Over recent weeks, local residents have grouped together to press the Three Rivers Council for speedier action in reopening Ebury Play Area by the Aquadrome. A WhatsApp group supported by RDRA co-ordinated strong turnout at council forums and on social media to signal that residents wanted no further delay and that continued excuses were unacceptable.
Work is now underway at Ebury Play area with a target reopening date of 8th July. Furthermore, TRDC are now providing regular updates to residents on the progress of the work – something that hadn’t started to happen until residents came together.
This shows the power of collective action in our community: by coming together from all different backgrounds and having a unified voice, we can effect a change in behaviour from those elected to deliver for our community.
Our work has just begun to make Ricky a much better place to live in and hold our elected representatives accountable.
