The works will be starting on the new Fleet Valley Pocket Park at the end of the month. The name change to 'Fleet Valley Pocket Park' is in response to feedback from local residents in the neighbourhood forum http://www.mountpleasantforum.org.uk/ . The works will introduce significant areas of new planting, new trees, permeable paving, seating positioned sensitively within the design, as well as a playful mounds feature for children to enjoy going to and from school. A blue brick 'explorer path' will weave through the planting beds, referencing the route of the River Fleet that used to run directly through the pocket park.
Signs with more detailed information will be position on site in advance of construction starting, with a start and end date, as well as contact information should anyone have questions about the works. In the meantime, if you want to get in contact please email joe.lewis@camden.gov.uk.
