my last BAR

The last meeting I'll be going to as Councillor for Bishopsgarth Association of Residents (BAR), preceded by the last ward surgery in Bishopsgarth (lots of lasts!).
An example of what a good ward surgery can be.  Parents and grandparent of a young person who has been going to Sainsbury's car park to be with friends and skateboarding etc, worried about harrassment and being moved on by police.  The police were there, and a very good exchanging of views and information that we could all take part in, in moving forward to some solutions.  We have all got some work to do, and it is good we are going in the same direction.
Then the BAR meeting.  the big Buz is about the planned new play park in Bishopsgarth.  When we started BAR 6 years ago it was all about traffic calming, but with that done and in place so much more has happened, with Bishopsgarth being much better looking with environmental improvements.  the icing on the cake though is the play area that we hope is going to start very soon indeed.  Another example of what can be achieved if we can work together.
