Park Wood & Senacre: What Would You Change?

we need the massive trees in Reculver walk pollarded. They are getting dangerous, the overhang is almost touching people as they walk through the walk, it has been done in several areas throughout Maidstone just not these WHY!!!!

Youth clubs tied in with older people integration
Repairs to roads and pathways makeing them safer
Traffic control on black spots
Front garden clean ups more respect for the erea of parkwood
Put pride back into parkwood clean up the shop erea
Clean up rubbish dumping black spots
More community gatherings useing the new heather house for social gatherings
Local gatherings and interest

Please consider the following suggestions for the Senacre area:

Free organised walking groups
Free activities i.e. arts and crafts
Allotments
Free community events i.e. weekly quizs, reading groups
Free summer fete and street party
Free Easter events i.e. Easter egg hunt
Free Christmas events i.e. wreath making

I think the woodland that runs parallel to Woolley Road and ends the bottom of Woolley Road near the near estate should be purchased and turned into a property nature reserve. This would create a lovely area for family’s and dog walkers while protecting from further development. The bearsted woodland trust would be can candidate example of this.

I have submitted formal proposals to the council for community uses and projects but unfortunately they have never even been acknowledged.

-Would be nice to see a bit more landscaping put in place in barer areas
-The garages specifically in Ifield close Senacre need refurbishing as paint peeling off doors, the roofs and faciers need replacing and probably the gutters
- would like to see the council edging the weeds and over grown grass on the pavements around senacre a regular thing, my son did the whole entrance road to Ifield close as it was terrible and now he’s made it look nice and tidy, if the maintenance crews just buzzed the pavement edges where the grass over grows with a strimmer every time they mow, it will stay maintained and easy to keep that way.

Senacre needs a coffee shop/community hub where people can get together and chat. This would create more of a community feel in the area, which is lacking at present. It would also alleviate loneliness in older people living alone in the area. This could easily be in the shop in Senacre Square which has been empty and unused for several years.

The streets in Senacre needs cleaning more often.

More GP's, there aren't enough for the population, which is increasing all of the time

You can do as much tidying up as you want but unfortunately some residents don’t care live lawlessly and have done so for a long time with impunity. Focus on the problem families and problem people deal with them with all available prosecution agencies. Remove untaxed and unroadworthy cars. Once that’s done then move to the next stage of sorting out the environmental issues. People that are honest and hard working are sick of the feral behaviours that have continued to blight senacre and parkwood.
