Exeter Parks Watch and St.David's Neighbourhood Partnership - A Very Convenient Arrangement

There will be many references to Exeter Parks Watch (EPW) throughout this Blog, particularly referring to specific individuals and their disgraceful behaviour, most of which can be supported by personal comment from other community representatives involved and also documentary evidence. Various emails will be copied to this Blog to expose these charlatans in their 'true colours', but first, a bit of 'background' re EPW.

EPW was originally formed to operate along similar principles to Neighbourhood Watch, the concept being that members of the public, living near or overlooking Parks, would report 'anti-social' incidents' to the Council or the police. EPW 'falls under the umbrella' of Devon and Cornwall Community Watch Association ( DaCCWA). Susan Lawrence, currently the Chair of EPW, was the Chair of DaCCWA until 'handing this position over' to the current Chair, Julie Dowton.
EPW extended their remit to implementing? improvements in Park facilities (well, some parks at least).

My understanding is that Christine Fraser (CF) (EPW/SDNP ) was originally paid by Exeter City Council to advise in the 'setting up' of EPW and, when the funding ended, she (CF) decided to continue her contibution on a voluntary basis. Christine Fraser has commented to me that, "She anticipates being paid £120.00 per hour for her 'voluntary' contribution towards the running of St.David's Community Centre if the newly formed, by SDNP, 'trust' gain control".

How reassuring to know that Christine Fraser and her ilk truly have the interests of the community driving them on.
