FoEP:
‘Friends of Eastfield Park’ (FoEP) is a voluntary community organisation whose main aim is to improve Eastfield Park, Northampton, UK, for the benefit of all its users. We do this through research, consultation, planning, development and promotion of the Park as well as organising conservation activities and social events in the Park.

Reporting Issues
By all means let the FoEP know when you report an issue affecting Eastfield Park, but you can report problems directly to WNC or the Police yourself.
Fly tipping, litter, graffiti, etc can be reported to WNC on-line using the following:

The old NBC App for mobile phones still works but it's preferable to use the WEST NORTHAMPTONSIRE COUNCIL App. Click on the 'Report It' icon and select the topic to report. You can use this site to find out the names of local Councillors, your waste collection details, your nearest library & food bank, hygiene ratings for local restaurants, and lots more valuable information.
If you want to report an issue with trees, use the form found at:
https://fix.westnorthants.gov.uk/
If there is an urgent issue with trees (such as a fallen tree across a road or a tree in a dangerous condition) phoning may help:
0300 126 7000.
The Council's tree policy has been removed from their website:

UPDATES WILL APPEAR HERE:
The Community Payback team has now worked in the park on four occasions, mainly adding wood chippings to the path on the north side of the Platinum Jubilee Meadow, but also strimming the Eleonore Hose meadow and litter picking. There are still issues to sort out but I expect thing to improve as we move on.
