Do you know
somewhere in Rainham you can
Clean for the Queen takes place from Friday 4
to Sunday 6 March and is a campaign to clear up Britain in time for Her Majesty
the Queen’s 90th birthday, which will be officially celebrated in June 2016.
When she came to the throne litter was not
the problem it is today so during that weekend the aim is for community groups,
businesses, schools and individuals to spend an hour or two clearing litter
from part of their neighbourhood.
We all know a local place where litter
gathers, so register your interest in a Havering Clean for the Queen event here and
let’s get it cleared up.
£100 fines to make school parking safer
Parsonage Farm Primary School, in Rainham, is among six primary schools in
Havering piloting a new initiative to tackle the
problem of dangerous parking outside schools.
A key part of the scheme is introducing a
Public Space Protection Order under the Crime and Policing Act 2014, enforced by
fixed CCTV cameras, with offending motorists fined £100 for each offence,
with the threat of criminal prosecution for repeat offences.
