Landscaping on Swiss Cottage Open Space

Last summer access to the grass areas had to be limited due to problems with planting and volume of people etc.

We've just got an update from council parks officers with whom we've been liaising on this.

Landscaping works have now begun at Swiss Cottage Open Space, the majority of the planting works have been completed, but further works will take place in the New Year.

Turfing works to the main grass areas will begin on 4 January 2010. Temporary fencing has been put up to allow planting and turf to establish, depending on the weather, it is hoped that fencing will be removed towards the end of March 2010.

Let's hope this learns some lessons from last year - inevitably there are teething problems with a relatively new open space grass area, but hopefully this will ensure people can really enjoy this open space to the full this coming summer.
