Thanks in part to the lobbying of the “Newington Green Action Group”:http://ngag.org/ which I helped to run for several years the council has given my local park and its surroundings a “substantial facelift”:http://community.webshots.com/album/164183779IQuNzm.
In the seven years since I moved in the neighborhood has already changed significantly – we have gained a “genuine French patisserie”:http://www.n16mag.com/issue20/p13i20.htm, a several restaurants and a “vegetarian deli”:http://www.myhackney.co.uk/hackney/restaurants-newingtongreen.htm) among other amenities. With the boost that the newly laid-out park will give, I hope what was once a neglected traffic roundabout will become the neighborhood focus it always should have been and the benefits will be felt by all who live here for generations to come.
Couldn’t do the same thing for Holloway Road, by any chance?
