A Community Network for Bowes Park and Bounds Green
Hello
Had some comms through the door from our local MP concerning the alley alongside the railway - it appears that network rail are visiting on Tues 18th at 11am to discuss the maintenance of the verges alongside the railway and that local residents are welcome to attend.
It strikes me as an opportunity to take an interest and perhaps help them consider more creative ways to maintain the green verges and contribute to the area positively, rather than just being nagged periodically about clearing vegetation and them occasionally doing it...not to mention litter in verges issue. I imagine there will be many restrictions about the use of this space, given the locale and dangers but certainly worth a conversation?
The herb planters have been a great addition to the station and show value of a bit of green/planting thinking!
Any interest out there?

Hi Lucia,
I have been thinking for a while that the railway verges are a wasted opportunity and I agree there are many more creative ways of using that space other than allowing the brambles to take over and then hacking them all back in a sort of scorched earth policy! I am very time poor but I could join in if there was work to be done and would be happy to knock some ideas about.

Great idea.
Cleaning up the railway verges and cutting back the overhanging hedges and plants along the alleyway itself sounds like an ideal candidate for a community payback project. This might be an effective way to get a major autumn clean up done?

Lynne Featherstone MP has put a short report up on her website.
I contacted network rail about this last year. I made a suggestion in exchange for looking after the land but to no joy.
