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.
Most issues can be reported to WEST NORTHAMPTONSIRE COUNCIL using the App made for this purpose. It is available from Google Play for Android Phones or from Apple App Store for iphones. 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. It is not perfect but can be very useful.
If you want to report an issue about streets, use:

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:

were elected to serve on the FoEP Committee for another three years. Paul Ferris, Jamie Mckenzie and Clare Tinston were elected to serve on the Committee for three years for the first time. The full Committee is listed on one of the 'About Us' pages.
UPDATES WILL APPEAR HERE:
The revised WNC Parks Development Strategy regards Eastfield Park as a 'major park'. The original draft strategy did not include Eastfield Park at all, but thanks to submissions from residents, including the FoEP Chair, and a visit to the park by Cllr Rebecca Breese (then Portfolio Holder for Environment, Recycling and Waste) the Council has acted on our concerns.
