FoEP:
‘Friends of Eastfield Park’ (FoEP) is a voluntary community organisation whose main aim is to improve Eastfield Park, Northampton, UK, for the benefit of all its users. We do this through research, consultation, planning, development and promotion of the Park as well as organising conservation activities and social events in the Park.

Reporting Issues
By all means let the FoEP know when you report an issue affecting Eastfield Park, but you can report problems directly to WNC or the Police yourself.
Fly tipping, litter, graffiti, etc can be reported to WNC on-line using the following:
https://eforms.northampton.digital/reportItWNC/reportIt.html
The old NBC App for mobile phones still works but it's preferable to use the WEST NORTHAMPTONSIRE COUNCIL App. Click on the 'Report It' icon and select the topic to report. You can use this site to find out the names of local Councillors, your waste collection details, your nearest library & food bank, hygiene ratings for local restaurants, and lots more valuable information.
If you want to report an issue with trees, use the form found at:
https://fix.westnorthants.gov.uk/
If there is an urgent issue with trees (such as a fallen tree across a road or a tree in a dangerous condition) phoning may help:
0300 126 7000.
The Council's tree policy has been removed from their website:

If you wish to remain anonymous please contact CrimeStoppers (crimestoppers-uk.org/).

Our banner may look very similar to its appearance for the last two years! However, there is one very important change. The date on the RHS certificate has changed. We have again been awarded Level 5 (Outstanding) in the RHS East Midlands in Bloom 'It's Your Neighborhood' campaugn so the certificate looks the same but is dated 2024 instead of 2023.
This year the FoEP is carefully revising all its policy documents. We have just completed revising the Equal Opportunities Policy and the Health & Safety Policy, with just minor changes to wording and punctuation. However the Lone Worker Policy has been scrapped and replaced with Volunteer Activities Policy and Procedures. This explains more clearly those few occasions when volunteers are allowed to work alone but it also cover other matters such as the logging of incidents and accidents. These three documents all have links on our 'Logo and Policies' page but, for convenience, can also be reached by clicking the underlined phrases above.
