Hatchard Road Garden N19
There is a secret walled garden plot in Hatchard Road, N19 next to the railway line. This is gated, locked and private. It used to be well kept, planted with mature trees and seating. But it has had no upkeep over the pandemic, it is now overgrown, full of litter and a hangout for foxes, it stinks! I think the land belongs to the electricity board? - there is a substation next door. Perhaps this garden can be acquired by the council and given over to a community garden project to maintain and put it back in to use for the local community. There is a community centre nearby with many container plants on the street already. This reuse would be a great asset for the locals and help put this garden back into use for the community to give this street bit of a social focus. And better than just adding a building there.
