So people are apathetic are they?

"People" in general have been called apathetic by a few people recently - the reason seems to be because these "people" don't turn up to meetings.

Well Tina, Carol, Chris, Elise, Shannon, Wojtek, Jen, Jenny, Mihal, Rhianne, Charlotte, Maeve, Mick, Sophie, Ronnie, Steven, Kristy, Jo, Paul, Andrew, Agnieskia, Nic, Anne, Keith . . . among others . . . have all been out there this weekend doing stuff on their own or as part of a group to make Langley Park a cleaner, greener, more pleasant place to work, live and visit.

As far as I am aware none of them have attended any public meetings - but I wouldn't risk calling them apathetic . . .

Stepping Up a Gear . . .

Langley Park is about to get some staff to work with us to make the village a cleaner, greener and more pleasant place to live, work and visit.

Thanks to Du service design who are providing Employers Insurance, We Are Langley Park is about to become a Placement Provider for BCTV Enterprises. 

We will be recruiting 2 people to work on projects that we in the village identify.

The first activity will be to go for a tour of the village, looking for areas to improve - no matter how big or small, whether it is public, community or privately owned, regardless of who currently is responsible.

This is our village.  And this is a golden oportunity to make a real impression on it.  To get it into shape for the future.

So look out for notices inviting you to come for a walk round Langley with notepads in hand.

A reminder request for patience

Since We Are Langley Park got started 6 months ago a whole bunch of new people have been in contact and got involved.

This is fab - and as a result the group is starting to make a real difference and gain a reputation for action and innovation.

This is also fab - but means a lot of people aren't aware of my original reason for starting it off.   A couple of years ago I had a stroke, which has left part of my brain not functioning (particularly my memory,. attention and concentration) - and litter picking was a suggested activity to help relax my weary broken brain.

I thought it worth raising now for new people to explain why I may not respond, or do the things I say I'll do without prompting.

I have an "assistant" who helps keep me on track - but sometimes I forget to tell her things (well, I would wouldn't I)

So please, if I don't do what I said I would do, I am not disrespecting you, I am not being lazy, or anything else.  I simply will have forgotten about it.

Therefore, please feel free to remind me.  I will not take offence.  Indeed, it will help greatly.

Thanks

Cameron
