I am having a lots of upset dog owners concerned that there is some plan to stop dog walking in Hilly Fields. This is completely untrue and there are no such plans. Some of this confusion might have come from a post on the new dog control orders which now apply in Lewisham. They can [...]

Playground Progress
They have had a rather muddy not to mention cold start on site, but they are still on track with the programme.
I got the first glimpse of a rather wonderful slide this morning, arriving with the swings and roundabout. Unfortunately I didn’t have a chance to get a picture of the slide, but here is [...]
playground works to start
I am reliably informed that the contractors are due on site this Monday, 8th February. They should be putting up their signs and setting up shop on the first day.
The blacksmith is hoping to take away the original gates to transform with the wonderful leaves and bugs from our children’s drawings. Can you spot the [...]
Gordonbrock Spiders
We are very grateful to APT studios for hosting this wonderful event and giving the children the opportunity to show off all their beautiful work.
The event was very successful and lots of parents took the opportunity to come along and see the exhibition.
Big bird watch
We had fine bright weather for our event and lots of interested people taking part. There will be lots of happy birds in the area, feeding on the beautiful bird feeders made by the many creative children who came along. We didn’t match last years twenty species, but had two new species spotted, a coal [...]
playground gates

Their designs from last summer have now been cut into metal panels for the new gates.
Our inspiration has been the spider, found in the playground [...]

PLAYGROUND update
The council received the tenders back for the playground last week. They will be appointing SSG contractors who are experienced and have a good reputation. They should be starting on site in late January.
The tenders were over budget and some work has been done to get them on track. This has meant that a few [...]
The big bulb plant
I’ve just spotted our bulb planting event on the big bulb plant website.

Tipped off by our councillor Sue Luxton, we registered with the big bulb plant and later that month received 250 tulip bulbs. We decided tulips would be best suited to the beds around the bowling green, which was fortunate, because they organised a [...]
