · youths damaging trees by peeling off bark 2. Other incidents that the petition mentions are:- · smashing of glass bottles against residents houses · vandalism, e.g. broken car wing mirror, damage to fences, punching car tyres · racial abuse · gatherings of young people with baseball bats and iron bars and behaving in an aggressive and threatening manner · attempted theft of residents cars 3. The petition organiser suggests removal of the bench where the young people gather and more policing by the homebeat officer. The issue was discussed at the October meeting of the Uxbridge Police Sector Project Team, that comprises representatives of the Police and appropriate Council Groups, and the Police agreed that the beat officer would be requested to patrol the area regularly. Visits have now taken place and the beat officer has spoken to the young people. 4. Youth Workers will also periodically visit the area with a view to encouraging the young people to attend Fountains Mill youth centre in Uxbridge. 5. As regards the suggestion made that bench be removed, Police advice is that this would in all likelihood cause the young people to shift to another location. This request was considered by the last meeting of the Sub-Committee when it accepted that the bench should not be removed, based on the advice from the Police. Leisure Sub-Committee report 26th February 1998 Page 2 6. The Sub-Committee is asked to note the action taken by officers and to give instructions as to whether the bench is to be removed. Director of Finance comments 7. The cost of any action taken needs to be contained within existing revenue budgets, if the Council’s policy of containing net expenditure to within set limits is to be achieved. Background Documents Petition from residents received February 1998. Leisure Sub-Committee report 26th February 1998 Page 3 HILLINGDON MUSEUM WORKING PARTY ITEM 3 Contact Officer : Maria Newbery Telephone : 01895 250702 SUMMARY Following a decision taken at the Leisure Sub Committee 19 June 1997 a working party was set up with the brief “To draw up details for the funding and management of a possible future Borough Museum”. It is now proposed to widen this brief in order for the working party to make further progress. RECOMMENDATION That, in addition to its original brief, the Museum Working Party is requested to identify one or more locations in Uxbridge suitable for housing a future Borough Museum and to establish the availability and cost of these locations for this purpose. INFORMATION 1. The Working Party has spent considerable time discussing the details relating to the funding and management of a museum, both within and outside the auspices of the local authority. 2. Members of the Working Party have visited three museums with different management and funding arrangements; Harrow Museum is an independent museum run by Harrow Arts Council and with some funding from Harrow Council. Richmond Museum is an independent museum, run by Richmond Museum Trust. It receives no grant from Richmond Council. Wandsworth Museum is run by Wandsworth Council. 3. During the discussions it has become clear that the Working Party is unable to reach a conclusion until such time that a building has been secured for the purpose of a Borough Museum. 4. It is proposed that the Working Party is requested to examine possible museum sites in Uxbridge and establish their availability for this purpose. DIRECTOR OF FINANCE COMMENTS: 5. There is no funding available within the Council’s capital or revenue programmes to establish such a facility. It is important for the Working Party to establish a financial plan for the costs of providing and running the facility with specific reference to its funding by maximising income and external funding.

  • Common Right Assertion a Thesis Submitted to Middlesex University In
    Enclosure Resistance in Middlesex, 1656 - 1889: A Study of Common Right Assertion A thesis submitted to Middlesex University in partial fulfilment of the requirementsfor the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Paul Carter School of Humanities and Cultural Studies August 1998 BEST COPY AVAILABLE Variable print quality I ABSTRACT This study provides a detailed examination of resistance to enclosure in Middlesex from the closing stagesof the English Republic to the late Victorian period. The evidence presentedin the following chapters establishesthat resistancewas widely spread both over time, (before, during and after any individual enclosure) and geographical location within the county. The study itself is divided into four general sections. The first section is divided into two chapters each having a separatefunction in setting the sceneprior to examining any of the Middlesex evidence. The first chaptersets out both the terminologyused by contemporariesand later by historiansto describe farming practice in general and the enclosure process in particular. Contemporaries, whether agriculturists or commentators on rural life, and historians have a myriad of terms and conventions to explain the way in which life was organised in the countryside of the past. This introduction to the terminology is necessary. Although I am primarily concerned with labour, and the transition from a rural community with access to the material benefits of common rights to one of exclusive wage dependence, it is still required that we are able to understand the description of agricultural practices as this transition progresses. The second chapter is an examination of previous historians' analysis of enclosure, and their accounts of the responsesof commoners to enclosure and the threat of enclosure.

  • The Hillingdon Trail
    The Hillingdon Trail A short story by Brandon Butterfield Whilst sitting at home one day, eating junk food and watching the television, the sound of a letter sliding through the letterbox caused me to spring to my feet. Who could be sending little old me a letter I wondered. I brushed the crumbs from my t-shirt and walked to the door to peruse over this exciting prospect. Low and behold it was a copy of the local publication, The Hillingdon People, curled into a cone and waiting for me to unravel it. I reached for the purpley-grey covered copy and began flipping through the pages. I always enjoy a bit of insight into the local happenings and hoo-has in Hillingdon, so I decided to close the booklet for the time being and save the juicy contents for later, when I could browse through the articles properly with a cup of coffee in the garden. When the sun was high in the sky, I popped the kettle on and made my caffeinated drink. No milk, no sugar. I brought my mug outside with The Hillingdon People rolled in my other hand, ready to uncover the latest local news while I soaked up some sun. I pulled up a wooden chair to my garden table, took a sip of my eye widening beverage, and began thumbing through the contents of the glossy publication. There were pieces about recent outdoor improvements that had been made in parks and on the Polish War Memorial, an article detailing the ongoing support the council is providing to elderly residents during the pandemic, and several other interesting tidbits to give food for thought.
