My main points were to do with the duration and frequency of the fairs, levels of noise and of course the environmental effects on The Green.Here's the email:<br />Good afternoon and I hope you are well,<br /> <br />The council has taking the following actions after our last year’s meeting.<br /> <br />· Only three funfairs would take place in a calendar year<br /> <br />· Duration of the each event will not be longer than three weeks<br /> <br />· Each ride’s sound would be turned down that it could only be noticeable by the attendees.<br /> <br />· All the sounds and big rides will be shut down at 9pm. This proposal was tested during Christmas Fair 2015 and it did work.<br /> <br />· Circuses would take place bi-yearly<br /> <br />I have confirmed the above with the George Irvin’s team this week. Would you please let me know your thoughts.<br /> <br />Kind regards<br /> <br /> <br />Jem Kale<br />Events Manager<br />Filming and Events Team<br />Cleaner, Greener and Cultural Services<br />Environment, Leisure and Residents Services<br />London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham<br /> <br />Jem.kale@lbhf.gov.uk<br />www.lbhf.gov.uk<br />Director for Cleaner Greener & Cultural Services<br />Sue Harris<br /> <br />Boris.bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04211274752635369042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250470004431823419.post-2598410381556428332016-03-07T02:29:50.693-08:002016-03-07T02:29:50.693-08:00Hi Boris B - do post here what the Council's s...Hi Boris B - do post here what the Council's stated position is. The head of Parks for our Borough (and also RBKC) by the way is Ian Ross. Ian.Ross@rbkc.gov.uk My guess is that no-one really cares that much about Shepherd's Bush Green one way or the otherThe Bush Telegraphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05255960464635692950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250470004431823419.post-51308964272879108512016-03-06T01:59:59.847-08:002016-03-06T01:59:59.847-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Milopitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13614439630204787985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250470004431823419.post-23514848329463969812016-03-05T09:22:44.117-08:002016-03-05T09:22:44.117-08:00Miles, couldn't agree with you more.

If you'd like I'd copy those, so to give you some idea what the Council is saying. I hope we could have our say and it would be of some help if there are more voices out there.Boris.bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04211274752635369042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250470004431823419.post-12278418201570293072016-03-05T06:03:36.544-08:002016-03-05T06:03:36.544-08:00the drainage is a big problem - we have a mini-lak...the drainage is a big problem - we have a mini-lake in the middle of the Green.

The sound from the funfairs is annoying (mostly high pitched screaming) as is the amount of artificial light they through off. No doubt what little wildlife there is left on the green is wiped out every time there is a funfair.<br /><br />I don't think I am being 'nimbyist,' when I say that I would rather pay more council tax than have one of our few green spaces damaged each time a fair comes to town. <br /><br />I thought the Moscow State Circus was a good use of the green, but these random fairs far less so.<br /><br />What about the trees on the green? They are being cut down at a very alarming rate. Surely the fairs as well as the traffic and the pathetic drainage of the green bear responsibility for that?Milopitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13614439630204787985noreply@blogger.com
