Welcome!!

This blogsite is for all of us.



We all love Leabank Square - and want to see our lives here improve day by day.

By contributing to this blog we will all feel as if we have a say in how we want our square to be.

Of course we could all use it as a whinge blog to whine on about the rubbish collections or cars parked on the sidewalk at the entrance -


BUT

- how about we all use it to make our lives a lot more positive?!

How about we all use it to organise litter pick-up days, or comunal barbeques in the middle of the square, or meetings to get the management company to change something?

Anything!!

Please, please, PLEEEEEZZZZZZ feel free to add comment (by simply clicking on the 'comment' tab at the end of each section), share news, show photos, invite neighbours, etc to this blogsite. Let's get communicating!!

Forum - Let's Discuss.....

I know that many of us are happy to simply comment on some of these blogs.

Then some of us are also happy to send some pics & topics for blogs to the leabanksquare@london.com email adress.

But if anyone is interrested in discussing any subject at much greater length & detail - then please follow the link to the Leabank Square forum site.

http://leabanksquare.lefora.com/forum/

You can either open up a completely new topic - or add your thoughts to an existing topic.

This way we can all get more off our chests, discuss new ideas, get to know each other a lot better - and generally improve all aspects of Leabank Square by chatting about any thoughts we may have!!

Even if you don't want to contribute - please visit it often to see what the rest of us are chatting about.......
