Foot patrol (24/01/2026)

Open space patrols aimed at offering general reassurance to those visiting the ward's parks, as well as coverage of lower Rush Green, were ticked off Rick and Lee's to-do list this afternoon (5.10 miles).

The Eastbrookend Country (p) was covered first thing, including Tom Thumb lake, before heading into RM7's Valentines Way (1.51pm) via the front lakes.

Great Cullings and every street on Parish Fields (2.39pm, p) were next, before arriving in Central Park (2.53pm), via Harveys Lane and Thorntons Farm Avenue, to monitor moped/scrambler bike-based anti-social behaviour (ASB). Only a lively-sounding game of rugby was noted. 

Hooks Hall Drive in the Parkside beat and the May and Baker Social Club car park were also passed through.
