Upcoming Traffic Meeting
Ian Daly and Maryann Allen from the LB Hackney Road Safety Team have asked for a meeting with LARA to discuss progress of the traffic measures/suggestions previously investigated and discussed, ie the Brooke Road 20mph zone proposals, and to finalise a way forward. We assume that the next step will be a public consultation with questionnaires to the residents but shall confirm this with LBH.
The meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday June 28th at 7.30PM
Location: The council chamber at Stoke Newington Town Hall.
All welcome, please come along and make your views known.
People Power needs your vote!
LARA committee member, Fiona Fieber is looking for support for her great project 'People Power', where artists will use innovative and creative ways to engage pupils and schools with renewable energy and sustainability. There are funds of £500,000 available to go towards the best projects, and the more support each project gets the more chance it has of being successful.
You can read all about it and vote here http://www.energyshare.com/people-power/
Vote for People Power!

The Big Lunch in the Bag
Despite the grey clouds and the threat of rain, we gathered slowly but surely and turned our patch of green into a cracking Big Lunch once again.
Thanks to everyone for turning up and bringing fantastic food to share.
Special thanks to Niall from St. Paul's for supplying tables and chairs, music from the great Jorge and all the extras needed to pull The Big Lunch together.
Fiona for the huge bunting supply and for whizzing emails amongst us all to set the day in motion.
Kerry from Growing Communities for the organic salads.
Café Mostra for the delicious cous cous donation
Andrea for the trampoline
Paul for the gazebo
The table tennis table was a big hit too! (Thanks Jo)
Helen for the crazy wall painting (apologies for the resulting paint covered kids!)
and everyone else who turned up to help on the day and during the big build up.
It was great to see our neighbourhood getting together, making new friends, catching up with local gossip and all the kids having a great time.
We managed to raise just under £100. This was a combination of individual contributions from the LARA committee, contributions collected at two Big Lunch meetings plus the donations collected on the day (Thanks to Guarda's bucket shaking!). This practically covers the cost of the park hire (£50) and the insurance (£50.35) which is excellent.
Looking forward to next year..June 3rd 2011
Here comes Jorge
A musical warm up
Food time!
The great wall of West Hackney
Left to do their own thing this time!

perhaps left for a bit too long....
But they were happy!
Non stop chatter
A post lunch bounce
.....and a final quick retreat as the rain came down
