Following our AGM last month and election of our new committee this is our first regular meeting of our group in its 4th year as a constitutional friends group.
We are approaching autumn and soon to be Christmas so lets decide what we want to achieve in that period and by when
The Gurdwara, Dudley Road West Tividale, Oldbury B69 2PJ at 6.30pm
All members of the Community wit an interest in Tividale Park are welcome
The National Express Foundation is central to National Express Group’s support for the wider community in which we operate in the UK.
The public order disturbances in July 2011 highlighted the issues facing young people living in inner-city areas in the UK. The disturbances involved a disproportionate number of people in the 15-24 year age group. Unemployment, boredom and lack of motivation among this group were all cited as factors.
The Foundation aims to tackle these issues in two ways:
Our support is currently directed at organisations in the former West Midlands county boundary (served by our bus business) and the Medway, Gravesend and Longfield areas of Kent served by our Kings Ferry and Clarke’s commuter coach services (postcodes ME1-12, ME14, DA3, DA11, DA12 and DA13).
Could volunteers meet in the park on 01/7/18 near the yellow barriers to run through a briefing on the event; this is so everyone know there roles and what we need to do in various scenarios.
Meeting time is 11am and will aim to keep it to no more than 30 minutes.
Volunteers need to be on duty for 8.30 at the Tividale Park Black Country Festival on Saturday 7th July.
If you can’t make the briefing, don’t worry let the organiser know and we can run through it on the day. (max@ tividale-park.org.uk)
At our May meeting we discussed the pros and cons of different venues and after receiving an invitation from the Bert, the Landlord of The Wonder, will be holding June meetings at The Wonder from 6.30pm to 8pm.
Come along and meet the gang! With the event so close it is a great time to get involved with a group dedicated to improving our local park.
We are current looking for helpers and stewards on the day.
Could you ask the council to cut the grass in the field is covered in dandelion weeds and now the area is covered in white seeds flying everywhere, it’s awful for asthma and hey fever sufferers.

Following a visit to Friends of Tividale Parks meeting in April, Sandwell Council have installed six new benches in the park after consultation with the friends group about location. We hope these will benefit the community and encourage more use of the park.
These benches were fitted and in use on 05/07/2018.
