Parkside - December 2024
Dear Residents, On behalf of all of the Peabody teams working here at Parkside, we would like to wish you all a happy, healthy and safe Christmas holiday. We look forward to working with you all in 2025, and continuing to develop the lovely community that we are growing here. Bianca and Kerry-Ann Neighbourhood Managers for Parkside
Have fun, but stay safe!
Getting crafty this Christmas If you have an artistic youngster in your household, or one that just loves getting their hands dirty, then please join us and the Parkside Resident’s Collective for our Christmas Crafting session. Residents are welcome to bring their children to the Community Centre from 46pm on Friday 13 December, where we’ll be making decorations and getting into the Christmas spirit.
E-bikes and e-scooters are becoming ever more popular as a means of getting round. But, as their popularity increases, so too are the number of incidents, including fatal fires, that are caused by not storing or charging them properly. So, if Santa is bringing someone in your household an e-scooter or e-bike as a gift, please make sure you only buy from a reputable seller. Here are some tips from the London Fire Brigade about buying safely. And, just as importantly, please share these tips on how to charge safely with whoever you buy for. If you celebrate Christmas, there’s nothing quite as festive as turning your home into a winter wonderland. Whether you keep things minimal or go full-on with decadent decorations, pretty paper chains, Christmas candles and festive fairly lights, make sure you check out our top tips to keep you and your neighbours safe.
Join us for lunch As we start the countdown to the Christmas holidays, we’d like to invite residents to join us to celebrate. On Saturday 21 December, Pristine Eats will be providing festive fare at the cafe on Copperwood Place. If you’re interested in coming along, pop into the cafe for more information. The PRC and Pristine Eats are also working together on a Christmas winter market food giveaway. The final details are still being organised, but look out for posters on the noticeboard in the cafe.
