After some chivvying by your local councillors, the council officers have got the brick pier to the Ashcombe Road south-east gate mended (right hand pier in the picture). Thanks officers! The pier in question was knocked over by a vehicle.  The gate itself will be refixed in place once the mortar to the new brickwork has strengthened sufficiently hence the temporary hoarding in place.

Local residents may recall that many brick piers have been rebuilt in the park in recent years following requests by the Friends of Carshalton Park and Carshalton Central councillors for the work to be done – funded by the Council’s Public Realm allocation and agreed by the Carshalton & Clockhouse Local Committee.
