THE Friends of Finsbury Park is a registered Charitable Trust whose No.1 object in our governing document is ~

To promote the conservation, protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment of Finsbury park, London

110-acre Finsbury Park forms the southern third of Harringay Ward of the London Borough of Haringey and by law, is held in trust for the public, by Haringey Council.

The Friends formed in 1986. Our supporters and volunteers include residents of Haringey; the two Boroughs that border the park—Hackney and Islington—plus the wider public beyond.

We are independent!

We seek to represent ordinary park-users in the normally-public areas of the park, for relaxation, recreation and exercise, and with a renewed emphasis on improved facilities; conservation, ecology and the environment.

We seek better policing in the park for the safety of all park-users. We seek more attention on the frequent, open drug-dealing and on anti-social behaviour (ASB).

We seek proper funding by the council and reduced dependence on the increasing size and numbers of far-too-big commercial events, that

• disfigure—and uglify our park

• damage—to paths, ecology, the ground and the carriageway

• deny access—to much of the best part for months, at the height of summer

• disrupt—traffic over a wide area; cause a road closure and bus service suspension on Seven Sisters Road

• din—create huge amplified unwanted noise in a two mile radius—plus ASB and vibration for the surrounding residents in three London Boroughs
