We are pleased to announce that Ben Skinner and Andrew Eden of Town & Country Gardens have taken over the maintenance of our garden.

Our original gardeners lost staff and found it very difficult to replace gardeners coming out of the pandemic. Therefore for the last 6 months, we have been operating on skeleton staff.

We are happy that we are back with a full-time team and look forward to bringing out the best potential of the garden.

We have updated the Bye-Laws. There were two objectives: (1) to remove elements that were no longer relevant; and (2) to improve clarity and accuracy of the document. In brief, these are as follows:

1. Remove references to the “dogs’ lavatory”, as this enclosure no longer exists. Reflect the shift from metal keys to electronic keyfobs.

2. Group all references to dogs in a single clause instead of three. At the beginning of the pandemic, we asked dog owners to no longer throw balls for dogs. We discovered this reduced damage to the lawn, and also reduced the amount of canine energy in the garden.

3. Most London garden squares prohibit all types of ball games. The rationale is simple: they damage the garden and create a disturbance that is intrusive to other residents. We have slightly modified our clause to reflect the fact that using a ball with a small child is unlikely to cause either.

4. The final clause has been modified to more accurately reflect the fact that the Act of 1851 provides specific remedies for Sub-Committees to restrict access to residents who consistently ignore these Bye-Laws.
