Kensington Summer Fun Day 2006
Quote:
This year's Kensington Summer Fun Day takes place on 8 July and organisers are confident that the 2006 event will be bigger and better than ever.
The fun starts at 11am and goes on until 4pm at Fairfield Police Club, with all the attractions of previous years plus new stalls, performances and exhibitions.
Entry is free and everyone from the Kensington area is invited, not only to attend but to get involved!
More than 40 local community groups are once again providing a variety of activities including stalls, workshops, performances and exhibitions. There is also a funfair, sports sessions, music and dance workshops.
The fun day presents a great opportunity for organisations and community groups to showcase their work in Kensington - and for local people to find out what is on offer.

Anyone living in kensington interested in getting involved
While C7, the city council, liverpool land and KNDC are all making a total F*ck up of the housing in the area it seems there might be a solution or at least the opportunity for some members of the community (i.e. people who actually live in the area and are committed to the area0 to make some inroadS into the redevelopment quagmire, if you want to see something shocking have a walk aroudn the Royston street area.
It seems there is a legla entity called a CLT, a community land trust which local people can set up, the idea being that this body aquires land or property and devleop it for the good of the community, either as housing (sell or rent) or shops or workspace. The government is keen to let communities to do this and if you go the CLT website you can see how it all works.

Also, how will Mr Faragher lose out being 6ft away from the 'dividing line'. It's not like they're going to post a cheque through every letter box on the 'south side' is it?
I lived in Kensington for 3 years (2 on the north, 1 on the south), and there were lots of problems. The park was dangerous at night, if you cycled down Kensington high street in the evening you were liable to have stuff chucked at you, and on the one my mate stopped to phone the fire brigade to report a burning building he was chased by stone-throwing scallies.
All the time you have people that don't care about their neighbourhood, and who will 'sh1t on their own doorstep' by smashing bus shelters, phone boxes, kid's play areas and public areas, you'll always have these problems.
where I live now, just inside L6 ie first house outside L7 regen zone means, we cant get signs up about fly tipping (no money) street lighting is significantly worse in L7 (dull yellow sodium as opposed to broght mercury vapour), the "Clean Team" again dont work in this area??? Stree clean ups paid for by KNDC
eight years and all we've got as an answer

Not exactly what I'd call regeneration......demolition and cultivation, I was thinkign of buying a few sheep when the grass has established and raise some local Kenny Lamb
