Well we had a very succesful meeting with about 25 people present,although we advertised the meeting it was really to see if the clubs and organisations were on board,then if they were to call a second meeting to form a PACT group then to get out to the public,.We have agreed that we have the support and arranged our second meeting for Feb 10th at the Scout Hut on Astor Avenue 7pm.
We were impressed with two students who are setting up a Company through BGSB who are looking to brighten up the Hamlets by using bits of unused land to build a Community Garden and working with Primay Schools to grow Vegtables and sell them thru Age Concern and other Agencies,we have helped them get some land and they will be having a web site and we will be producing a Tower Hamlets newsletter.
Once we have the PACT Committee we will then engage the general public and hopefully set up Neighbourhood Watch and other Community activities,we know that PACT has not always worked but we are very confident we have the right people already on board.We will then have many people being the Eyes in Tower Hamlets all working to make the area a better cleaner safer place to live and enjoy.
We have already the commitment from Councillors and Officers ,PCSO and Community Warden, Churches,Housing Associations, Parking Services it will not cost lots of money,but any we need to raise can/will be done by our group,starting this Summer.Areally worthwhile meeting.
