CEPC puts security centre stage
The appointment of Martin Dolby (pictured) to the new role of Traffic and Security Manager signals the high priority given by the CEPC to improving security around Regent’s Park. Martin will be re-evaluating the CEPC’s security operations and working with residents and their own independent security providers to establish a more integrated security strategy for the park. He will also be tightening up the CEPC’s parking management regime to ensure that it is working effectively. You can contact Martin at martin.dolby@www.cepc.org.uk
Regent’s Park Residents Forum
The next Regent’s Park Residents Forum will be held at 7.00pm on Wednesday 28th September at the Regent’s University, Inner Circle.

If there are particular issues that you would like to see included on the agenda, please contact the CEPC before the 9th September. It’s also very helpful to know if you intend coming along to the meeting.
More garden patrols
Following requests from garden subscribers the CEPC has increased it security patrols in Park Square and Crescent Gardens during busy periods to make sure everything runs smoothly. There have been recent problems with non-subscribers accessing the gardens and dogs being let off their leads, so if you spot a problem in the garden or someone who you don’t think should be there, please call our 24hr Security Patrol on 07774 938 715.
New look visitor parking permits
Residents Visitor Parking Permits are now sold in a new scratch-card format. Yellow 2 hour and Blue 5 hour permits are available in sheets of 3 permits that now also show the terrace in which they are valid. The prices remain unchanged and your old format permits will still be valid for use until the end of 2016.
Camden to consider a new garden at Chester Gate
The planning application for a garden to be built in Chester Gate is due to be heard by the council’s planning committee on 8th September. The proposals are for the reinstatement of a private garden area last seen in Regent’s Park in 1873, after which it was removed for road widening. The proposals, which have met with a range of local opposition, will result in less on-street parking and will change this area of the park by creating a much narrower roadway for traffic entering the park.
CS11 Public Consultation Report
TfL has released the report on the recent public consultation about its proposals to bring a cycle superhighway route (CS11) through Regent’s Park. The report summarises all the feedback received from consultees and is available to view at consultations.tfl.gov.uk/cycling
New Post Boxes
Royal Mail has recently completed a refurbishment programme of all its mail boxes on the estate. All the boxes have been repainted and, in consultation with the CEPC, two very modern boxes have been replaced by more appropriate, older style boxes that are more in keeping with the age of the estate they sit in. At Cumberland Terrace the position of the box has been adjusted slightly so that it sits more discretely next to the spectacular Nash arches that are such an important part of the terrace.
