How does this sound for the green space corner Russell Rd/North Circular

We've been working on Thames Water to free this up for community use like BPCA has got done on Myddelton - and we think it's going to work.

Given the (relative lack of) funds at our disposal, the officer thinks we might be able to swing...

"Some soft landscaping and a couple of benches – maybe even the pub style ones that are tables for people to sit and read etc.
