Local Parks: Sprucing Up Our Green Spaces. Carshalton Park and Grove Park by the Ponds are both benefiting from a programme of extensive bulb planting by the Lib Dem-run Council, to bring an extra splash of colour to Carshalton next spring. Plans also include the planting of some new trees in the parks and on the street verges and also a cleaning up of the WW1 War Memorial at Carshalton Ponds.

Cllr Hamish Pollock says:

“These improvements should make a real difference to the local area.  The council in partnership with Wandle Valley Regional Park Trust has also consulted on plans for the “Wandle Valley cycle trail” to pass through the eastern end of Grove Park and so link up the Westcroft Centre and the proposed cycle trail through Carshalton Park. This is very good news for those who prefer to cycle in safety off the local main roads”.
