We have some green-fingered folk on our Treverton Estate in North Kensington, who love to brighten up their walkways with a variety of plant life.
We’ve seen all sorts from lovely potted plants to small winding trees displayed on the walkways that can be seen and enjoyed from all around the estate.
However, back in August last year the London Fire Brigade told us that having these plants and pots on the walkways would cause obstructions to firefighters and residents evacuating the building in an emergency.
Our residents along with the Building Safety Manager and Grounds Maintenance Officer put their heads together to find a solution that would mean residents could keep their plants but also have safe and clear walkways.
Following a series of conversations with residents, the suggestion of creating a dedicated gardening and planting space on the front lawn was put forward. This means residents will have a dedicated space to relocate their current greenery and have the chance to plant more and curate their own spaces with the help of our Gardening Club.
Thus, was born the ‘Treverton Greening Project’! With a name selected, and the idea in full swing, our officers are now busy putting together designs which will be shown to residents for them to give their opinions on. All being well, residents should start to see the Treverton Greening Project come to life later this year – keep an eye out!
