June 24th - The new climbing frame is up. It will remain "fenced off" until a safety inspection has been completed - currently scheduled for this Friday.
June 20th - At last some action! Council parking services were out in Bradway this morning looking at parking around Bradway Primary School. One of them was ticketing a car on double yellows by Bradway Close flats
June 20th - Complaints have reached us about the state of the hedges on both sides of the genel alongside the school field. It has become increasingly difficult for pedestrians to walk along unhinderd, especially if pushing a baby buggy. On the school side, the hedge is the responsibility of the school, who engage a contacter to trim it "once the nesting season is finished". The other side is the responsibility of the residents of St. Quentin Rise.
This morning our path clearing team undertook to cut back any obtruding growths on the school side. While they worked, they encountered some of the St. Quentin Rise residemts who reported they have all today received a letter from the Council advising them about their responsibilities and the penalties for non-conformance. None of those who spoke to us is in serious breach, and we hope that all the others will be equally responsive to that Council letter.
One quote on our FaceBook page says: "Nice one, was just thinking last night when walking there how potentially perilous it must be for small children with prickly brambles and holly sticking out. Even where the path widens there’s a lot of cut back that homeowners could do. Thank you BAG for all your efforts to make Bradway a better place to live.".

May 21st – Upcoming Events
On Saturday June 22nd, Playdale plan to install a climbing wall on the village green. This will then be cordoned off until a safety officer from the City Council gives it clearance at some point during the following week.
Saturday September 7th is the date of this year’s BAG Fun Day, and planning is already under way. The format will be very similar to recent years, with catering and “fairground” stalls to attract local residents, plus the application already lodged with the Battle of Britain Memorial Fund for a flypast of (at least) one of their aircraft. And, as usual, we will be looking for support with all of the setting up, and clearing away.
