How did it start? A Residents’ or Community Association for Cannon Park was inaugurated at a meeting on 16 March 1978.
Early objectives included provision of a play area, a community building and a senior youth cub. Newsletters record a thriving youth club of up to 80 teenagers which met once a week at the Primary School.
The Association organised numerous social events, the proceeds of which, until later years, heavily subsidised its routine work.
The web site was inaugurated on 18 June 2008

Warning
A resident has had a bad experience with a cold-call tradesman representing Edwin Jones T/A Property Services of 40 Walter Scott Road, Bedworth.
The resident writes of the representative:
"Very persistent, pugnacious and bullying. Keeps talking at you till you give in, then does not do what was agreed. To get what was agreed he has to have a 20 minute argument with you. Also he asked for cash and did not give a receipt. His only reason given for his behaviour was 'he was a salesman'."
On 6 October 2010 the Coventry Telegraph reported : "A rogue workman has been fined almost £5000 after trying to rip off a woman terminally ill with cancer. Edwin Jones, trading as E & J Property Maintenance of Walter Scott Road, Bedworth, pleaded guilty to two counts of making misleading statements and one of failing to give cancellation rights when he appeared at Rugby Magistrates Court."
