Residents should be aware that there have been sightings recently of a black Range Rover & a black Mercedes parked up on Castellain Road with the occupants behaving suspiciously. According to local resident Giorgios Giannakopoulos over five consecutive days they have been driving up around midday & staying put for a few hours with their engines running. Today at a slightly earlier time they were joined by a silver BMW. Originally they parked at the bottom of the road near Formosa Street but since then appear to have been working their way up towards the Sutherland Avenue end.
Mr Giannakopoulos has reported the cars' details to the Metropolitan police & been given a case reference number of CAD3249/30Jul26. If other residents spot these cars in the vicinity & do not recognise the occupants do please also report the matter to the Police using that same reference number.
Dear Residents,
Given the dry conditions and extreme wildfire risk in London at present, we wanted to remind all residents that there is no smoking, barbeques or other sources of fire (eg candles) allowed in Formosa Garden (excluding private gardens/terraces).
We also would be grateful for residents to remind garden users of this policy as necessary, and to take particular caution when smoking, barbequing or using candles in their private gardens/terraces given the risk from embers.
Further information regarding ways to prevent grass and wildfires can be found via the London Fire Brigade: https://www.london-fire.gov.uk/safety/grass-and-wildfires/.
We are grateful for your cooperation and hope that everyone has a safe and relaxing summer.
...not just the England football team but also the ever-expanding herb bed to be found at the far end of the Med bed. Created exactly two years ago it has gone from strength to strength, with basil & chives planted today to join the mint, sage, rosemary & thyme currently there in abundance. And don't forget -- it's all free to eager pickers living on the Garden!
