Paddington Rec: Listening to Residents

Back in January, a local resident came to us wanting to discuss Paddington Rec. We arranged a meeting with the resident, ourselves and the Cabinet Member for Parks (Daniel Astaire) one Saturday morning (see here for more information).

During the meeting, the resident highlighted a number of concerns about paving, closing times and suggested a number of improvements that users might welcome. Having listened, Daniel has now confirmed the following:

• that Park Security have been told to not begin to close the gates until 5 minutes before closing time
• that works will be done to some of the paving areas in the next couple of weeks
• that a dog rail will be installed close to the cafe area shortly

We're very grateful to Daniel for listening to local residents and sponsoring improvements.

If you have any issues or concerns about Paddington Rec - or anything in Maida Vale - please do let us know. We can't promise anything, but where we can help, we will!

Alastair, Jan and Lee
