Parkside Needs You

FREE

Hi now I have your attention let me introduce myself, my name is Nick Grundy and I run the Parkside Voice website. I am also taking on the position of secretary for the group.

  1. Are you concerned about what is happening in your area?
  2. Can you spare a couple of hours in the evening on the last Wednesday of the month?

Then why not join our committee. We are only a small group at the moment but there is a lot we could achieve if we had more members. Apart from the meetings we would like to organise more events such as the Dog Day, The Christmas Party, The Community safety Day and the Teenage Mural Project.
But we will only ask you to give the time you can, there is no pressure to be more involved than you want to be. We are all volunteers with other commitments.
Its not all work we also try to organise a couple of social evenings a year for ourselves i.e. Curry nights Chinese etc.
We also desperately need a volunteer to take and type up the minutes of our meetings & put them on disk. I will arrange picking them up printing and distribution. A basic computer and training can be provided if required. Also transport to and from the meetings can be arranged if required.
If you are interested in joining us please give me a call on 01582 539260 or you can e-mail me secretary@parksidevoice.org.uk or if you want to know more about who we are and what we are doing in the area you can visit our website www.parksidevoice.org.uk

Parkside The History.

Can you help I am trying to put together a history of Parkside for our website. I am looking for pictures of the area showing how it has changed over the years, your stories of living on Parkside. The estate was a new concept having the houses built front to front with the road at the rear as opposed to back to back as many were used to in London, what was it like to have large open areas etc. We know it was built in the late 60's early 70's for the GLC were you involved in the building did you live in Houghton Regis before it was built. I would like to build a time line showing when different sections were built, when did the Dog & Duck open, when did the carnival first start outside the pub. Were you involved in a street party and what did it celebrate. You can contact me by e-mail on info@parksidevoice.org.uk or by good old royal mail, Nick Grundy 8 Dolphin Drive, Houghton Regis, Beds. LU5 5QE. Please provide your address so I can return any pictures.
