Kingsway Villagers

During the KRA Committee Meeting of 29th October 2013 we were given the latest copy of the “Plans for the future of Kingsway and details on the adoption plan”.

The document was pretty big (5mb) so I said I would “look at the possibility of reducing the documents in size and uploading to the Blog”.

Because of the nature of the document that is not really possible, so I’ve enlisted the help of those helpful folks at Mediafire and uploaded it there for those who wish to view it.

This copy of the plan will be updated periodically, so I’ve added a link to it from our Kingsway Developers page.

As usual, the subject of parking problems in Kingsway has been in the news lately (see
here for details).

This morning I received a telephone call from Rubia Dar of Flame Television (the makers of “Heir Hunters” and “Don’t Get Done, Get Dom”), who are currently making a new six part television series about neighbourhood issues.

Rubia said:

"We are interested in hearing from local residents who have had neighbour disputes over the lack of parking in the area.

The programme will endeavour to explore the difficulties and emotional pressures people can face over neighbour disputes. There is no pressure to take part and all information will be dealt with in confidence.

If you would like to find out more please contact [email protected] or call on 020 7 598 7277."

At the Public Meeting there will also be an election for next year’s committee.

Do you know what Kingsway Residents’ Association does on your behalf? If not check out the Residents’ Association tab above (or click here, or here).

Do you have some spare time each month and want to contribute to the work of the Kingsway Residents’ Association? If the answer is ‘Yes’ then why not join the Committee by applying on [email protected].

Our treasurer has resigned on very short notice, so we are badly in need of a replacement. If you have the necessary skills (our balance sheet is very simple) please contact us (email above) ASAP.
