The latest things you need to know:
- After a fantastic Halloween and Fireworks Night, the next event in the Gardens will be our Annual Christmas Carols with the Salvation Army Band. They will take place this year on Tuesday 13th December. The start time will be 6.45 in the usual spot up by the Christmas tree at the North end of the garden. There will be mulled wine and mince pies for sale in case your throats needs warming up, with proceeds going to the Salvation Army. For more details, see the Events page
- We have added a new feature to the site, the Marketplace page. This is a new page where garden residents can post ads for things that they think will be of interest to other residents. Do you make or sell things from home, do you have an old buggy or cot that you think another resident might like, are you planning to sell or rent out your flat ? Enter it in the text-box on the page, and when you want it taken down e-mail the site administrator on admin@crescentgarden.co.uk. And obviously all residents should check in regularly to see the latest great opportunities being offered by your fellow residents
- The most recent Annual general Meeting of the Crescent Amenity took place on 22nd June. The minutes are now up on the Minutes page, at the link here
- You will have noticed that work has now finished to pare back the large London Plane tree in the middle of the garden. The tree is the very large one between the playground and Clifton Road.Unfortunately the main fork of the tree had a fracture which was identified by our tree surgeon during a routine inspection.We workedhard to save the tree. As advised by our tree surgeon, and with the support and approval of Westminster Council, the tree has beenvery heavily pollarded . The crown of the tree was reduced by 60%, a dramatic but unfortunately necessary step. The reduction was necessary to take much of the weight out of the tree and to make it safer.Our other option was to remove the tree entirely and I’m sure you will agree that retaining the tree, albeit significantly cut back, is preferable to losing the tree.
