Local residents will have noticed that the Council opened a new BMX track at Hornfair Park at the start of September; however, Greenwich Conservatives Leader Councillor Spencer Drury writes that the park tells visitors much more about what is wrong with Labour’s policy for parks around our borough. 

Ex-Kidbrooke with Hornfair Conservative Councillors Andy Jennings and Graeme Coombes have been elected as Councillors once again just a year after leaving office in Greenwich. 

Andy chose to stand down when he moved to St Neots in Huntingdon and Graeme moved to Bedford shortly after losing the election in Greenwich last May.  Recognising the excellent qualities of both these candidates, local Conservative Associations swiftly nominated them to stand as Councillors in May 2011. 

Residents in Broad Walk, Woolacombe Road & Mayday Gardens in Kidbrooke with Hornfair ward have recently been speaking to local Conservatives about the traffic problems in the area. Local commuters complained of the jams that occur at the end of Broad Walk, where they are having difficulty in getting out on to the main road during busy periods.

The amount of rubbish building up along the Green Chain Link has come in for sharp criticism from Kidbrooke councillor Graeme Coombes. Graeme lives right next to the Link, which runs past Mansergh Close and along Hornfair Park and has often seen examples of random fly tipping and a general accumulation of litter.
