The Veolia
Havering Riverside Maintenance Trust has appointed Simon Parkinson as its
new Company Secretary following the
retirement of former Hornchurch and Rainham MP Robin Squire from the role.
The Trust distributes Landfill Community Fund monies secured from Veolia UK Ltd, to support projects that benefit Havering’s local community and environment like the Hornchurch Country Park Visitor Centre (pictured), and the restoration of Langtons Gardens.
Veolia Havering Riverside Maintenance Trust has £4 million of funding available to distribute to projects across Havering, over the next two to three years.
Simon said: “I'm delighted
to be joining the Trust. Any local
organisation seeking information about the Trust – or funding
support for local projects – should in
the first instance contact our Project Officer Gary Baker via email, gary@vntt.co.uk or telephone 01268 551810”.
LEAF Open Farm Sunday is farming’s
national open day and sees hundreds of farmers across the country welcome the
public and showcase all that British agriculture delivers.
It's an opportunity to see what happens beyond the farm gate and show support for
British farming. From enjoying tractor and trailer rides and meeting the
animals, to learning why worms are so important for the soil, following a
nature trail and learning how farmers care for wildlife, there is something for
everyone to enjoy.
