The Council have been carrying out more improvement work to the flower beds to the Ornamental Garden which runs between Ruskin Road and Talbot Road after many years of seeming gradual “decline” in appearance. New planting is expected soon.

Cllr. Hamish Pollock, chair of the Friends of Carshalton Park whch includes the Ornamental Garden in its remit,  took some photos of the garden in it current state, with shrubbery having been given a major haircut and a number of diseased or dead trees and branches having been removed as requested by local residents and local councillors alike.  Soon the bulbs planted by the Friends of Carshalton Park should start to appear!
