Camden New Journal - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Published: 13 September 2007

Fencing has brought area back to us

• Ingestre Tenants’ Association would like to respond to Ruth Granoth’s letter (Treated as second rate, August 30).
The fencing which now surrounds Ingestre woods was installed by Groundworks through Camden, in direct response to concerns raised by residents of Ingestre estate about anti-social behaviour and general safety in the woodland. Through sheer determination to make the estate a better place to live, Ingestre TA secured almost all of the funding for this work and full consultation was carried out with residents.
The presence of the fence and associated works to the woodland has completely changed the area for the better. We now have the benefit of our own, safe, woodland where children can play in a natural environment surrounded by nature and all its wonders. Adults enjoy it, too.
Before these essential works the woodland was a dangerous place to visit, with burnt-out motor scooters, drug paraphernalia and dumped refuse a regular occurrence. All our hard work and effort has brought back into use a previously unsafe and disused area.

Roy Nairne, treasurer
