Cities hate parks and green space.. Cities (city govt) only care about more money.

Cities don’t care about green space. and butterflies..only money and profit .

Tragic.

A lovely beautiful story of local history of neighbors doing what the city failed to do or even care about.

thank you

Debra

They all look so happy too! Great effort & great result!

I was working at Canon Barnett school 1991-94. I have memories of going out doing home visits for new starters and walking round the still remaining bomb sites, covered in buddleia! Hard to believe how it used to look now.
