New herb bed is ripe for plucking!

The new herb garden, created by Jan from Gravitas, is happily now up & running at the far end of the Med Bed. Go along & help yourself from a selection of herbs, including thyme, mint & rosemary!

Be on the look-out for crime

Sad to say there have been a few incidents of crime & vandalism in the area bounding the Formosa Garden of late. On July 4 the windows at Toast in Formosa Street were comprehensively smashed. Staff have no idea who was responsible but it followed a similar attack last year when police were unable to find the culprit or culprits.

Elsewhere there have been two muggings recently, on Warrington Crescent close to the Formosa St junction & Castellain Road, by individuals who appear to have followed their victims up from the Tube.

So please take care when walking the streets locally & if you see any signs of criminal activity report them to the police.

Check out latest plans for Warwick Ave improvement

You may remember Westminster Council published their Paddngton Public Realm Strategy earlier this year, of which Phase One was the improvement of Warwick Avenue to make it, in their words, "more welcoming, sustainable & accessible for all". Following a public consultation they have come up with ideas including the creation of new areas of greenery, improved signage & lighting & the de-cluttering of street furniture. Now you can take a closer look at their plans at the exhibition that's been set up outside the cabmen's shelter in the centre of the road which runs until August 1st.
